NFL Week Six Preview: Baltimore Ravens vs. New York Giants
Prediction
The play of the Ravens defense over the season has masked how average the offense has looked so far. The team has moved on from former offensive coordinator Marc Trestman and places the keys to the unit in the hands of Marty Mornhinweg.

Moves made such as that usually takes a few weeks to get off the ground, especially with a Ravens offense that was in a funk beforehand while also dealing with an uncomfortable amount of injuries.
The Giants offense on the other hand has been stagnant also. Luckily for them, it’s all about getting on the same page with Manning and his receivers as well as try to squeeze some time of positive play from their offensive line.
The Ravens front seven will make things interesting against a mediocre Giants offensive line and their stout run defense will build a wall against a Giants run offense that has seen little life to this point of the season already.
The trouble is, the Ravens offense can’t make enough plays to aid their solid defense and if the offensive line for New York can keep Manning upright and allow Manning to connect with his receivers in the pass game, the Ravens simply can’t keep up in the scoring department.
This is a winnable game for the Giants against a home crowd that will be fired up. The Giants can use a little home cooking and will probably feast off that crowd against a Ravens team that is still trying to find some kind of footing on offense.
