Week 5 – Oct. 9 – 1:00pm – Redskins at Ravens

Looking at this one at a glance and one might think the Ravens would be the clear favorite at home.  But fortunes reversed for both teams last season.  It was the Redskins who ascended to being a playoff team and the Ravens fell from a perennial playoff team to being a bottom feeder.

However, I expect the Ravens to be a much improved team in 2016 so the Redskins will have a battle on their hands here.  The coaches Jay Gruden and John Harbaugh don’t like each other.  There also is a rivalry brewing between the teams as they are in close proximity to one another and they both play in Maryland.

In the end I think the Ravens will take this one in a close one at home.

Prediction – Ravens win

Redskins Record – (3-2)
