The Minnesota Vikings will host the Baltimore Ravens for a Week 10 clash between two exciting teams. The Vikings come intro this matchup, after pulling off a very impressive win against the Detroit Lions, thanks to their QB J.J. McCarthy’s stellar performance, in his first game back from the injury. The Vikings are 4-4 for the season and are at the bottom of their division, but are a threat to get a win against any team in the NFL, due to their explosive offense.
Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens are coming into this matchup with a 3-5 record, and it will be Lamar Jackson’s second game since he returned from his hamstring injury. The Ravens have surprising fallen off the radar this season, and are two games below .500. They are already back to second position in the AFC North, but are still 4 games behind the Pittsburgh Steelers. With most of their roster healthy, we expect the Ravens to get to the top of the division yet again, with this game being an important one in their schedule.
| Recommended Bets | Fanduel | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|
| Derrick Henry anytime TD scorer | -140 | -150 |
| Justin Jefferson anytime TD scorer | +120 | +125 |
| Total TDs over 5.5 | -126 | -110 |
Derrick Henry is a threat to score a touchdown at any given moment as he’s quietly having a great season and the only reason we aren’t talking about him more, is because of the Ravens’ record this season. In Lamar Jackson’s return game, Henry notched 119 yards with no TDs, but helped his team gain yardage. Looking at the Vikings’ 20th ranked scoring rushing defense, we expect Henry to get at least on TD.
Justin Jefferson can get a TD at any given moment as the Ravens’ pass defense is ranked 28th in the league, and their scoring defense at 23rd, making them one of the worst teams defensively this season. He’s also J.J. McCarthy’s primary target and just looking at the sheer volume of targets for him, we expect him to get at least a TD.
Both teams are vulnerable defensively, with the Vikings ranking 8th in passing defense, but 20th in rushing and scoring defense. And the Ravens ranking 28th in passing defense, 24th in the scoring defense, and 21st in rushing defense. Looking at these teams’ defense and the explosive offensive talent, we expect the game to cross the 5.5 passing TDs.
We expect the Ravens to take home the victory, despite the Vikings‘ home field advantage. The Vikings are a better defensive team and are explosive offensively, however, they have been inconsistent this season and we do not know what to expect from this team. Meanwhile, the Ravens have most of their players back in the lineup and the Ravens’ rushing game is uncontainable with Henry and Jackson leading.
Prediction: Ravens win the game 27-21
