Ravens Secure Second Straight Win
It has been a rollercoaster ride of a season for the Baltimore Ravens, but they’re getting healthy just in time to make a late push for the playoffs. Coach John Harbaugh’s squad enters the week at 3-5, and it’s important to note that they’re coming off of the “mini bye” since they played last Thursday night. They’ve won their last two games, taking down the Bears (30-16) and the Dolphins (28-6), more recently. Baltimore had gone 3-5 ATS and 6-2 to the over this year.
It’s none other than two-time MVP Lamar Jackson leading the offense this season. He has missed some time, but has still thrown for 1,073 yards on a 72.9% completion rate, adding 14 touchdowns and one interception. Zay Flowers remains the top target out wide, and he has 550 yards and a touchdown on 46 receptions. Derrick Henry continues to be a workhorse in the backfield, and he enters the weekend with 629 yards and six touchdowns on 128 carries (4.9 YPC).
- Offensively, the Ravens are scoring 25.3 points per game (12th), while averaging 318.5 yards per week (20th).
- Defensively, they are 24th in the NFL this year, conceding 27.0 points per game. They’re allowing 373.6 yards per contest, which is 27th.
Vikings Bounce Back, Beat Lions
The NFC North is one of the toughest divisions in football, which is exemplified by the fact that the 4-4 Minnesota Vikings are in last place in the division. They’re looking up at the first-place Packers (5-2-1), but the teams will still meet twice down the stretch. The Vikings had recently dropped two straight games to the Eagles (28-22) and the Chargers (37-10), but they bounced back last time out with a 27-24 victory over the Lions. At this point, Minnesota is a +390 long shot to make the playoffs. They have gone 4-4 ATS and 7-1 to the over this year.

QB J.J. McCarthy has missed some time this season with a lower-body injury, but he made his return in last week’s win over the Lions. He has now thrown for 444 yards on a 57.6% completion rate, adding four touchdowns and four interceptions. It’s none other than Justin Jefferson leading things out wide, as he’s caught 47 passes for 649 yards and two touchdowns. Jordan Mason is the lead back with 419 yards and four touchdowns on 98 totes (4.3 YPC).
- Minnesota’s offense has been average this season, ranking 18th in scoring (22.8 PPG), while putting up 291.8 yards per game (26th).
- On the defensive side, the Vikings are 20th this season, allowing 23.3 points per game. In terms of yardage, they’re 14th, conceding 316.8 yards per contest.

Ravens vs. Vikings Pick
Spread Pick for Ravens vs. Vikings
- Baltimore Ravens -4.0 (-110) (5 units)
The Ravens went through that rough part of their schedule where they coughed up a couple of games and also dealt with injuries, but it’s now time to start treating them like the AFC juggernaut that they are. I’m laying the points with the Ravens in this one. For starters, Baltimore is 14-3 SU in its last 17 games against NFC opponents.
On the flip side, I’m willing to continue betting against a young quarterback in J.J. McCarthy. He has only played in three professional games, and he owns a 57.6% completion rating this year. The Ravens are getting healthier on the defensive side, as they’ve allowed an average of 11.0 PPG over their last two games. Plus, they’ll have a rest advantage since they haven’t played since last Thursday. I think the Ravens cruise in this one and win by 10+ points.
Over/Under Pick for Ravens vs. Vikings
- Under 49.5 (-118) (5 units)
I’m going to play the under in this game. Mostly, I just don’t trust J.J. McCarthy in this spot against an upward-trending Ravens defense. The young quarterback owns a 57.6% completion percentage, and he has also posted a 4/4 TD/INT ratio. With Baltimore’s defense heating up, I won’t be surprised at all to see Minnesota stay at/under 20 points in this game.
As for the Ravens, they’re finding their groove offensively, but this will be an interesting matchup against a blitz-heavy Vikings defense. Minnesota has been decent defensively, limiting opponents to 23.3 points per game. The Ravens will likely lean on the run, which should keep the clock churning and limit the overall possessions. I think the final score will be close to the total, but I ultimately believe it’ll stay under – somewhere in the 27-20 or 27-17 range.
