New England Patriots over Baltimore Ravens: Let us not over think his one. It is rare that you can get value on Ne. I do not hesitate to bet against them when they are over valued and will play on them when we can get a price. Balt is off a bye the hype is on Qb Jackson. Yes he can run but his throwing leaves much to be desired. Balt is ranked 20th in pass offense 1st in rush offense. First off Ne is very good at stopping the run ranked 4th and look for Belichick to create many confusing looks for Jackson to have to deal with. Ne leads the league in interceptions and sacks. Ne is ranked 9th in pass offense Balt is 26th in pass defense. I am expect Brady and his receivers including Sanu in his 2nd game with Ne to have much success. The knock on Ne they have played the 32nd ranked strength of schedule however Balt has not exactly faced tough competition either coming in at 29th. I have this game at 5.5 giving us excellent value.
