NFL Pick Of The Day – Ravens @ Patriots – Who Covers The Spread
Sunday, October 4th, 2009WOW! What a heater we are on. Yesterday a 3-0 College Football Saturday as we gave our members USC-4, Miami +7 and Oregon -34. So we are now 22-4 against the spread in our last 26. Today we are giving our members two (2) plays in the NFL. The focus of this preview is the play on our 1:00pm game between the Baltimore Ravens and the New England Patriots. Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Patriots as 1.5-point home favorites with a total of 45.
This is a weird line, isn’t it? The boys at the Las Vegas Hilton tried to come out with the right line by opening at NE -3, but the betting public have jumped on the Ravens and chased the line down to NE -1. Are the Ravens the newest “Elite” of the NFL? Maybe, but who have they played this year? They opened the season by beating KC at home easily, 38-24, laying 13. Then they came out on top of a hard fought road battle in San Diego 31-26. Most recently they crushed the poor Cleveland Browns 34-3 as a 14-point road favorite. Now they head into Foxborough to face a team whose quarterback is getting sharper and healthier every week. It will be interesting to see how they handle the rest of their schedule. They only have 3 “soft” spots left: Cleveland, Detroit & Oakland.
It is interesting to note that the Ravens haven’t lost a game this season including a pre-season sweep. As a matter of fact they haven’t lost since Pittsburgh knocked them out of the playoffs in the AFC championship game; that’s 7 in a row. Also note that the Ravens gave up 26 & 24 to the Chargers and Chiefs. So that begs the question of which Baltimore defense will show up today; and can Joe Flacco and his offense continue to score at the rate of 34 ppg? I guess we will find out today at 1pm on CBS.
