The New Orleans Saints visit the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday, with the Saints coming off a 0-1 start and the Ravens holding a perfect 1-0 record. Baltimore is favored by 7.5 points, meaning they need to win by at least eight points for a bet on them to pay off. The odds on the Ravens’ spread are -115, so you’d need to risk $115 to win $100. Meanwhile, the Saints are the underdogs with a +7.5 point spread at -105 odds, slightly better value for bettors.
Looking at the moneyline, the Ravens are heavy favorites at -395. This means a $395 bet would win you $100 if Baltimore pulls out the win outright. On the flip side, the Saints’ moneyline is +310, so a $100 wager would pay $310 if New Orleans pulls off the upset.
The game total is set at 46.5 points. Both the over and under are priced evenly at -110, so the sportsbook expects a moderately scoring game. Betting the over means you think both teams will combine for at least 47 points, while the under is a bet on a lower-scoring affair.
With the Ravens at home and off to a 1-0 start, the lines suggest they’re the stronger team. But the Saints getting a full touchdown plus half a point could be a tempting play if you believe they’ll keep it close. The total points line invites a close look at how these teams’ offenses and defenses might perform Sunday.
