New York Giants Team News
The New York Giants finished at 4-13 last season. After five weeks this year, they are 4-1 even though roster is almost the same as 12 months ago. However, a big change happened in leadership position. New head coach Brian Daboll drastically improved every segment of the game and woke up the “giant” who had been sleeping for a long time.
Last week, the Giants pulled off a huge surprise in London. Although trailing by 14 points in the first half, they made a big comeback and defeated the favored Green Bay Packers. Saquon Barkley is in great shape, while Daniel Jones looks better and better. The Giants are a well-run team that plays extremely intelligently without making too many technical mistakes. If they continue that way, they might be able to make the playoffs for the second time in ten years.
Against the Baltimore Ravens, the Giants will be underdogs. The key for them will be to win the battle at line of scrimmage and not allow the opponent what they do best, which is their running game. The extent to which they succeed in doing so will determine the outcome of this game.
Baltimore Ravens Team News
The Baltimore Ravens have shown a few different faces through first five weeks. Wins at road against the New England Patriots and the New York Jets confirmed their quality. However, tough losses against the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills were disturbing. They defeated the Cincinnati Bengals last week and now need to confirm that in New York.
Very important thing for the Ravens is that their defense works better than it did in first two weeks. They limited the Bengals to only 17 points, while against the Bills the defensive side was the better part of the team. Statistically speaking, Lamar Jackson is second best quarterback ever despite throwing five interceptions. This season is extremely important for him because he refused to extend contract and will do everything he can to further strengthen his status before next offseason.
Objectively speaking, the Ravens are more dominant team than the Giants. Their defense will surely limit the opponent’s offense to less than 20 points. The only question is how many points Jackson and his offense will put on scoreboard. The Giants defensive line is average, but defensive coordinator Wink Martindale will be extremely motivated against his former team.
H2H
Only once these two teams played against each other in last five years. That happened in December 2020 when the Ravens won 27-13 in Baltimore.

Cor’Dalle Flott, Tony Jefferson, Jason Pinnock, Kenny Golladay and Sterling Shepard are injured and won’t play for the New York Giants. Ben Cleveland, Justin Houston, Rashod Bateman, David Ojabo, Tyus Bowser and Gus Edwards are out for the Baltimore Ravens.
New York Giants vs. Baltimore Ravens Prediction
Almost everyone predicted that the Giants will have between four and seven wins this season. Already in week five, they have four wins. That speaks how much they surprised everyone, but the Ravens are simply a class above. Jackson and company will not allow what happened to the Green Bay Packers last week.
