The Review-Journal’s Matt Youmans, Las Vegas handicapper Kelly Stewart and Golden Nugget sports book director Tony Miller preview the Ravens’ season in the 17th of a series of 32 NFL team videos:

The Ravens were wrecked by injuries to outside linebacker Terrell Suggs, wide receiver Steve Smith and quarterback Joe Flacco. Baltimore finished 5-11 last season after winning 10 games in 2014.
Is Flacco, who went down to a season-ending knee injury in November, an elite QB or just Average Joe?
Rookie left tackle Ronnie Stanley is the protector of Flacco’s blind side. Stanley, the No. 6 overall pick from Notre Dame, is a Bishop Gorman High product.
Is the window shut on this aging team? Or can the Ravens rebound and return to the playoffs?
Over or Under 8 regular-season wins?
