The Baltimore Ravens continue their trend this season of alternating losses with wins as they followed up a 23-20 loss in Week 4 to the Buffalo Bills with a 19-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5, also at home. Meanwhile, the New York Giants are on a high after snatching a victory across the pond, having defeated Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers in London last Sunday, 27-22. Check out our preview of this Ravens vs Giants game in Week 6 of the 2022 NFL regular season.
Lamar Jackson and the Ravens ran all over Cincy to gain a ton of yards in Week 5. Baltimore was not able to score on the ground but they burned rubber for 155 rushing yards on 28 carries. Jackson passed for 174 yards on 19/22 completions (1 TD, 1 INT), with his lone touchdown toss caught by star tight end Mark Andrews, who now has scored three touchdowns in three games. Jackson’s high ceiling every week and Andrews are huge threats for New York, which had just allowed a tight end to score in Week 5.
The Ravens are 5-4-1 against the spread in their last 10 games overall.
The Giants are surprisingly 4-1 after five games this season. Brian Daboll is clearly having a big impact on the Giants. But Saquon Barkley’s re-emergence as a lethal offensive weapon can’t be understated when speaking of the Giants’ success. Barkley rushed for 70 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries, while also coming up with 36 rushing yards on three receptions. Daniel Jones was not able to score a touchdown against the Packers, but he was able to do his job in leading the Giants into punctuating drives with scores. The confidence of the Giants are getting scarier for the rest of the league.
The Giants are 4-1 against the spread in their last five games overall.
