Ravens vs Falcons Prediction

The current betting odds have the Falcons listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Falcons haven't looked great in their games this season with their 2-2 record overall, but that record has them right near the top of the NFC South. They haven't looked great on their home field though with their 0-1 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Ravens have looked good in their games this season with their 3-1 record overall which has them right near the top of the AFC North. They have been a good road team too with their 1-0 road record this year. The Ravens are coming off a 24-18 win over the Titans and they have had a good start to the season with their new head coach, but they have still had some really close calls against bad teams and even blew a big lead to lose at home to the Saints. The offense has looked great, but the defense has been a big issue still and now the offense could have some trouble with Lamar Jackson possibly missing this game. The Ravens also have other key players on offense who are banged up too, so they aren't going to be 100% in this one. The Falcons had a terrible start to the season and looked like one of the worst teams in the NFL after 2 games, but they also had no real QB in those games. Now they have won 2 games in a row since Penix has returned and they have been putting up a ton of points with one of the best RB's in the NFL. They are coming off a 45-24 win over the Saints in their last one and they have a ton of momentum on their side with this offense rolling. This is going to be a really tough offense for this Ravens defense to stop and the Falcons defense has looked a lot better lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Falcons to cover the spread in this game. 

Ravens Falcons Prediction:  Our NFL Pick for Sunday, October 11, 2026 (8:20 pm ET start time) is Falcons 24 Ravens 20.
