Ravens vs. Rams: TV Schedule, Live Streaming, Radio, Game Time and More

After beating down the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1, the Baltimore Ravens looked terrible against a mediocre Tennessee Titans that took it to the elder statesmen.

Depending on which Ravens team shows up, the St. Louis Rams will look to be the second upset special of September for the aging Baltimore team.

St. Louis needs their star running back Steven Jackson to play to be successful, but if he is in the Rams backfield, Tennessee laid out a plan to beat the Ravens that the Rams will try and follow.

What's at Stake?

It is very obvious that the St. Louis Rams are a good team, but don’t have all the necessary pieces to get over the hump as an elite team in the NFC. That doesn’t mean they can’t make the playoffs since they play in the worst division in football, the NFC West.

The Baltimore Ravens went from being on top of the world after trouncing the Pittsburgh Steelers to the bottom of the barrel when they got beat by the Tennessee Titans. If the Ravens lose to the Rams, Baltimore’s season would be done.

Fantasy: Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Sleeper

Start 'Em: Ray Rice, Ravens

No matter whom the opponent is, if Ray Rice is on your roster he should be in your lineup.

While the St. Louis Rams have a solid run defense, they are slower on the edges and that’s where Rice likes to get out to and use his speed to blow by defenses.

Sit 'Em: Steven Jackson, Rams

Not only is the powerful back on the mend from a thigh injury, the St Louis Rams are going against one of the best run defenses in the history of football.

With Haloti Ngata, Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs on the case, along with the rest of the maniac the ravens march out to the field, Jackson won’t get many points if he even plays.

Sleeper: Lee Evans, Ravens

The St. Louis secondary is very suspect, and with the Rams concentrating most of their attention on star receiver Anquan Boldin, there will be man-coverage for Lee Evans.

Evans has the speed to burn past any coverage handed to him, and you should expect a few bombs to the speedy wideout.

Rams Player to Watch: James Laurinaitis

While he will be overshadowed by the middle linebacker on the other team, if I was starting a franchise today I would select James Laurinaitis over Ray Lewis any day.

Laurinaitis is one of the best run stopping linebackers and his ability to cover tight ends has made him one of the premiere defensive players in the entire NFL. With the bright lights of the AFC crowd on him, let’s see if he brings his game to a new level.

Ravens Player to Watch: Ed Reed

When Ed Reed wakes up in the morning, he pours himself a tall bowl of young quarterbacks. Interceptions are just what Ed Reed does, that’s his vampire blood.

If Sam Bradford isn’t 100 percent on his game Sunday, the pressure from the Ravens front seven will have Ed Reed ball hawking all over the field.

Key Matchup: Sam Bradford vs. Joe Flacco

This is a battle of two young quarterbacks and how they handle the defensive schemes of the other team. While Flacco has the experience edge, Bradford definitely has the higher ceiling as far as being an elite NFL quarterback.

With a Ravens team disheveled from their surprising loss to the Tennessee Titans, this could be the national stage Sam Bradford and the Rams need for their coming out party…or not.

Prediction: Baltimore Ravens 17, St. Louis Rams 9
