Baltimore Ravens (6-2) @ Miami Dolphins (2-7), Thursday at 8:20 P.M. ET

The Baltimore Ravens currently sit on top of the AFC North Division as Week 10 rolls around. They are a playoff team in every aspect and have responded well to adversity when they had bumps in the road during the season.

Since the Bengals came to town and embarrassed them, this team has played great football. They have only lost two games to this point, even though they have had some close calls. They were almost upset in Week 9 against the Vikings.

It was a close matchup that came down to the wire but the Ravens won 34-31 in overtime. The biggest concern for the Ravens going forward will be their defense. The offense is going to consistently put up numbers but their defense has to be more consistent as well.

The reason for success is turnovers and making splash plays on the defensive side of the ball for the Ravens. They need to constantly accomplish that to compliment their offense. They will have a chance to do that this week against a poor Miami Dolphins team.

This shouldn’t even be a close game as the Ravens are better than their opponent in every way. They almost got upset by Minnesota last week but they are better than the Dolphins. This home squad, Miami, is struggling to find any semblance of consistency.
