The Ravens play the Saints on this beautiful Monday Night and we found a spot that we both like. The Ravens vs. Saints game has the Ravens favored by 1.5 points, mainly due to their injuries. Bateman is out for the year, Mark Andrews is out this week, and Dobbins + Edwards are out as well. Lamar Jackson has had teams with bad injury luck before, but can he push through with this many injuries tonight?

Let’s dig into the Saints a little bit. The Saints are 3-5 and coming off a shutout win vs. the Raiders. However, they have only beaten the Raiders, Seahawks, and Falcons this season. I didn't think I would end up saying that the Seahawks win was a win against a good team, but here we are. The Saints realistically haven’t beaten a top 10 team in this league this season and we don’t think that starts now.

Let’s dig into the fun stuff.

Andy Gregory Dalton is 6-19 in primetime games. We won’t even talk about his middle name being Gregory to add to that either. There is no way he can step up in this spot and beat Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens.

Lamar Demeatrice Jackson Jr. is 3-2 in Monday Night Football games. Jackson has a 123.0 QBR rating throwing for 12 touchdowns, zero interceptions with an 86% completion rating. This man simply owns MNF. In addition the Ravens also went and got defensive help trading for star middle linebacker Roquan Smith.

Andy Dalton is 1-4 vs. the Ravens since Lamar Jackson came into Baltimore. He has lost by an average of 7.25 PPG in those last 4. Andy Dalton has a passer rating of 78.3 with 4,507 yards, 25 touchdowns and 19 interceptions in 18 games versus the Ravens in his career. He has had a 56.8% completion % vs. Harbaugh and the Ravens.

Overall, the Ravens are a better team, have the better QB, and are just dealing with some injuries. We trust Lamar Jackson to get it done with the help of John Harbaugh who is 19-2 in primetime games in his career. Harbaugh has faced Dalton many times in his career since Dalton was on the Bengals for 9 years as a division rival.
