The Baltimore Ravens will visit the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday for the 8th meeting of the two teams. Both teams will be playing their 2nd game with the QB1 back in action. The Ravens easily cruised against the Miami Dolphins 28-6 on Thursday Night Football. The Vikings had a tougher task going on the road to face the Detroit Lions. We all know they came out victorious 27-24.
Series Record: 3-4
Home Record: 2-0
Streak: L1
The last time these two faced off at US Bank Stadium was 2017 when the teams combined for nine field goals, second-most in NFL history. There is a strange history of these two teams meeting for crazy endings. Also, every season the Vikings win against the Ravens (‘98, ‘09, & ,‘17), they have gone to the NFC Championship game. However, every season the Vikings lost against the Ravens (’01, ‘05, ‘13, & ‘21), they have fired their coach. KOC needs to be locked in this week.
Last week I predicted a loss for the Vikings. This week I’ll swing the other way and hope the Vikings don’t. I have the Vikings winning and the under 49.5. The Vikings defense looked different last week. They are energized now that Cashman and Van Ginkel are back in action. The DL played like the team had hoped when they signed Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave. If the Vikings can stop the run, they might have some success. The offense will be inconsistent, as it has been the first three games with McCarthy. McCarthy always seems to make enough plays to keep them in it. If it’s close at the end, I’m taking the guys in purple. It’s in Minnesota and the Vikings will remain unbeaten at home against the Ravens. Vikings 27 – Ravens 21
