Lorenzo Reyes: Ravens 23, Buccaneers 17
Win or lose, Baltimore, lately, has played in tight games. Five of their last six have been one-score outcomes. The Buccaneers and Tom Brady are in uncharted territory as far as midseason struggles go. I do think Tampa corrects some of its issues, but I think Baltimore should at the very least cover this line.
Safid Deen: Ravens 23, Buccaneers 20
Not many NFL teams have been more frustrating than the Buccaneers this season, and their dysfunction against Pittsburgh and Carolina the last two weeks will show up at home in primetime on Thursday night against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.
Lance Pugmire: Ravens 27, Buccaneers 16
The perception that Tom Brady is too distracted to win like before became a firmer reality in the loss to the Panthers. Moving to face Lamar Jackson on short rest? The AFC South winner may finish with a losing record.
Jarrett Bell: Buccaneers 27, Ravens 24
Nate Davis: Ravens 24, Buccaneers 23
Tyler Dragon: Ravens 23, Buccaneers 20
