The Ravens are playing some of their best football of the season as they make a push for a playoff spot and up next for Baltimore is the New York Giants. The Giants currently sit at 5-9 but they're still fighting for a division title in the dismal NFC East. While the record doesn't reflect it, the Giants fight hard against every opponent and they've surprised a few, namely the Seattle Seahawks, who lost to the Giants 17 to 12 a couple weeks ago. Some Seattle defenders admitted they overlooked the Giants, something the Ravens can't afford to do as they fight for a AFC Wild Card spot.

Luckily for Baltimore, they have one of the hottest players in the league under center in Lamar Jackson, who's scored 10 TDs over the last 3 games. The Ravens margin for error is razor thin and Lamar has stepped up recently, playing like the MVP he was in 2019. Pat Leonard from the New York Daily News joined the Big Bad Morning Show on Wednesday to preview the Ravens matchup with the Giants and for Pat, Lamar is the reason the Ravens will be victorious on Sunday. Pat also goes in depth on the Giants' future at the QB position and gives his score prediction for Sunday's game.
