*Odds taken on 10/16/19.
The Ravens had +2200 odds before the Week 6 victory over Cincinnati. The final score was only 23-17, but Baltimore was dominant in nearly every statistical category. They doubled up the Bengals in offensive yardage, and had big advantages in yards per play, rushing yards, and third down conversions.
Lamar Jackson has been especially impressive. He continues to throw the ball well, but his ability on the ground makes him feel unguardable at times. He racked up 152 yards on 19 carries against Cincinnati on Sunday.

No Movement With Marcus Peters
After Week 6, the Ravens odds were listed at +1600. After adding Peters, Baltimore still remain at that same number. The addition of the cornerback is certainly an upgrade, but the lack of a jump is due mainly to the fact that the Ravens were already in a really great situation.
They have, by far, the best Super Bowl odds in the AFC North. Pittsburgh is on its third quarterback, the Browns are struggling mightily, and Cincinnati is one of the league’s cellar-dwellers. When it comes to making the playoffs, they’re in an identical spot as the division favorite.
It’s not a knock against the trade, but the Ravens were already playing well enough to insert themselves into the logjam at the top of the league. They trail only the Patriots, Saints, Chiefs, 49ers, and Packers. That list includes three of the greatest quarterbacks ever, two of the league’s young, emerging quarterbacks and a few of the NFL’s best coaches.
Value in the Ravens?
The future is looking incredibly bright for Baltimore. They are the favorites in the AFC North, and their path to the playoffs is a straight shot.
The fight for a bye week will be the more interesting battle. The Chiefs are struggling, and while catching the Patriots may be tough, Baltimore has a great chance of grabbing the second seed in the conference.

The Ravens are all-in with the Marcus Peters trade, and they think they have a chance to go all the way. At +1600, it’s a good bandwagon to jump on.
