Mackenzie Salmon breaks down the biggest NFL storylines from Week 14.
Sports Seriously
While the New York Giants’ season has been nothing but miserable, they were at least finally able to realize that they needed to move on from quarterback Daniel Jones.
Jones’ absence has not helped the team in the win-loss column though, as former backups Tommy DeVito and Drew Lock have not been much of a step up from Jones.
This week, they’ll get a very tough test attempting to keep up with a potent Baltimore Ravens offense, featuring two MVP candidates in running back Derrick Henry and quarterback Lamar Jackson. On paper, this will be a blowout, but we’ve seen crazier things happen.
Here are our experts’ predictions for this Week 15 showdown.

I wouldn’t feel comfortable backing Baltimore with a line this big. That said, I don’t see the Giants coming close to keeping pace with the Ravens.
The Week 14 bye came at a good time for the Ravens. Did they address their defensive issues and Justin Tucker’s kicking woes during the break? Those two areas of weakness might prevent Baltimore from going where they want to go.
Fresh off a bye, the Ravens get things back on track with a rout of the Giants.
For as shaky as the Baltimore defense is, the unit shouldn’t have much trouble playing against a team as bad as the Giants. Maybe New York can keep it close for some time.
