Noah Camras: The first of the two Monday Night games should be a high-scoring affair between two 4-2 teams. The Ravens enter the matchup red-hot, having won four straight. The Buccaneers are coming off a 51-27 beatdown of the Saints, and have scored at least 30 points in their last three matchups. In this one, though, it will be the Ravens defense that comes up with the big stop, and Baltimore will move to 5-2 to tie the Pittsburgh Steelers atop the AFC North.
Prediction: Ravens 31, Buccaneers 27
Eva Geitheim: This game is truly a toss up because both offenses have been on fire lately. I could see either team winning but am going with the home team who just scored 51 points last week.
Prediction: Buccaneers 35, Ravens 31
Ricardo Sandoval: After going 0-2, the sky appeared to be falling for the Baltimore Ravens. Four consecutive wins later, things are back to normal. The Ravens look like their dominant self, and while they have a tough matchup on the road against the Buccaneers, the Ravens should continue to establish their dominance and move to 5-2.
Prediction: Ravens 34, Buccaneers 24
Alex Kirschenbaum: Both clubs enter with a 4-2 record, but with Tampa Bay hosting, Pro Bowler Baker Mayfield is looking to show off against the reigning MVP in Lamar Jackson.
Prediction: Buccaneers 27, Ravens 20
James Brizuela: The Ravens and Bucs might be one of the most exciting matchups this entire season. Both teams have dynamic quarterbacks along with strong receiving corps. The Ravens have a clear advantage in the run game, but the Bucs also have home field advantage. This could be a shootout, and expect it to be. However, the Bucs will pull off the big win on Monday Night.
Prediction: Buccaneers 32, Ravens 28
