Ravens vs. Falcons Preview for Sunday Night Football
The Baltimore Ravens are set to play against the Atlanta Falcons in a Week 5 Sunday Night Football matchup at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, kicking off at 8:20 p.m. ET. Both teams are currently on winning streaks, with the Ravens at 3-1, tied for the AFC North lead, and the Falcons at 2-2, sharing the NFC South lead.
Notably, the Ravens will be without quarterback Lamar Jackson due to an ankle injury. Initially favored by three points, the betting odds have shifted, making the Falcons a 3-point favorite, with an over/under set at 43.5 points. Atlanta's defense has been performing well, ranking eighth in the league by allowing an average of 313 total yards and 23 points per game.
Veteran Tyler Huntley will take over as the Ravens' quarterback in Jackson's absence. Running back Derrick Henry has been a key player for Baltimore, accumulating 374 rushing yards and seven touchdowns over four games. Expert Mike Tierney, who has a strong track record with NFL picks, is predicting a low-scoring game, leaning towards the Under for total points scored.
