New Orleans hasn\u2019t had a tough preseason, but they\u2019ve picked up wins over the Rams (26-24), Titans (31-24) and Colts (23-17).<\/p>\n On offense, the Saints should have the QB edge while the Ravens will have an edge in rushing. I\u2019ve been impressed with Ryan Griffin who has completed 67.3% of his passes (37\/55) for 404 yards and 3 TD\u2019s.<\/p>\n Luke McCown (22\/40 for 211 Yards & 2 TD\u2019s) has also looked good and will get some snaps. Tyrod Taylor (25\/38 for 240 Yards & 2 TD\u2019s) is playing well for Baltimore, but the Ravens haven\u2019t passed much. The Ravens are averaging 4.4 YPC while the Saints are averaging 4.2 YPC. Mark Ingram has looked in mid-season form during the preseason. Ingram has 21 carries for 148 yards (7.0 YPC) and 1 TD.<\/p>\n Rob Ryan\u2019s defense has put lots of pressure on the QB (11 Sacks) and forced turnovers (+5 TO Margin), but they\u2019re allowing 133.3 RYPG and 249.3 PYPG. That\u2019ll have to improve by the regular season.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve already seen the Ravens o-line struggle, as they\u2019ve given up 9 sacks this preseason. Taylor has been sacked 5 times and the Saints should be able to get pressure on him and force him into mistakes.<\/p>\n Baltimore has been great at stopping the run (90.0 RYPG) and the pass (174.3 PYPG). Rookie C.J Mosley has looked great during the preseason and the Ravens have displayed their defensive depth.<\/p>\n Free NFL Pick: Ravens vs. Saints<\/b> Both teams are going to be happy with the way the preseason has gone. Flacco and Brees both looked good in limited action, but now it\u2019s time to analyze the depth players before the final cut.<\/p>\n Baltimore has a lot of depth and their defense has been much stronger than the Saints. New Orleans is going to have a tough time running the football and I\u2019m not confident in Griffin and McCown.<\/p>\n They\u2019ve both played well, but the Ravens secondary will be the toughest that they\u2019ve had to face during the preseason. I look for Baltimore to run the football and close out the preseason undefeated.<\/p>\n\n

\nTaylor also has 100 rushing yards on 12 carries and can hurt teams with his feet. Baltimore as a team has rushed for an average of 156.7 RYPG with Rice, Pierce, Forsett and Taliaferro all playing well.<\/p>\nPreseason NFL Gambling Trends:<\/h3>\n
