4. Home: New York Giants

Two Super Bowl MVPs lined up under center the last time the Giants and the Ravens played each other. It was Week 6 of the 2016 season, and the Flacco-led Ravens dropped the game on the road to Eli Manning’s Giants.

This time one quarterback will have a regular-season MVP on his mantle, while the other signal-caller looks to build off a solid rookie season. Combined, the quarterbacks will have three years of experience heading into this game.

Playing at home won’t be easy for the Ravens in 2020. The home opponent slate is tough, featuring games against the Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys and Tennessee Titans. All of those teams will be playing for playoff spots next season.

Therefore, the Ravens cannot let this game against the Giants slip. Losing a game to an opponent like this at home could be very damaging to a record.

This is something the Ravens were very good at last year. Of course, losing two games all regular season is always great. But the team constantly showed up and handled business against the lesser opponents.

That is a testament to good coaching, and Harbaugh has been able to keep his group focused for every game.
