Most seem to like Bal in this spot. Some books have the line at -3 with even juice, implying it could go to -2.5.
(1) SD OL injuries are the biggest issue here for me. But Ngata is Questionable, which may even it up a bit, but still big SD disadvantage.
(2) I actually prefer Sproles over LT. Seems like I haven't seen LT have a good game in a year and a half. Sproles is a better home run hitter, and the way you beat a good defense is with 2 or 3 big plays.
(3) I know its not West to East coast, but travel across the country to an unfamiliar place is worth an extra half point for me. In the last 5 years Bal has come all the way to the west coast only two times (regular season), both in 2007. A 14-32 loss to SD, and a 6-27 loss to Sea. I know totally different teams now, but both were ATS losses.
(4) Turnovers could be big, and based on my secret magic crystal ball, I think SD will get them.
Interesting question, if this game was at Bal, what would the line be? Bal -3? Even?
I'll be taking SD in this one, but I don't really know why.

i don't see sproles being able to do much of anything as he is too small to run up inside against that defense and the Baltimore defense is just as quick to the edges as he is...by the end of the 1Q I think SD will be basically 1 dimensional. Rivers and their WR are good enough to win the game on their own, depending on which Balt secondary shows up, but Ravens offense running the ball and Flacco are both good enough to control the tempo and the clock, hold the ball for long periods of time and win this game outright imo. I think the play here is Balt +3 or a no play, if you like SD, there has GOT to be better plays on the board this week imo.
I am on Balt +3.5, got it before it moved.
