Denvers opponents this year are a combined 0-9. Their defense has looked great against bottom of the barrel teams with mostly non mobile quarterbacks. Will the ravens expose this?
On the other hand ravens are riding a high after that ridiculous buzzer beater. They also have to deal with the elevation. And they haven’t seen a strong defense yet. Quite frankly Lamar is good for 5 awful passes a game.
The way I see it this game is a pure coin flip. Will the ravens start off hot and prevent the Broncos from controlling the pace. Or will they come out flat?

This game is a mind boggler for me

leaning Ravens. they escaped with a win against a team they should'nt lose to. I think they will re-focus and tighten it up.
Broncos have had the fortune of playing the two worst teams in football and the Jags, doesn't get easier than that. they are a solid team, but not better than the Ravens.

My initial thought when I saw this line was Ravens win easily. The more I dig I don’t know. Last away game for ravens before 4 game home stand and historically ravens aren’t very good in Denver. Starting to think ravens will come out flat. Even though they haven’t played stiff competition I think the Broncos defense is the real deal. my feeling is the public will be on the ravens heavily

I think the Broncos are a lot better than what the public is giving them credit for at the moment.
They have no control of the schedule but they've dominated each of their three games. Good teams do that. Not-so-good teams finds ways to muck up those 'gimmie' weeks.
Thing is, the Broncs are rolling right now. Baltimore (expectedly) was hung over vs Detroit after the Chiefs game. But the public sees the Ravens as a good team who will bounce back (if you will) after the Lions game because they beat the Chiefs. What the public doesn't understand right now is that the Chiefs are not that good and beating them in 2021 isn't really a feat.
The eye test says the 3-0 Broncos played no one and the Ravens will sort themselves out. This mentality will have the smart bettors salivating.
Back to back road games for what will obviously be an even more gassed Ravens team + laying a small number with a 3-0 home team (one with an obvious home field advantage)? To good to pass up friends. My prediction? People will be talking about the 4-0 Broncos next week.
GL All!

I think that the Bronco D is legit. Ravens have not looked good on D. The Raiders went up and down the field. The game was in LV so Ill give that a pass. KC went up and down the field. They had a double digit lead in the 4th. 2 bad KC turnovers and Balty comes back. But the D was exposed again. KC exposes everyone defensively so I could give that a pass also. But Detroit? Detroit scored 16 points in the 2nd half. Detroit won that game. Miracle pass on 4th and 19. Miracle no call on a blatant delay of game. Miracle 66 yard FG that doinked over. The Balty O? The focus has been on the lack of RBs for the Ravens. The real issue is the O line. Villanueva is shuffling between spots. He is washed. Nothing left. Ronnie Staley is hurt. Playmakers? Marquise Brown has no hands. Sammy Watkins isnt much better. Bracket Mark Andrews and who does Jackson go to?

Total respect for punters who buy up spreads (ive argued buying up points to better than even money for decades) shows complete faith in the pick...but i just cant see that play here.
Denver might have had a bit of a cupcake schedule but the fact is they have looked competent and good doing it, Ravens, way tougher schedule but there is an argument to be had they should be 0-3 (with respect to detroit betters) with an unkinder bounce of the ball.
They have injuries all over the place and are on another road trip (baltimore to detroit to baltimore to denver to me sounds a long fekin way) and Broncos are a good home team, even when theyve had bad teams. ravens could be running on empty and altho might come out with a win could be in for a backdoor moosing.
Not relevant but being a dawgs fan i still have nightmares from the eighties where the broncos and mile high stadium are concerned, i had it christened the devils team home for a long time and that has never quite left me.
Ive also got a futures bet on the ravens for their division, so ill be cheering the ravens on but the money will be staying in my pocket.
Good luck tho geezer.
Sweet home ALABAMA

BOL to you. I dont think the Denver D is a fluke. Top 5 IMO. Limit turnovers and play field position. They do that week in and week out and they will cash plenty of tickets.

True enough about historical stuff, but last two games in Mile High were in 2013 season and 2015 season (both BAL losses). In the 2012 season (2013 Div. Playoff game) the Ravens won 38-35 in 2OTs.
If these teams were in the same division, definitely more data/more relevance, but not having played in Denver since 2015 kinda takes the highlighter color off the lifetime home/away records. And last time they played BAL beat DEN 27-14 in 2018 in Balty. Lamar didn't come into the league til 2018 also.

Very true thanks for clarifying. I guess I could say Harbaugh is 1-2 in Denver with the only win being in OT. But that would still be an absolutely useless piece of info
