New Orleans Saints at Baltimore Ravens odds and lines: Ravens slight home favorites

Explaining the odds and lines for the 2021 NFL preseason opener for the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens.

The Baltimore Ravens play host to the New Orleans Saints Saturday at 7 p.m. ET at M&T Bank Stadium as both teams begin their 2021 preseason schedule. Below, we look at the Saints at Ravens odds and lines.

The Saints are beginning a new era without QB Drew Brees after the future Hall of Famer retired following the 2020 campaign. QBs Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston will battle this preseason to be his heir, while the team also used a fourth-round pick on QB Ian Book.

Former MVP QB Lamar Jackson remains at the helm of the Ravens offense, but he isn’t expected to see much, if any, time Saturday. QBs Trace McSorley and Tyler Huntley will battle to back him up in the regular season.
