In this article, we will formulate a NY Giants vs Baltimore Ravens Prediction for this NFL Week 15 game on Sunday, December 15th, at MetLife Stadium.

Ravens Look to Bounce Back

The Ravens are coming off a bye week, but in the last game against the Philadelphia Eagles, they struggled. The offense managed only 19 points and they ended up losing by six points. Lamar Jackson completed 23 of his 36 passes for 237 yards and two touchdowns. Even though he played well the offense just wasn’t good enough. 


The Ravens are averaging 29.5 points per game, while their defense is giving up 24.5 points per game. The offense is ranked third in the league, while the defense is ranked 13th. On the season, Jackson has thrown for 3,290 yards, 29 touchdowns, and three interceptions. No one has been able to slow down Derrick Henry, who has rushed for 1,407 yards and 13 touchdowns. Kyle Van Noy is dealing with a hamstring injury and is questionable for this game. 

Why the Ravens Will Beat the Giants

  • The Giants have lost each of their last eight games played on the East Coast.
  • The favorites have won each of the Ravens’ last 10 Week 15 games.
  • The Giants have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four December games as underdogs against AFC opponents.
  • The Ravens have covered the spread in each of their last four road games before a Division game.
  • The Ravens have won the first quarter in each of their last seven games as road favorites following a home loss.
  • The Ravens have won the first half in each of their last seven games as road favorites following a home loss.

Giants Need to Keep Losing

The Giants need to keep losing so they have a chance at the number one pick, and it wouldn’t be shocking in this game if they make some decisions to make that happen. The Giants come into this game with a 2-11 record overall and they are coming off a loss in the last game against the Saints. The Giants scored 11 points and they ended up losing by three points. Drew Lock completed 21 of his 49 passes for 227 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. Lock was also the top rusher, finishing with five carries for 59 yards. The Giants are averaging 14.9 points, while their defense is giving up 22.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 32nd in the league while the defense is ranked 16th. 

NY Giants vs Baltimore Ravens Prediction

The Giants have zero reason to be even competitive in this game, and that is going to be the difference here. The Ravens are averaging 29.5 points per game and their offense is going to have no issue running up the score. Drew Lock isn’t going to be good enough and the Giants offense is going to be awful here. This game is going to be a comfortable victory for the Ravens. Back the Ravens on the puck line to cash here.
