Baltimore Ravens vs. Minnesota Vikings Prediction
I’m on the Vikings in this one. I’m not sold on Minnesota season long, but I think with more experience going on in their QB2 battle behind Kyler Murray, I think they show up here. The Eagles couldn’t break through against Baltimore’s defense which admittedly looked really good depth-wise, but I think Minnesota does enough at home to get it done here. Give me the Vikings.
