After starting slow, the Ravens are winners of four straight and one of only three teams to have been without a loss for at least four games in a row to this point. They will face the Buccaneers in Florida, a team that is an overtime period against the Falcons away from starting the season 5-1.

The second kickoff shows the potent Chargers' defense, one of only four defensive units to have allowed 20 or fewer points in each game played. They travel to Arizona to face the Cardinals, a team with more defensive struggles as they have already had three games allowing 34 points or more through the first six weeks.

Who is Going to Win?

Both AFC teams are on the road, and both are road favorites. The Ravens are favored by 3.5 points over the Buccaneers, while the Chargers are favored by two points over the Cardinals.

Most total points in the NFL through 7 weeks:

Buccaneers: 178
Ravens: 177

The Ravens have a dominating running duo in running back Derrick Henry and quarterback Lamar Jackson and the Buccaneers have a poor rush defense. On paper, this is a mismatch when Baltimore has the ball. However, we know that Tampa Bay has a potent offense. For Tampa Bay to pull off the upset, they may need to win in an offensive shoot-out with the scoreboard burning with points.

The second game is interesting, as both teams have exciting rushing games and want to slow the game down. Arizona's defense, however, has been abysmal so far this year while the Chargers' defense has been quite good.

This game will be a quick game I believe, as both teams value shortening the game with running the ball. Arizona would need to be efficient on offense and bait the Chargers into making mistakes to have the game end in an upset.
