      There are more consensus picks than earlier

      With the Ravens derailed season paused for the bye week http://www.ravenscheapstores.com/sam-koch-jersey-cheap , the Baltimore Beatdown writers continue to predict the rest of the NFL matchups in Week 10. as top-tier teams are separating themselves further from the pack as the season progresses.Current standings:Kyle A. and FrankSage and readersVasJakeZachKyle B.DustinLoganAn analysis of the Baltimore Beatdown staff picksConsensus winnersThe Saints defeat the Bengals (NO -5.5)The Chiefs dominate the Cardinals (KC -16.5)The Patriots continue their winning ways against the Titans (NE -6.5)The Chargers beat the struggling Raiders (LAC -9.5)The Packers get back on track against the Dolphins (GB -9.5)The Rams rebound with a win over the Seahawks (LAR -9.5)Baltimore will need help from New Orleans to keep the Bengals from distancing themselves in the wild card race. Coming off a marquee win over the Rams, the Saints are one of the hottest offenses in the league and added another weapon in wide receiver Dez Bryant this week. Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City should make slight work of the anemic Cardinals. In typical New England fashion, the Patriots slow start is a thing of the past and their win streak should extend to seven after Week 10. Oakland has been a disaster in Jon Gruden’s return, and the Chargers are an under recognized 6-2. Despite the Packers dropping the Rodgers v. Brady battle, the Dolphins are limping into Week 10 with an ugly win over the Jets. While the Rams undefeated campaign has come to an end, Seattle has been inconsistent and is a disappointing .500 on the season.‘Lone wolf’ picksJake is the only writer to predict the Bills to win against the Jets (NYJ -6.5)Logan is alone in his confidence that theCowboys beat the Eagles (PHI -7.0)Even though the Jets only have one more win than Buffalo, the gap between Sam Darnold and the Bills quarterback room is vast and should propel the Jets to victory this week. Trading for Amari Cooper is simply not enough to fix the Cowboys decline in the NFC East standings. With the fan base calling for major changes in Dallas, the Eagles are well positioned to pick up a critical divisional win. All writers’ picks can be found in the table below.NFL Week 10 PicksGamesKyle A.FrankSageVasilisJakeZachKyle B. DustinLoganBB ReadersGamesKyle A.FrankSageVasilisJakeZachKyle B. DustinLoganBB ReadersVote for every Week 10 matchup!Jimmy Smith’s suspension could open the door for the Ravens’ bubble players Minutes before the Ravens’ third preseason game, the Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec reported that cornerback Jimmy Smith is facing a multi-game suspension. This was significant news for Baltimore as Smith is their top cornerback Youth Matt Skura Jersey , but it appears they have the depth to handle his absence for multiple weeks. When Smith missed the final four games of the 2017 season, the Ravens’ secondary did not struggle to the level that they did in previous years without him. The loss of Smith provided an opportunity for Marlon Humphrey to receive more snaps, and he took full advantage of that opportunity. Humphrey was impressive in his first NFL start against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. He only allowed six completions for 37 yards on 12 targets, including two receptions for seven yards to Antonio Brown on five targets, per Pro Football Focus. With Humphrey likely becoming the team’s top cornerback in this scenario, Brandon Carr would be the No. 2 cornerback. He was inconsistent for much of the 2017 season, but he is an ironman. Carr has started every game in his 10-year NFL career. The return of Tavon Young as the team’s primary slot cornerback paired with the versatility and emergence of Maurice Canady and Anthony Averett would give Baltimore a talented secondary despite Smith’s absence. The Ravens did bring in cornerback Bashaud Breeland, which could show that they may not be content with the cornerback position without Smith. However, given the strong play of Anthony Averett in the preseason, their perception of their depth at this position could change. Since suspended players do not count towards the 53-man roster http://www.ravenscheapstores.com/brent-urban-jersey-cheap , the Ravens would seemingly have an extra roster spot. With players like Kamalei Correa, Robert Griffin III, Breshad Perriman, Tim White, Janarion Grant, Darren Waller, Maxx Williams, Bronson Kaufusi, and Albert McClellan all on the roster bubble, the Ravens could keep an additional player at a different position because of this suspension.7th receiverThe Ravens have an interesting dilemma at the wide receiver position. Outside of the top four receivers Cheap Terrell Suggs Jersey , no player has emerged in the competition. Jordan Lasley, Jaleel Scott, Breshad Perriman, Gus Edwards, Tim White, Zach Sieler, and Janarion Grant are all fighting for two, or maybe three, spots. With Scott and Lasley likely safe, the seventh receiver spot could be awarded to the winner of the returning competition. They could keep Perriman Cheap Mark Andrews Jersey , who has posted the best numbers out of all of the bubble wide receivers this preseason and let Chris Moore handle the returning duties. Third quarterbackThe Ravens have not kept a third quarterback on their roster since 2009, but Griffin III could change that. He has been solid throughout the preseason, and if Baltimore does not feel comfortable with Lamar Jackson being the only backup, he will be on the team. Fourth tight endMark Andrews, Nick Boyle, and Hayden Hurst are all destined for the 53-man roster. After those three, the Ravens could keep a fourth tight end, which they have done in previous seasons, but it was unclear if they would be afforded that luxury this year. Maxx Williams has had a quiet preseason thus far, but he has flashed potential in years prior and could be worth keeping. Darren Waller has a high ceiling given his rare height Youth John Brown Jersey , speed and athleticism, but his off-the-field issues have plagued him. He could add a different element to Baltimore’s passing game.Sign up for Baltimore Beatdown FanPulse!Versatile linebackerIt would be a surprise if Kamalei Correa and Albert McClellan both missed the 53-man roster. With this new roster spot, the Ravens could keep both of them. They each provide value on special teams and versatility as they can play outside or inside linebacker. Fourth running back Kenneth Dixon had an impressive preseason performance against the Colts, but his track record shows that he is far from reliable at this point. Given his injury history, the Ravens may opt to keep a fourth running back for added insurance. Baltimore could sign a free agent running back or keep Gus Edwards, who has had a solid preseason. Extra defensive line helpThe Ravens have plenty of depth on the defensive line, and the final spot is likely between Zach Sieler and Bronson Kaufusi. Baltimore could opt to keep both players for extra depth as they have done this in previous seasons. Kaufusi also showcased his versatility as he can play outside linebacker as well. He has had a strong preseason, while Sieler has also flashed at times as well.
