Ravens at Saints

The Saints have lost two straight at home and will be looking to prevent it from becoming a third.  The Ravens are coming off a bye week and they should be rested and prepared for Drew Brees and the Saints offense.  The Saints will improve on the week 11 loss to the Bengals and will put more points on the board.

However, I think the Ravens are the more complete team and will come out motivated to stay in the AFC North race.  Their defense will hold the Saints down just enough to give them the tough win on the road.

Winner:  Ravens

Score prediction:       24-23  Ravens   

Points spread:      Saints -3

Over/under:  50.5 – Over
