The Ravens have a nice packaged home game here vs TB who has overachieved all season long while playing the bottom feeders in the NFL... but someone forgot to tell TB that they were not supposed to be good.

I think that the Ravens DO win this game BUT that it will NOT be as easy as the line might suggest. Ravens-9 is just a little high in my opinion. I can see the Ravens winning by no more than 6 or 7 pts here.

Baltimore has to be careful NOT to look ahead to the following weeks home game vs their hated division rivals, the Steelers.

Gimmie Tampa Bay+9 for the ATS winner here.

Total is at o/u 41 currently and I feel that is likely to PUSH so I'll only use it on a Adjusted Points Parlay by playing Under-50.

My Guesstimate is Baltimore-24 Tampa Bay-17

two things going against TB in this one; traveling back east from the west coast and a 4:15 game @ BAL in late November!

might take BAL laying the points here.

BALTIMORE  - 9  (LARGE)

TB +7.5... Line opened at 9 and now drops to 7.5, huh? This game will be a defensive battle and the bucs find a way to deliver a win late in the game!!!

TB 20 BALT 17

Baltimore - 21                             Tampa Bay - 6

Ravens -7.5                           under 42.5

Toooo Cold in Baltimore for the Bucs this Sunday. Ravens ground out a tough Ravens style win and kick the pirates asses out of inner harbor.

Ravens - Under

They said the same thing when TB beat the Eagles in Philly for the NCF Championship game, the same year they won the super bowl!!! I'm pretty sure weather wont play a factor! Wake up Colonel!

Your right weather is meaningless, it's the 7.5 point spread that's telling me to take Baltimore. Along with the fact that.

Bucs are: 1-6 ats as dogs off bb su wins vs non division opponent

3-8 ats before playing Falcons.

4-12 ats away vs non conf opponent

1-9 ats vs non-division opponent off suats win

Tampa has turned the corner and all this could be meaningless, but I'll still take my chances on the Ravens to play this one tough at home.

GL - eshman

Good luck Colonel. Small play on the bucs, but HUGE play on Vick and the Birds!!!
