2. Mark Ingram rushes for 100+ yards

In Week 5, the Saints finally got back Mark Ingram and it shows. Ingram was suspended for the first four games after testing positive for PEDs. Even though Alvin Kamara did alright, his absence proved how much the team needs him. The Saints are better with a running back committee rather than just a singular back.

In his return, Ingram stole the show with only 53 rushing yards but he also finished the game with two rushing touchdowns and two receptions for 20 yards. With another week of rest, it’s time for Ingram to finally cement his place back in the offense and he’ll do so against the Ravens.

Despite the Ravens incredible defensive play, I predict Mark Ingram will run for at least 100 yards. Week 5 was just the start for Ingram and he’s going to fight for every yard. With the Saints having one of the best o-lines in football, it’s not going to be hard.

The true matchup will be if the Saints O-line and the Ravens defense, but I see Mark Ingram being the one to reap the benefits. With Boom and Zoom back together, it was only a matter of time before Ingram reprised his role. That’s not to say Kamara will be left behind, but Ingram is a tough runner, so he’ll be prone to get more yards and touchdowns.
