1. The game will be won by a field goal

The New Orleans Saints are good. The Baltimore Ravens are good. It’s hard to ignore the facts here as both have started the season off brilliantly. Seeing the two face off will be a real treat for both fan bases alike. As noted above, a win or loss could end up determining their fate for the rest of the season.

With such high stakes, this prediction is a little bit off-the-wall. Regardless, I predict that the game will be won by the field goal. Basically, the two teams will be within three points of beating each other and it’s true. The Saints and Ravens have both had close games this year and I see the same thing happening in Week 7.

The Ravens have one of the best kickers in the league with Justin Tucker. He’s had a few misses this season but has otherwise been incredible. As for the Saints, they have Wil Lutz who is in his third year. Thus far, Lutz has only missed one field goal and only one extra point. The two are easily among the elite when it comes to kickers.

Between the two teams, there’s a lot of hype surrounding them. The Saints have had time to rest and regroup. That’s not to say the Ravens won’t put up a good fight because they will. The Saints will fight for the win, but ultimately I see the Ravens taking it home.
