Raiders vs. Ravens Key Players to Watch
Las Vegas Raiders
Zamir White: If the Raiders want to have any level of success this season, they need to get their run game going. Zamir White racked up just 44 yards on 13 carries for 3.4 yards per rush. They need more production from their top running back in order to hang with the Ravens.
Baltimore Ravens
Isaiah Likely: Mark Andrews was looked at as the No. 1 tight end, but Isaiah Likely emerged as not just the top tight end, but the best receiving option overall for the Ravens in their season opener, hauling in nine receptions on 12 targets for 111 yards and a touchdown. Can he keep that level of production up all season?
Raiders vs. Ravens Prediction and Pick
With the spread set at 9.5 points, I'm going to back the Raiders to keep this game within striking distance. I broke down the bet in the Week 2 edition of the "Road to 272 Bets":
The Baltimore Ravens were an Isaiah Likely big toe away from giving themselves a chance to beat the Kansas City Chiefs with a two-point conversion, but that doesn't mean we should necessarily make them 9.5-point favorites to the Raiders in Week 2.
Baltimore looked out of sorts offensively at times against the Chiefs, not to mention their defense gave up a blistering 7.1 yards per play to the Chiefs. Sure, Kansas City is the back-to-back Super Bowl champion, but giving up that much offense is a bit of a concern heading into the second week of the 2024 season.
It's an ugly bet, but I'm not quite ready to lay this many points on the Ravens. Give me the points with Las Vegas.
Pick: Raiders +9.5 (-115)
