Week 5 of the NFL's 2006 season finds Monday Night Football in Denver where a defensive battle looms between the Ravens and Broncos. With the league's #3 and #4 scoring defenses matched up, expect this one to stay under the posted total.

We expect a smashmouth, defensive battle tonight when the Baltimore Ravens travel to Denver to take on the Broncos. The Ravens are giving up just 8.3 points per game, while the Broncos are giving up just 10.3 points per game, good for third and fourth in the NFL in scoring defense.

Denver QB Jake Plummer has been erratic this year and the Bronco offense as yet to really get on track. The Broncos are averaging only 12 points per game in their three contests so far, and the Ravens will be the best defense they have faced.

We see this game as being a defensive, field position, field goal battle all the way and like it to fall under the posted total of 33.

Play: Ravens-Broncos Under 33

That's a darn low number, especially with a cold and sloppy field. I expect a few defensive slips and stumbles leading to a long touchdown or two.

Tonights weather conditions surely helps the chances of this game going under as well tonight.
