The Baltimore Ravens (5-3) are in the Big Easy Monday to take on the New Orleans Saints (3-5). Kickoff from Caesars Superdome is set for 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s'lines around the Ravens vs. Saints odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Saints have been a mess this season. After a slow start under QB Jameis Winston, they were forced to move to QB Andy Dalton due to an injury to Winston. Despite a 30-26 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6 and a 42-34 defeat at the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7, New Orleans stuck with Dalton, who beat the visiting Las Vegas Raiders 24-0 in Week 8. With WRs Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry missing on offense and CB Marshon Lattimore on defense, any win over the last month has been a blessing.
The Ravens, despite their record, could be much better.
Baltimore has had a double-digit lead in every game it has played to this point in the 2022 season. It has given up 3 of those in a losing fashion. While the defense is struggling to hold a lead, QB Lamar Jackson is doing his best to keep the offense going despite a litany of injuries.
