Ravens vs. Falcons Odds
Game Preview
Chances of not seeing injured Lamar Jackson in Week 5 are massive, so backup QB Tyler Huntley should be ready to jump in. He’s no stranger to these situations and knows the system, but overall, this will be a major blow to the Ravens’ offense.
All eyes will be on RB Derrick Henry, who already notched 7 touchdowns this year. If Lamar skips this event, Henry will get a massive share of reps, and we expect to see him take the football at least 20 times.
Penix Jr. is back, and the Falcons are in turbo mode now. They’ve scored 80 points since he returned, beating the Packers 35-14 and the Saints 45-24, both on the road. Now, that’s enough for us to see the Falcons as the No .1 candidate to win the NFC South.
A win over the Saints wasn’t because of Penix Jr., but because of the Robinson RBs. Bijan had 145 yards for 2 TDs, while Brian had 62 but 3 scores. Bijan has already run for 494 yards this year, and his stocks for the OPOY award are up.
Ravens vs. Falcons Predictions
No matter whether Lamar plays or not, we are backing the hosts to win. They have excellent momentum, are coming home, and face a rival whose main star is dealing with an injury. Even if Lamar is 100% fit, we are still behind the Falcons.
