6. Baltimore Ravens (8)

The Baltimore Ravens may prefer to see Lamar Jackson pass the football more instead of running, but when the Louisville product is on the go with his legs, the young quarterback is certainly difficult to stop.

Playing on the road against the Seattle Seahawks is never an easy task for most players, but Jackson made it look easy at times on Sunday to help the Ravens earn the tough 30-16 win.

Since every other team within the division has a losing record, Baltimore will clearly continue to be the favorites to finish on top of the AFC North for a second year in a row, and their chances will only continue to increase if Jackson manages to play on a high level.

By rushing for 116 yards with a score against a tough defense in the Seahawks, Jackson seems like he’s only going to continue to get better with experience, and will make the Ravens difficult to defeat in the AFC.

Once Jackson and the Ravens return from their bye in two weeks, all eyes will be on this team to see how the look against a top defense in the New England Patriots.

Jackson has already seen some tough defenses so far in 2019, but the Patriots could be his most difficult challenge to date.
