Ravens vs Vikings +4 O/U 48.5
- Ok, I know that you can throw away the stats when it comes to the Baltimore Ravens. The fact that they were missing Lamar & Roquan Smith is very hard to quantify.
- At the same time, we can’t forget that this Vikings team was also quite decimated by injuries to their Quarterback and a bunch of defense.
- I am not at all trying to say that JJ McCarthy should be compared to Lamar Jackson, but what I do know is that when the Ravens had Lamar during his first four weeks, we saw a lot of losses on the board.
- Is that Lamar’s fault? No, it was actually his defense that has failed them.
- This Ravens defense has been quite suspect over this whole season, and over their past two wins against the Bears and the Dolphins, this Ravens team has been out-gained in Yards.
- I think that the Vikings are live this game with linebackers like Blake Cashman in the middle, and Andrew Van Ginkel in the pass rush. Brian Flores will have this defense who ranks 11th in EPA per play, even with all of the injuries, ready to roll in this big game.
- The pass catchers for the Vikings are better than what the Ravens have. The Ravens defense ranks a low 25th in EPA. Take the Queens.
Vikings +4 – 2 stars
