The first of two “Monday Night Football” games will feature playoff teams from last season looking to keep the momentum going with the Baltimore Ravens (4-2) facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-2).

Baltimore got a stern test from the Washington Commanders, but the Ravens were able to hold them off a come up with an impressive home victory. Now Lamar Jackson and company have won four-straight games and look like one of the best teams in the NFL.

After a heartbreaking loss in Week 5, Tampa Bay took its frustrations out on the New Orleans Saints with a lopsided victory to remain in a tie for first place in its division. The weapons surrounding Baker Mayfield are becoming elite, and can they get a signature win against the former MVP?

Lorenzo Reyes: Ravens 29, Buccaneers 20

Not many teams can slow the rushing outfit Baltimore has with Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. The Buccaneer defense is serviceable and fine, but below average on third-down efficiency. Baltimore is the NFL’s best team at extending drives on third downs, converting more than half (51.47%) of the time.

Tyler Dragon: Ravens 26, Buccaneers 20

Riding a four-game winning streak, the Ravens might be the best team in the AFC. The Ravens have the best rushing offense and top total offense in the NFL. Can the Bucs slow down Baltimore? Tampa Bay scored 51 points last week, but Baker Mayfield had three interceptions

Richard Morin: Ravens 33, Buccaneers 24

Baltimore might be the best team in the NFL. Tampa Bay is better than some expected but they aren’t quite at that level. I’m sure Raymond James Stadium will be rocking, though.

Jordan Mendoza: Buccaneers 24, Ravens 23

Baltimore has looked like the best of the best in recent weeks, but this feels like a trap game for the Ravens. The running game may be limited, but Baker Mayfield slings it around to provide a shocking win in a nail-biter.
