Ravens vs Vikings Prediction and Pick, Week 10

This matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings comes at a crucial time for both teams, with each looking to reestablish consistency and identity heading into the heart of the season. Historically, these teams haven’t met often, but the matchups have been competitive, with the last meeting in 2021 going to Baltimore in an overtime thriller, 34-31. This year, both squads come into the game with noticeable flaws but also pockets of strength that could easily swing the outcome depending on execution. Baltimore has struggled recently, dropping four of its last five, and their offense has looked sluggish at times, particularly when forced to rely on the passing game. On the other side, Minnesota has seen a similar rollercoaster, alternating impressive wins with concerning losses as they search for stability on both sides of the ball. This makes the matchup especially interesting: two teams with playoff aspirations but uneven performance trends, each hoping that this is the game where things finally begin to click in their favor. The chess match here will revolve around whether Baltimore can establish their run game and control pace, or whether Minnesota can exploit Baltimore’s defensive vulnerabilities, particularly in the secondary.

For Baltimore, the challenge begins with offensive identity. The Ravens are averaging 24.0 points per game, ranking middle-of-the-pack in scoring, but the imbalance in their attack is glaring. Their passing offense sits near the bottom of the league, averaging just 183 yards per game, while the run game remains their core strength at 126.17 yards per contest. They are top-two in yards per rush at 5.33, but their low number of total plays per game (31st in the league) limits their ability to wear teams down the way they have in past seasons. The Ravens are also losing battles in possession time, sitting 28th in time of possession, which only puts more stress on a defense that has recently struggled to limit opponent scoring. Turnovers have also been an issue, particularly fumbles, ranking near the bottom of the league in ball security. If Baltimore wants to regain footing, they will need to lean heavily on the run early and often, protect possessions, shorten the game, and avoid asking their passing attack to win it in high-leverage moments. The good news is Minnesota’s defense gives up over 130 rushing yards per game, making this a clear opportunity for Baltimore to dictate rhythm and tempo if they execute efficiently.

Minnesota enters this matchup with a more balanced profile, though not necessarily a more consistent one. The Vikings average 22.14 points per game and have shown the ability to explode offensively when their passing game finds rhythm, as seen in the dominant 48-10 win over Cincinnati. However, the offense has struggled to sustain drives, ranking 28th in plays per game and producing just 93.86 rushing yards per outing — a weakness that makes their attack predictable at times. Their success in this matchup will hinge on whether they can capitalize on Baltimore’s struggling defense, which is currently allowing over 32 points per game and nearly 250 passing yards per contest. Minnesota has been competitive late in games, often hanging around even when trailing, and the fourth quarter scoring numbers reflect that resiliency. If the Vikings can generate explosive plays early and force Baltimore into a faster pace or a pass-first approach, the advantage shifts toward Minnesota. But if their offense gets stuck in neutral or becomes one-dimensional, Baltimore’s ground control style can slowly drain the clock and the momentum right along with it.
