Ravens vs Giants Prediction
The current betting odds have the Ravens listed as a 14.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Ravens have looked good in their games this season with their 8-5 record overall which has them in 2nd place of the AFC North and fighting for a Wild Card spot. They are still in the division race with the Pittsburgh Steelers though and they are still trying to pull ahead. They are coming off a home loss to the Eagles in their last one, but they will be looking to bounce back from that loss and are also coming out of their bye week so they have had extra time to prepare for this game. Meanwhile, the Giants have looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-11 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the NFC East with the worst record in the entire NFL. They have already been eliminated from the playoffs and the only thing they can look to now is a high draft pick for a fresh start next season. They are coming off a tight loss in their last one to the Saints and they have looked terrible on their home field with their 0-7 home record. The team is a disaster right now and the offense has struggled to put up points in all of their games this season, only putting up 11 points last week. The Ravens have a really strong offense that is going to put up a ton of points in this game and the Giants won't be able to keep up here. The Ravens won't be overlooking the Giants either since they are coming out of their bye week and lost their last game so this is a great opportunity for a get right game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Ravens to cover the spread in this game.
