Baltimore Ravens Form
The Baltimore Ravens are on a great run of form after making it three wins in a row by beating the New Orleans Saints 13-27 last week, leaving them 7-3 in their last 10 matches.
The Baltimore Ravens continue to put up decent numbers in offense, scoring 23.2 points in their last five matches. Considering their season average is 26.1 points, this suggests the offensive unit is consistent. The defense, on the other hand, has really stepped up against opposing offenses of late. In the past five outings, the hosts have only given up 19.2 points on average. This is better than how they’ve fared over the season, having allowed 21.8 points per game in comparison.
In 2021, the Baltimore Ravens came home in fourth place in the AFC North standings after going 8-9 across all games. The hosts naturally hope to go even better this season. However, like every other team in the NFL, sealing a spot in the playoff during this regular season is the first and foremost priority for now.
Carolina Panthers Form
The Carolina Panthers got a nice surprise win by beating the Atlanta Falcons 25-15 in their last time out. They now have a 3-7 record from their last 10 matches and are 0-5 in the last 5 on the road.
In terms of points added, it’s fair to say the Carolina Panthers have a strong and consistent offense. The unit has put 22.2 points on board in the last five matches after all, while averaging 20.4 points for this season. A below-average defense isn’t what any traveling team wants to hear, but that’s how it is for the Carolina Panthers. The visitors have allowed a nerve-wracking 24.3 points per game this year.
2021 was a year to forget for the Carolina Panthers. The visitors failed to reach the playoffs, having finished fourth in the NFC South at 5-12, and are expected to miss the NFL postseason again, having gone 3-7 so far in the current campaign.
