The Baltimore Ravens will be coming off their bye when they host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.   

Here's everything you need to know about the NFL odds on Sunday's matchup between the Vikings and Ravens – the point spread, moneyline, total over/under and pick from our betting expert (with all NFL odds via FOX Bet).

MINNESOTA VIKINGS @ BALTIMORE RAVENS (1 p.m. ET Sunday, FOX)

Point spread: Ravens -5.5 (Ravens favored to win by more than 5.5 points, otherwise Vikings cover)
Moneyline: Ravens -250 favorites to win (bet $10 to win $14 total); Vikings +210 underdogs to win (bet $10 to win $31 total)
Total scoring over/under: 49.5 points scored by both teams combined

The Ravens, led by 2019 NFL MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson, square off against the Vikings and quarterback Kirk Cousins.

Jackson is fourth in the NFL in total offense with 2,318 yards and leads the NFL in rushing yards among quarterbacks (480) with two touchdowns. The signal-caller also leads the NFL in yards per rushing attempt (6.3) among all position players.

A key for the Vikings could be linebacker Eric Kendricks, who could be used as a "spy" to try to contain Jackson in the pocket.

The 3-4 Vikings are coming off a 20-16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The 5-2 Ravens are coming off a bye.

The bye could be a boost for Baltimore as wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring), running back Latavius Murray (ankle) and tight end Nick Boyle (knee) could return to action.

Watkins has missed the past three games, Murray missed the Ravens' previous game against the Cincinnati Bengals, a 41-17 loss Oct. 24, and Boyle has not played this season.

"My theory has always been, even good teams get embarrassed," FOX Sports' Colin Cowherd said. "Baltimore got humiliated by Cincinnati two weeks ago, and now they are off a bye. And, that is a united locker room."

This will be the first meeting between the teams since a 24-16 home win for the Vikings on Oct. 22, 2017.

Team Trends

Baltimore has the worst pass defense in the NFL, allowing a league-worst 296.1 passing yards per game.

The Ravens are 6-0 against the spread (ATS) in their past six home games against teams with a losing record.
