i like the 10 points for oakland here.  They are putting up some points on offense lately.  baltimore is 6-2 but could very very easily and should be 4-4.  9-6 against K.C. are you kidding me?  and they should have lost last week against Cleveland down 15-14 with 4 minutes left.  I see Baltimore to start losing alot of games here on out.  just devistating injuries to that team and i dont see Fluko leading that team anywhere. just doesnt have that IT factor to be an elite nfl QB.  i see Pittsburgh running away with this divison by a few games. I wouldnt be surprised at all if baltimore fights to finish 9-7.  Losing 5 out of thier last 8 isnt a far fetch.  Oakland keeps this game close and might even squeak out a win here.  take the points here.

    Seeing a close,hard fought contest.

BALTIMORE   - 9.5

Under 46

Baltimore

YTD: 43-35-1 (55.1%)

Oak lost the run game and that would have helped against this missing run defense and that puts the ball into Palmers hands more than they wanted to.Question is and has become an even larger than before question,can you rely on Flacco to out game manage Palmer.I think he may but certainly not to tune of points being given.

Oakland and the points...it may not be 'Just Win Baby' but 'Just Cover' will be fine here.

Can you ever rely on Palmer??? He hasn't been the same since getting hurt against the Steelers in the 2005 playoffs. I have learned over the past couple years to not trust Caron Palmer because he doesn't perform very well against top notch competition. I will take Flacco at home. Ravens seem to easily beat most of their lesser opponents in Baltimore but then underperform against bad teams on the road.

Ravens -7.5

I'm seeing a close, hard fought contest too - - that's why I like the Raiders +9.5

This one's matching up to be just like the Raiders/Falcons game a few weeks ago. Except replace Turner's piss poor 11 rushes for 33 yards with and even worse O-Line and RB in Rice , and Ryan's 3 picks with Flaky Flacco "scrambling" around?

Don't get me wrong - Ravens win the game, but not because of their offense - and certainly not by 10 points.....

I see this game like 17-14 or 17-10, something like that

Faders +9.5

Under 46

this game right here is a classic spot where you must "take advantage of an advantage" - not only do you have a west coast team traveling east, but it's one of the worst teams in the league trying to compete vs. a playoff team while missing both of their running backs.  this screams carson palmer turnovers all day.  easy runaway game and chance for baltimore to pick up some momentum with steelers coming up twice on their schedule.

RAVENS MINUS WUTEVS

You're right about that bigrazz!  I just noticed that I have a 3-Team Parlay that's still alive.  It's Vanderbilt +2.5, Seattle -7 and Oakland +9 over Baltimore.  I put that in a few days ago when the line was +9.

The line really crashed! I don't know why, but maybe a lot of bettors jumping on Baltimore?  I'm only using Oakland on the parlay, but here's current analysis on this game...

Analysis of Oakland vs. Baltimore from The Gold Sheet:

Oakland 24 at Baltimore 27 "Baltimore (1-5 vs. the line last 6) not as scary these days...Ray Lewis' absence is only part of the problem. Among other things, the Ravens are not generating much pass rush these days if foes can properly account for Terrell Suggs.

Meanwhile, Oakland won't even pretend it wants to run the ball if Darren McFadden (ankle last week vs. the Bucs) is hurting. But Carson Palmer (4 TDP last week) now has enough familiarity with his receiving targets for the Raiders to fight one-armed if necessary."

Oakland +7.5 over Baltimore

BOL with who you run with 

Agree 100% about Baltimore's home winning streak.  Ravens now 4-0 at home last four.  But Baltimore only 1-3 vs. the point spread at home!  Even failed to cover the spread against Cleveland (2-7).

Your analysis vs. Oakland is spot on.  I took Oakland +9 on a 3-Team Parlay, but won't touch this game straight up with a ten-foot football!
