Week 12: @ New Orleans Saints
Earlier in the season, nobody would have thought that the Ravens, or few teams for that matter, could travel to New Orleans and steal a win. The dome has long been a tough place to play, and the odds of victory there have long been in favor of the Saints.
But this year has been very different as the Saints have largely struggled. In fact, three of the team’s four wins have come against teams with losing records. The defense has struggled, particularly in the fourth quarter, and Drew Brees has been uncharacteristically turning the ball over a lot.
The problem here is that the Ravens’ patchwork secondary must contain the Saints’ still prolific passing attack and all world tight end Jimmy Graham. If the Saints get hot and bust out some big plays, can the Ravens keep pace? We have our doubts.
Prediction: Loss
