Ravens vs Vikings Prediction
The current betting odds have the Vikings listed as a 4.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Vikings haven't looked great in their games this season with their 4-4 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the NFC North in a competitive division. They are off a big 27-24 win over the Lions in their last one though and they are still in a good position to make a run at the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Ravens haven't looked great in their games this season with their 3-5 record overall, but that record has them right near the top of the AFC North. They had a terrible start to the season going 1-5, but they came out of their bye week with a big win and have some momentum now with 2 wins in a row. They are off a 28-6 win over the Dolphins in their last one and even beat the Bears 30-16 the week before without Lamar Jackson playing, but they were also playing against 2 really bad defenses. The Vikings have a much better defense and they looked a lot better in their win against the Lions last week. JJ McCarthy is also back at QB for the Vikings and he hasn't been lighting up defenses, but he isn't making big mistakes and is doing enough to win games with the talent they have on that offense. The Vikings have the defense to keep this Ravens offense at bay while the Vikings offense does enough to keep this a close game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Vikings to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“We had two games that we needed to win in four days. And they were absolute must-wins. And for our guys to step up the way they did ... is commendable. And it just means we’re two games under .500. That’s all it means. But we’re two games under .500, right? We were four games under .500.” - John Harbaugh after his team’s win against the Dolphins in their last game.
“J.J. made one of the best throws of the day when we absolutely needed it.” - Kevin O’Connell after his team’s win against the Lions in their last game.
