Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Moon projects the Ravens to win the Super Bowl on account of Lamar Jackson and team’s roster construction
The expectations for the Baltimore Ravens in the Lamar Jackson era have ramped up each year. They’ve been on the cusp of making the Super Bowl numerous playoffs in a row, but have failed to play to their potential. But Jackson and the Ravens aren’t the only AFC team with a superstar quarterback that has struggled to break through, with Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen and Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Burrow as well.
But of those three, which quarterback and team are most likely to break through? When Up & Adams’ Kay Adams asked Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon, he picked Jackson without pause.
“I think Lamar,” Moon said. “They just keep building that roster. You look at their secondary, it’s probably one of the best secondaries in the league right now. They’re just very physical all the time. They still have Derrick Henry back there; he hasn’t fallen off. All his receivers are back. That’s a team that’s right there ready to go.”
Moon isn’t the only person with faith in the Ravens. According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Ravens (+650) are the odds-on favorite to make the Super Bowl, ahead of the Bills (+700), Philadelphia Eagles (+750) and the Kansas City Chiefs (+800). ESPNBet Sportsbook has the Ravens as the second favorite, behind only the Eagles.
The Ravens have been frequently high ranked in roster construction, top 10 players and are shaping up to be a contender. But putting it together for three or four games at the end of the season is what matters most.
