The Arizona Republic: Ravens 30, Saints 20
Jeremy Cluff writes: "The Saints impressed in their near-comeback against the Lions, but a win over Lamar Jackson and the Ravens in Baltimore would really impress us.
We don't see it happening."
Bookies.com: Bet the Saints with the points vs Ravens
Bill Speros writes: "The Saints emptied the tank Sunday in a gut-wrenching 31-30 overtime loss at Detroit. Tyler Shough threw for 410 yards and tossed 3 TDs and 2 picks as New Orleans erased a 21-point deficit, only to fall short on a 2-point try in overtime. The Ravens rolled the Colts at Indy 41-23. Lamar Jackson (325 yards passing) and Derrick Henry (144 yards rushing, 3 TDs) were in MVP form. But 8.5 points is mispriced for Week 2 given the strengths on defense."

SB Nation: Ravens 27, Saints 10
Nikhil Mehta writes: "Unless Tyler Shough takes a massive second-year leap, this should be the Ravens’ easiest matchup all year. The Saints offense is coming together nicely, but will they be ready for Minter’s defense this early in the season? Their defense, meanwhile, is very much a work in progress. This could be a blowout."
