MINTY BETS: Probably to no one's surprise, the Ravens beat up the Saints.
- Shocking.
MINTY BETS: Lamar Jackson threw his 100th career passing touchdown to tight end Isaiah Likely. Kenny and Drake rushed for a pair of touchdowns. And the Ravens defense kept Andy Dalton and Alvin Kamara mostly in check. You know the Ravens will take a nice business as usual win any day.
