Ravens open as heavy favorites in potential Week 2 trap game vs. Saints
Fresh off a 41-23 road triumph against the Indianapolis Colts to kick off their 2026 campaign, the Baltimore Ravens have been established as 8.5-point favorites for their upcoming Week 2 home clash with the New Orleans Saints. Jesse Minter marked his head coaching debut with a decisive win, guiding Baltimore's attack to exceed 500 total yards while the defense forced two turnovers against quarterback Daniel Jones.
Despite the offensive surge and veteran tight end Mark Andrews urging caution against complacency, safety Kyle Hamilton assessed the defensive outing critically, and running back Derrick Henry noted that the offensive unit still possesses untapped potential.
Baltimore now redirects its attention toward avoiding a letdown against New Orleans while navigating physical setbacks. The receiver corps faces health questions following injuries sustained by Zay Flowers and Ja'Kobi Lane during the opener, though the franchise also received a positive update regarding a 98 million dollar contract situation heading into the matchup.
