Here’s how The Baltimore Sun sports activities workers views the result of Sunday’s Week 6 recreation between the Ravens and New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey:
Jonas Shaffer, reporter
Ravens 24, Giants 20: The recreation’s most talked-about subplot is how a lot of the kitchen sink Don “Wink” Martindale will throw at Lamar Jackson. The recreation’s most necessary subplot is likely to be how a lot consideration the Ravens dedicate to Saquon Barkley — and the way nicely they will sort out him. Considering the Giants’ accidents, the Ravens ought to have the sting in all three phases. But the Giants are unconventional sufficient {that a} win gained’t come simply.
Mike Preston, columnist
Ravens 28, Giants, 21: The Giants are a scrappy bunch however they solely have a working offense, which the Ravens will shut down. New York defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale will trigger issues for quarterback Lamar Jackson, however not sufficient to forestall a Ravens victory. The Giants actually aren’t an excellent soccer crew but; extra pretenders than contenders.
Childs Walker, reporter
Ravens 27, Giants 19: There are two important plots right here: Will Lamar Jackson punish Don “Wink” Martindale’s blitzes and can Saquon Barkley and Daniel Jones run throughout a gentle Baltimore run protection? These will make for compelling soccer, however the Ravens have extra paths to victory and won’t let this turn out to be a lure recreation in opposition to an opponent that performed in London final Sunday.
Ryan McFadden, reporter
Ravens 28, Giants 20: The Ravens made strides Sunday night time, containing Joe Burrow and the Bengals’ proficient receivers. I’m anticipating the secondary to proceed their robust play, particularly in opposition to Daniel Jones. It’s exhausting to ascertain a situation the place the Ravens utterly neutralize Saquon Barkley, who appears to be like each bit just like the participant he was earlier than tearing his ACL. As lengthy because the Ravens can include him to a point, I feel Lamar Jackson and the offense will do sufficient to drag out a victory and head into their divisional matchup in opposition to the Browns subsequent week with a ton of momentum.
C.J. Doon, editor
Ravens 31, Giants 17: Don’t let the data idiot you. By Football Outsiders’ DVOA, a measure of general effectivity, the Giants are among the many worst 4-1 groups since 1981. Running again Saquon Barkley and quarterback Daniel Jones are a formidable mixture when wholesome, however the Giants don’t have some other playmakers who can threaten the Ravens’ protection. It’s going to take one other herculean effort from coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale and a banged-up Giants protection to maintain this recreation shut, and that’s asking an excessive amount of.
Tim Schwartz, editor
Ravens 28, Giants 17: Are the Giants for actual? I suppose we’ll discover out Sunday as they face their hardest check but. Don’t be fooled by their 4-1 report; New York owns wins in opposition to the Titans, Panthers and Bears (by a mixed 12 factors), however it deserves credit score for rallying to beat the Packers final week in London. The Ravens look primed to make a run as they proceed to get reinforcements, and working again J.Ok. Dobbins begins to look extra just like the model of himself we noticed in 2020. Slowing down working again Saquon Barkley, who’s second within the league in dashing, will probably be a tricky job for the Ravens. It will probably be fascinating to see the chess match between offensive coordinator Greg Roman and former Ravens defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale. Ultimately, although, expertise issues, and just one facet has Lamar Jackson.
