Expert prediction
Veteran sportswriter Mike Tierney, who is on a 32-14-1 run on Ravens picks, leans toward the under 39.5 total points. The under has hit in six of the last nine meetings since 2008, including the most recent matchup in December 2023 (a 23-7 Ravens win). Tierney also identifies a key X-factor that makes one side of the spread a strong play.
