Baltimore got a look at three of its quarterbacks in its 17-16 win over the Bears with Robert Griffin III completing 7-of-11 passes for 58 yards and an interception. Josh Woodrum followed and was 6 of 6-for-37 yards and heralded rookie Lamar Jackson finished up with 4-of-10 for 33 yards. Griffin III and Jackson each had a touchdown pass. Los Angeles coach Sean McVay looks to continue to improve the Rams offense, which made great strides in 2017 scoring twice as many points as the year before. A lot depends on Jared Goff, who completed 62 percent of his passes last season for 3,804 yards and 28 touchdowns with seven interceptions. His backups for this game will be Sean Mannion and Brandon Allen. Mannion played in five games last year and started one of them. He finished the season 31-of-50 for 235 yards with an interception. Allen was inactive for every game last season and has not played in the regular season in his pro career. The Ravens have the benefit of already playing a game and getting their offense moving in the right direction and the Rams want to build on their 2017 season when they led the league in scoring. McVay has said he wants to unleash more of his playbook now that opposing teams may have adjusted to his first season as coach. Play the OVER.
