Both teams enter at 2-1, but in opposite fashions. The Ravens topped the Cleveland Browns on the road with a last-second Justin Tucker field goal a week after crushing the Pittsburgh Steelers, 26-6. On the other side, Carolina was pummeled 37-13 on Sunday night by those same Steelers after beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions.
Over at CBS Sports, everyone except Will Brinson believes the Ravens will cover the 3.5-point spread. All eight experts think Baltimore will walk away with a 3-1 record. USA Today also sees a win for the AFC North power, and every analyst is siding with the Ravens to improve their mark.
