Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens' #19 ranking appears surprisingly low for a team that has historically been competitive, suggesting significant underperformance relative to expectations this season. Their 6-7 record indicates inconsistent play and likely reflects struggles in close games or against quality opponents, as a typical Ravens team under John Harbaugh would be expected to perform better than .500. The ranking suggests the team may be dealing with key weaknesses on either side of the ball - potentially offensive line issues affecting Lamar Jackson's dual-threat capabilities, or defensive lapses that have cost them winnable games. Being grouped with teams like the Chiefs (who likely have injury concerns) and Dolphins indicates their wins may have come against weaker opponents rather than quality competition. To salvage their playoff hopes, Baltimore needs to immediately address their most glaring weakness and find consistency in their identity, whether that's establishing a dominant running game or tightening up defensively, while winning their remaining games against what should be manageable competition to reach the typical 9-10 win playoff threshold.
