Ravens 27, Vikings 20 “No one has blown out the Vikings this season. But the Ravens will be rested and eager to put their loss to the Bengals behind them. Their running game will come out of hiding against a porous Vikings front, and [Lamar] Jackson will mix in enough big strikes to get his team back on track.” |

Ravens 27, Vikings 23 “This feels like a spot where the Vikings play better than most people expect, yet find a way to lose painfully.” |

Ravens 31, Vikings 24 “The Vikings cannot get out of their own way in close games. Every contest has come down to one possession save for their thrashing of the Seahawks in Week 3. Minnesota lost to two previous AFC North opponents in the Bengals and Browns. The Ravens have the right way to exploit them after a bye with a running quarterback and dangerous downfield receivers.” |

Ravens 26, Vikings 23 “The Vikings looked lifeless on offense against the Cowboys and now face a Ravens defense that was shredded last time out. Can Kirk Cousins get it going? I think he does, but Lamar Jackson is even better. The Vikings will hang around.” |

Ravens 28, Vikings 21 “The Vikings three wins look like an outlier desperation win against the Seahawks, a miracle win over the Lions and an OT takedown of the Panthers. They just lost to Cooper Rush.” |

Ravens 30, Vikings 20 “Since taking over the Ravens starting QB job in 2018, Lamar Jackson has started 11 games against NFC teams and he has gone 11-0 in those games, which means I will be picking the Ravens in every game they play against an NFC team going forward until they actually lose one.” |

Ravens 31, Vikings 20 “Baltimore had last Sunday off. The Vikings lost to a backup quarterback.” |
| Chris Simms |
|
Ravens 31, Vikings 27 “I don’t think the Vikings will be able to run the ball against the Ravens. I think the Vikings’ pass game is too simple, so even if the Ravens’ pass defense isn’t what it was, it’s an easy team to break down that way. I have faith in the Ravens’ defensive coaches to do that.” |
