The Ravens actually haven't been as impressive as some seem to believe, as they have played only one good team. Baltimore's win over SD last week was a fluke, the result of Marty's poor coaching, and McNair's numbers are terrible.
Denver has won 11 in a row at home, and has one of the best home field advantages in the NFL under any circumstance, let alone a night game in extreme weather.
Denver has played three teams, and all are averaging over 20 points per game. Yet, Denver has only given up 1 touchdown all season.
Ravens defense is good enough to keep this one low-scoring and close, but I believe it is highly unlikely Baltimore moves to 5-0. Broncos & under is the correct teaser, IMO.
