2016 Record: 19-7


The pick:


Baltimore +125 over Giants


So many issues surrounding the Giants from their new head coach to their prima donna receiver to their lackluster aging QB to their non-existent O-Line to their underachieving defense and on and on and on and on.

I don't know how anyone can lay points with the Giants over anyone but the Browns.

The Ravens are coming off two crushing losses at home, first to the Raiders and then to the Redskins where they did everything possible to lose this game.

They'll be happy to go on the road where the pressure comes off of them to feast on a Giants team in total disarray.

Tom Coughlin is long gone and with him goes the minimum standards to hunker down and win a game like this. McAdoo is in over his head here and doesn't have the answers against a team that doesn't want to see it's season spiral out of control.

Geeez, I'm not so sure about this one yet Scal.  Our run D is better than it has been in the last 4 years.  Ravens aren't exactly explosive through the air.  I realize we look horrible and the O is not clicking but at home I kind of think we figure it out this week.  Especially with obj finally grabbing 6 and joking around with the net kiss.  I could see the gmen winning this one and looking impressive doing so.  3-3 and they move ahead feeling pretty good.

I could see the Ravens' offense responding well to the Trestman firing.

The Giants are due, and this is the one they are going to take me to the pay window on. I have watched Baltimore the past two weeks and very unimpressed. I have never been a fan of Flunko and I am of the belief that the Giants pass rushers will make life very difficult for him and we will see a few turnovers by Flunko because of the pass rush.

Scal,

the Giants game plan, bends, and stretches into oblivion every week with NO results...your assessment is correct, "McAdoo is in wayyyy over his head, with no relieve in sight...take the Ravens, take the points...@ +125 the ML has no significant value to the capper at large. 'Harbough out coaches McAdoo' no home field advantage here.

Nice!!! I always love when I see a post from you. Would you take the points @-110 or just the money line?

Love the Giants here coming off of 2 extremely tough prime time road games, everyone thinks they're in disarray. Eli and the offense will breakout back at home this week against a mediocre Ravens team. Giants D has actually played great this season, keeping them in all the games.

Love it Scal.

On a +3 line the ML should be in the +130 to +140 range. The books opening it at +125 tells us something

the play is Balt... As a raven fan I never bet them but the firing of trestman will help a lot. Morningwhig is a good OC .. bad head coach but a long time ally of Harbaugh. From what I have been reading locally expect a big change to the Balt O

Sorry I like the Giants, and they're a team I have only played against so far this year. The Ravens stink but it didn't start to show until recently. Meanwhile IMO It's a bit late to be jumping on the go against the Giants bandwagon.

NFL teams coming home off back to back road games usually play well. I think the Giants weapons at WR will be plenty for Baltimore to handle as they have Sterling Shepherd and Cruz in addition to Beckham. They didn't do too bad against GB who were at home off a bye.

You usually have good picks, but I disagree here.

A team due to win?
What Giant pass rush?

I don't know how to play this game because the Ravens should be adjusting their offense.  I sincerely hope those idiots realize throwing the ball about 40 to 50 times a game is unlikely to win consistently with Joe Flacco, who really is a guy that goes for the big plays instead of making the safe passes.  It's even more baffling because their defense has played well and they've gotten the run game going at times even with the sparse run calls. 

They could easily control games better if they'd run an offense with more balance.  I suspect they'll either show the improvement this weekend or you'll see some mistakes from the change in style.

Bears lost back to back prime time games then covered the game after against the Lions. Giants lost back to back prime time games as well.

Scal, you don't think the Giants follow suit?

Rumor is Flacco hurt his shoulder in practice today.  Might wanna keep an eye on it...

i love Baltimore better as underdogs... however

not really liking the injury report. Marshall Yanda isnt planning to play, Rick Wagner is also banged up i'm not even sure if Ronnie Stanley is going to play either... but i think Harbs should let him play. that's 3 of their 5 O-line starters missing. CJ Mosley is also going to be out i believe on defense, no Steve Smith Sr either. 

Could be a close one, it's the New York Giants after all but this is a must win for the Ravens
Sip on that plus money honey!

I asked you a question, Chet. Maybe we should ask your master, since you can't speak for yourself.
