Owned: ESPN 46%, Yahoo 29%
numberFire Projected Rank: 26th

The Baltimore Ravens' defense has been a stingy unit through four weeks, allowing only 18 points per game, seventh-best in the league.

According to numberFire's schedule-adjusted Kirk Cousins who has already tossed four picks, tied for 9th-most in the league.

Meanwhile, the Ravens have found success in getting after the quarterback. They're tied for 12th in the league in sacks (9) and are tied for 14th in quarterback hits (20). Additionally, the Ravens' defense has forced six turnovers on the season, including five picks.

Vegas has set the Ravens as a 3.5-point favorite in what is projected to be one of the higher scoring games of the week with a 46.5-point over/under.

The Washington defense has been a sieve through four weeks, allowing 28 points per game, seventh-most in the league. If Joe Flacco and company can take advantage of the Redskins' suspect defense, Cousins will be tasked with playing from behind on the road, a position where he's been known to make mistakes.
