    Ravens +3.5 at Pats discussion
    Earlier in the year these teams played in Foxboro and the pats were a 4.5 favorite and covered. The Pats won 27-21 despite Baltimore being harshly treated by the refs with numerous dubious calls. Brady and the gang were able to muster some good drives and Baltimore left many points on the field.I believe the ravens are very well prepared and have been all business in the second half of the season. Most people still think of Baltimore as a defensive team while they really are more offensive and like to air it out alot more these days. I see the Pats attempting to run the ball alot more and keep Ray Rice off the field. This game has points written all over it and I see a higher scoring game going over the posted total of 43.5. I also see the ravens covering the spread of +3.5 but I dont want to call it a Ravens win cause we know how tough that is in New England but i can see it happening. Opinions

      Don't even bother with spread, Ravens +170 is the play.

      Welker was the heart and soul of Patriots this season.

                  His book probably has a 3-point buy cap, in which case choice should be either take the +3.5 straight line or the money line, buying should not be considered. In fact, buying should not be considered even where you can buy more points unless your book keeps charging 10 cents per half even as the number gets further away from 3.5 (i.e., +7 -180 or +7.5 -190). Those would hold some value at those prices, although they are hard to find.

                    Guys please make your opinions about the game. Dont start a fight with G's pks i know he is going to play this game cause I have him interested right G's. Dont worry about buying points G"s its a waste of money, take the ravens at +3.5 you are already getting the hook anyways.

                      did you like the huey lewis video? Yes buying to 7 is better...but what makes you think it ends up at exactly 7? Their last two head to heads have been decided by 6 and 3...but I am sure you knew that already...

                                          Loss of Welker is bigger than most people think, he had a great rapport with Brady and Tom knew where he would be at all times.

                                          This is significant because Ravens will bring pressure today, and while Edelman is talented, rookie won't be able to improvise when Brady is trying to escape.

                                              Yes he is very talented, I just don't trust him to read defenses.

                                                I agree with LT the pats will have a tough time i would pick the ravens ML too and actually like the under for this game, the ravens will run the ball and i dont see the pats scoring more than 2 TD my guess is something like 20-17 Ravens
