This game is just going to be a schedule-filler Ravens seem to be becoming more of a low-end playoff possibility lately, I'd like to see them head into post season, but I don't think it will happen this year, maybe next. The biggest problem that the Saints will encounter with the Ravens is how to get close enough to their end zone to score, to me it seems like the closer an opponent gets to scoring on the Ravens the harder they fight to keep their opponent away. I predict just a regular game with Saints: 28 to Ravens: 20.
