This is a 10* NON-CONFERENCE MNF GAME OF THE YEAR on the Baltimore Ravens.
I think the visitors are getting severely undervalued in this spot and while I do believe the outright win is obviously not out of the question, I will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can. Home field advantage has been anything but for the Saints this year, they come into tonight's game having lost two straight in New Orleans. Two weeks ago it was a 27-24 OT setback to San Fran, last week was a 27-10 loss to Cincinnati. Note that the home side will be down two starters today in receiver Brandin Crooks and safety Rafael Bush as well. Baltimore, like New Orleans, is in a divisional race of its own and ended a two-game slide with a 21-7 victory over Tennessee on November 9th, its bye-week coming at a fantastic time as the team has been able to heal up and focus for the final push: "Players took some time off and kind of emotionally and physically recharged a little bit," Ravens' coach John Harbaugh said earlier in the week. "You don't realize how exhausted you are until you get a chance to take a deep breath and relax." RB Justin Forsett had a big game vs. the Titans, he rushed for 112 yards and two TD's on 20 carries; and that doesn't bode well for New Orleans as it is allowing 4.8 YPC and 146.3 RYP game over the last three weeks. Also note that the Saints have struggled against the pass virtually all year, ranking 24th at 255.2 YPG and they're also tied for the fifth-fewest takeaways. The Ravens are equally as inept against the pass, but note that Baltimore is 3-0 ATS in non-conference games this year and 3-0 ATS vs. teams with losing records. And note that the Saints are already 0-2 ATS this year in non-conference games and just 2-3 ATS in front of the home town crowd. All signs point to the RAVENS as the sharp move here.
