Bengals vs. Ravens Week 7 matchup” - Kind: Availability Calls · About: Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Lamar Jackson — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/lamar-jackson - Baltimore Ravens — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/ravens ## What others said about the same people - Albert Breer on Jacoby Brissett: Breer argues the Jaguars should be taken very seriously, seeing a path to 13 wins and the AFC's No. 1 seed with a first-round bye, and they expect the Jacoby Brissett trade to Baltimore to be completed within a day. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/c51d9762-3ca3-4143-9372-bf508348053f (scored 100) - Nathan Jahnke on Jacoby Brissett: In a Week 9 recap, Jahnke expects Mark Andrews to remain Baltimore's lead tight end but says rookie Matt Hibner is more likely than Josh Cuevas to eventually overtake them, and they anticipate the Ravens acquiring Jacoby Brissett to start at quarterback. They also suggest Brian Thomas Jr. may have played their final game for Jacksonville ahead of the trade deadline. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/15c4c161-616c-4ed8-be6d-ad326cc50853 (scored 100) - Nic Bodiford on Joe Fagnano: Previewing Week 9 running game matchups, Bodiford expects Jacksonville to win lopsidedly over a depleted Baltimore team, with Bhayshul Tuten sitting out and Chris Rodriguez taking over as lead back, while Joe Fagnano starts at quarterback for the Ravens. They also view Broncos rookie Jonah Coleman as an RB2 going forward. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/a13b9f29-bb76-4c56-b226-aca74b21f5b7 (scored 100) - Mike Florio on Jake Moody: Florio expects Jake Moody to be promoted from Baltimore's practice squad to the 53-man roster if Tyler Loop lands on injured reserve. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/886a925c-c92f-46d9-a318-6203a5064de7 (scored 0) - Rich Eisen on Baltimore Ravens: Eisen gave a top-10 power ranking of NFL "game wreckers," predicted Will Anderson Jr. wrecks a game at least twice for the Texans this year, and walked through a Jaguars game-by-game prediction landing on a 13-4 record. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/c3c4f49b-d302-4b0a-927f-a151ca5da8d0 (scored 0) - John Breech on Jacoby Brissett: Breech picks the Jaguars to blow out the quarterback-depleted Ravens on Thursday night, and in Week 9 takes the Bengals to outlast the Falcons in a Madrid shootout.

The rest are conditional 'if they lose, here's why' framings rather than outright predictions. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/21061fbe-25de-4a51-9a45-33ca59fbf021 (not settled) - John Breech on Micah Parsons: Breech offered five bold second-half predictions, chief among them that the Packers win the NFC North despite being the division's longest shot, and that the Broncos overtake the Bills for the AFC's No. 1 seed for a second straight year. Breech also expected Micah Parsons back on the field in Week 12. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/94390c6d-8c93-48df-b3e8-95b822d3a67f (not settled) - Michael Moore on Hunter Henry: Running through the Week 10 injury report, Moore expects Rhamondre Stevenson, Puka Nacua and Mike Evans to sit out, while projecting Amon-Ra St. Brown, Bam Knight, Deebo Samuel, George Pickens and Hunter Henry to be available. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/cd84e832-035b-4ba3-90e9-e928c1396bf9 (not settled) - Jack Markowski on Michael Pittman: Markowski writes that with no practice window opened, Pittman Jr. is unlikely to play against Cincinnati, while Ben Skowronek appears ready to return for that same game. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/c75bea81-68d2-49b2-8697-d899bf40db47 (not settled) - Blaine Grisak on Puka Nacua: Grisak wrote that with Puka Nacua placed on injured reserve, the Rams receiver will sit out the next four games — against Arizona, Green Bay, Kansas City and San Francisco — and that Davante Adams should return after the Week 12 Packers game. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/6570ee51-64a4-445b-b4d5-88f7560c5689 (not settled) --- Accuracy is 0-100 against what actually happened.
