Minnesota Vikings (3-4) vs Baltimore Ravens (5-2), Sunday at 1 P.M. ET

Even though the Baltimore Ravens are coming off a huge loss to the Cincinnati Bengals before their bye week, they currently sit atop of the AFC North. Sitting at home only to come back with a division lead is always nice to have happen. Now the Ravens get ready to host the reeling Minnesota Vikings.

This should be an easy win for the home club. The Vikings are a below-average team that has holes across their lineup. They are not consistent enough to produce points and their defensive unit is suspect. They still need to keep retooling through the draft and free agency before they can compete.

With that said, these Vikings can cause issues throughout a game. If Kirk Cousins can stay out of the turnover column then they will be in this game. Their running attack is another nice wrinkle to this incoming team as their offense goes through Delvin Cook.

The Ravens should win this game with relative ease even though the Vikings could pose some issues. They’re below average but if their running game is going strong then they’ll kill off some clock and beat you. The biggest issue with the visiting Vikings is turnovers and a lack of consistency in 2021.
