28. Baltimore Ravens 3-4 (26)

Even though they started off the season with a 3-0 record, nobody considered the Baltimore Ravens a serious contender in the AFC, especially when considering their first three opponents only had one combined win. When looking at how the last four games have turned out for the Ravens, it’s easy to see why this team wasn’t receiving much respect at the beginning of the season when they were undefeated after three weeks.

It’s amazing how each of Baltimore’s seven games this season has been decided by single digits, but unfortunately they’ve come up on the losing end over the last four to drop this team to 3-4 heading into Week 9. With that being said, the good news for the Ravens is they should still be considered in the hunt for the AFC North, and they could make a major statement next weekend with a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Anything is possible when these two teams meet as the Ravens and Steelers are always considered to be one of the top rivalries in the NFL. What’s even more exciting is these games always seem to go down to the fourth quarter, and when looking at the injuries surrounding Big Ben, this could be the perfect opportunity for Pittsburgh to get back on the winning track.
