With one of the best primetime games being played this season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers facing off against the Baltimore Ravens on Amazon prime’s Thursday night football game, let’s do a deep dive into what each team’s X Factor will be and what the most likely outcome for this game will be.
First let’s start for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and what their biggest key to winning this game against the Ravens will be, with the Buccaneers having multiple skill positions, players like Julio Jones, Cameron, Brate, and Russell Gage they should be relying heavily on the run game in Leonard Fournette. The Ravens secondary is banged up and with the Buccaneers losing back to back games Tom Brady will likely be pinpoint on his accuracy and timing.
The biggest X factor for the Ravens to win this game is definitely going to be Lamar Jackson distributing the ball to the Ravens playmakers, like the Buccaneers, the Ravens have one of the most banged up secondaries in the NFL with their top two cornerbacks being questionable and other defensive backs also being out, Baltimore should heavily rely on Lamar in his passing game. Now the Ravens might struggle to run the ball effectively due to the fact that starting running back J.K Dobbins is now on I.R, but with a very banged up Tampa Bay defense this Ravens team can give the Bucs major trouble, but the passing game will definitely be the key to winning for the ravens.
Overall I predict this game will be close but I do have Baltimore winning this game due to the fact that the Buccaneers are probably the most injury rattled team this season and multiple distractions coming in again this week I don’t see a scenario where Tampa Bay will win this game. I have the ravens winning 21-17.
