NFL.com Game Preview ESPN Game Preview Saints vs. Ravens | Week 7 Preview (2:35) Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks preview the Saints at Ravens Week 7 matchup. Ultimate Game Previews: Saints at Ravens (2:42) Prisco and Quinn Previewing the Saints and Ravens in Week 7. Unstoppable Force Saints Face Immovable Object Ravens We’re about to enter Week 7 and the Baltimore Ravens defense has not allowed a second-half touchdown this season. The same defense just set a single-game franchise record with 11 sacks of poor Marcus Mariota. With the 21-0 shutout win over the Titans, the Ravens improved to 4-2 straight up and against the spread. Their Week 7 opponent, New Orleans, is coming off its bye. The Saints are 7-3 straight up and 8-2 against the spread in their last 10 games after the bye, but just 3-7 SU and 5-5 ATS when playing on the road after the bye. Baltimore opened as a 2-point home favorite, but that has grown to BAL -2.5 as bettors believe the Ravens defense can slow the Saints. New Orleans’ moneyline is +114 and the point total is 50.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 New Orleans Saints vs. Baltimore Ravens Live Score and Stats - October 21, 2018 Gametracker A classic matchup between the NFL's top-ranked defense and one of the league's best offenses is set for Sunday when the Baltimore Ravens face the New Orleans Saints at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. The Ravens (4-2), who boast the No. 1 defense in the league, are the only remaining team that Saints quarterback Drew Brees has not beaten during his 18-year career and Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh wants to keep it that way. Brees passed Peyton Manning to establish the NFL record for most career passing yards in a Week 5 victory over the Washington Redskins. He has not thrown an interception in his last six regular-season games, the longest such streak of his career, which covers 232 passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEraBills Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 A win will get the Raven's monkey off of Brees' back. It's the one team in the league he's never beaten in his entire career. I think it'll be a really fun game. The Ravens struggled to stop the run vs Cleveland because Pierce was out and Joe Flacco showed who he was by only putting up 9 points. 8 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: These are all better games.

They've played 4 times in 15 years. That's not much of a monkey. Edited October 18, 2018 by Mr. WEO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I fully expect the NO offense to be too much for the Baltimore defense. Brees and the Saints will put up 30+ winning by at least 2 scores. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 NFL Week 7 game picks: Chiefs over Bengals; Saints top Ravens New Orleans Saints 24, Baltimore Ravens 20 4:05 p.m. ET (FOX) | M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore) Fantastic matchup in Baltimore, with Drew Brees and the Saints' scary passing offense facing the most prolific pass rush in football. Perhaps the coolest aspect of the Ravens' sackapalooza last week in Nashville was that 10 of the 11 sacks came on blitzes. Only three other teams (Green Bay, Arizona and Dallas) have compiled 10-plus sacks on blitzes all season. Marcus Mariota drowned in the pocket before ever identifying where those guys were coming from, or who dunked him. That level of confusion won't be as easy to manufacture against Brees. Sean Payton definitely has his work cut out for him, yet an oversimplified solution would be to use his running backs -- particularly Alvin Kamara -- more than normal. Move those LBs out of the gaps and force them to play in space. Establishing Mark Ingram on the ground early will also force the pass rushers to hesitate.

Nor am I but thats what makes it so interesting. Can NE score against a good Defense in Soldier field (if they still call it that) ? Will Khalil Mack sack Brady? Did the light finally turn on for Mitch? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
