Why bet on Baltimore versus New Orleans?
The Ravens boast one of the league’s top offenses. Baltimore’s effectiveness on offense starts with Lamar Jackson, who should have too much speed for New Orleans’ defense.
Jackson has rushed for a 7.4 per carry average on his way to 553 yards each game. The Baltimore quarterback is unstoppable. If you do decide to concentrate on stopping Jackson, Baltimore’s running backs, Kenyan Drake and Gus Edwards, will punish you.

Baltimore Ravens at New Orleans Saints Final Betting Prediction
A couple of things happened over the weekend that make the Saints the better play. First, the Ravens will be without Lamar Jackson’s top wide receiving target, Mark Andrews.
Because the tight-end, who is one of the best in the NFL, must sit this one out, the Saints can put an eighth man in the box to stop the Ravens’ rushing attack. Doing so means corners Paulson Adebo and Alontae Taylor must play man-to-man.
No worries for New Orleans. The Saints will dare Lamar to throw the deep ball. Marcus Maye is one of the best free safeties in the league while Tyrann Mathieu can drop back into coverage or rush Jackson.
The other news that leads to backing the Saints against the spread is that wide receiver Jarvis Landry has been upgraded to questionable. Rashid Shaheed is a revelation while rookie Chris Olave is playing like a WR1. So if Landry can play, it’s a huge boost to the Saints’ passing attack.
Andrews’ missing in action, Landry possibly stepping onto the field, and this happening in the Dome. means New Orleans is the play. Saints wins SU.
