The Baltimore Ravens (5-3) travel to the Caesars Superdome to face the New Orleans Saints (3-5) on Tuesday in a non-conference match-up. A tally of three wins from eight games leaves the New Orleans Saints with a divisional ranking of third in the NFC South, while the Baltimore Ravens are first in the AFC North after collecting five victories out of a possible eight.

The home side might just have the psychological edge, though, having won 17-14 in their last clash against the Baltimore Ravens.

After a run of back-to-back defeats, the New Orleans Saints got back to winning ways last week by beating the Las Vegas Raiders in a 24-0 shutout. They are 4-6 across their past 10 games and 2-3 in the last five at home.
The New Orleans Saints continue to put up decent numbers in offense, scoring 29.6 points in their last five matches. Considering their season average is 24.9 points, this suggests the offensive unit is consistent. The art of defending isn’t something the New Orleans Saints excel in though.

In 2021, the New Orleans Saints came home in second place in the NFC South standings after going 9-8 across all games. The hosts naturally hope to go even better this season.

The Baltimore Ravens got a nice surprise win by beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-22 in their last match, leaving them a 7-3 record for their last 10 matches and 4-1 in the last 5 on the road.
A virtuoso offense is the first step to winning games on the road, which the Baltimore Ravens have covered. In eight rounds this season, the offensive unit has put up a solid 26.0 points on average. On the other side of the ball, the defense has been relatively average in the league recently. The visitors have given up 21.2 points in the previous five outings, which is more or less on par with the 22.9 points they’ve allowed per game over the course of the regular season.
The Baltimore Ravens began the year backed as a threat for the AFC Championship. While it’s still early days, the hosts remain on course to reach this target. They hold the fourth seed in the AFC Conference and will seek to both maintain and improve their seeding as the regular season winds down.
