The books are giving away free money this weekend. It is on the Baltimore Ravens + 3 points. One thing that always gets screwed up with the linesmaking is how when one team is 5-0 and at home, they just have to be the favorite. That is the only reason Minnesota would be favored over Baltimore here. Because they are 5-0.
If you look at these 2 teams, the matchups. Compare the QB's, Compare the Defenses, the running game, the recievers, the Lines. It ALL screams Baltimore. The Ravens will win this game easily. The Vikings are probably the worst 5-0 team ever, yes they are worse than the Broncos.
The Vikings have beaten the Rams, the Browns, the Lions, the Packers, and 49ers. They have'nt played a good team all year long. This is a massive step up in competition and when a team plays the lower tier teams all year then steps up in level they don't do well.
The Ravens have played an undeniably stronger schedule, facing San Diego, New England, and Cincinatti. Yet the Ravens have similar points scored and points given up. QB Joe Flacco has completed 117 of 182 pass attempts, almost 65%. That is against strong competition.
The Ravens O LIne is a lot better than the Vikings. QB Flacco has been sacked 6 times this year while the supposed great Farve has been sacked almost twice as many times. Farve has taken 11 sacks against the likes of Cleveland, Kansas City, and Detroit. Oh my, I would expect that this strong Ravens Defense will be in Farve's face all day long. I think Farve may take 5 sacks in this game.
And we all know what else happens, when a team can get to Farve and pressure him. This guy will throw interceptions all over the place. Yes, he has only thrown 2 so far this year but thats because he has been playing a level of competition that hasnt been able to pressure him as much as this Ravens Defense will.
The injury report also says that Farve has an issue with his foot. He is playing, yet there is an issue with his foot. This info can be found on numerous injury reports as I am not sure if I am supposed to put a link from an outside site here, so I wont.
But anyways, Farve is coming in hurt off a short week because they played on Monday night. He is facing a huge step up in competition from what he has been playing against all year. This is going to be Minnesotas first loss of the year.
The Ravens win this game Straight up. I have decided I dont want the 3 points. I will just take the +130 ML.
