Saints vs Ravens Prediction
In this Saints vs Ravens Prediction, the Ravens are coming as -8.5 home favorites. Both teams are coming off opposite outcomes in their opening games of the season, with the Ravens winning on the road and their offensive line looking great, scoring 41 points. On the flip side, the Saints lost on the road and allowed 31 points and will be playing their second straight game on the road to start the season. They have won and covered the spread only once in their five meetings against the Ravens and I don’t expect them to put much of a fight in this one. Take the Ravens and lay the -8.5 at home.
