At home they host Cincinnati, Dallas, Oakland and should be able to win at least one of three games against solid competitors, the Giants, Broncos or the Patriots. That’s five “easy” wins.
On the road they play Kansas City, Cleveland, Washington. That should be three easy wins.
Oh, but the Ravens do have one of the toughest schedules. Other road games include Houston, Pittsburgh and San Diego.
The final week’s game should be a win assuming Cincinnati has little more to play for. This could be an improved Cincy team.
In the end, it may just come down to history. The Ravens have gone 12-4 each of the last two seasons. They are 3-1 winning more than 10 games the last four seasons with nine wins in 2009.
This is a team that can probably beat one of three solid competitors on the road in San Diego, Houston or Pittsburgh.
We think 10 games is a good call for such a tough schedule but Baltimore will be a tough team, good enough that six losses is hard to fathom.
