No. 5: Baltimore Ravens (4-5) at Green Bay Packers (5-4)

You probably won’t want to watch this contest between the Baltimore Ravens and the Green Bay Packers for the quarterbacking.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (collarbone) is shelved for an undetermined length of time, giving way to the 24 year old, Brett Hundley. Although Hundley has played moderately well his last two games, even completing 72.0 percent of his passes last week in Chicago against the Bears.

Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, though, has been terrible this season. His 72.7 passer rating ranks 31st in the NFL through 10 weeks.

For some reason, Baltimore is still in the thick of a playoff hunt, currently second in the AFC North. It’s primarily due to the defense, which ranks eighth in the league allowing 19.0 points per game.

The Packers, also in second place, still have a shot at both the NFC North crown or a Wild Card spot.

What makes this an intriguing matchup will be seeing how Hundley handles a Ravens defense allowing just 184.7 passing yards per game.

If you’re a defense-first fan, this contest is for you.
