Why bet on the Baltimore Ravens

It is very much possible to be at the top of the division, in the hunt for the #1 spot in the conference, and still not be entirely convincing. That is very much the case with the Baltimore Ravens, who are 7-3, yet still not nearly as good as we thought they might be this year. They have had to grind out results in a number of their games, leaning heavily on their defense as the offense sputters along. Still, they come into this weekend on a 4-game win streak, which they should be able to extend with a win against Jacksonville. Given that they have played so many tight games this season, it’s not surprising to see that the Ravens are just 2-4 ATS in their last 6. They are also just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 meeting with the Jaguars. The UNDER has hit in 6 of their last 7 games overall.

Why bet on the Jacksonville Jaguars

The hope was that the Jacksonville Jaguars would take a step forward with a new head coach at the helm this season, but things have not gone according to plan. The Jaguars come into this weekend with a 3-7 record, although things have been a little better in conference games, where they have gone 3-4 to this point. In terms of covering the spread, Jacksonville has been a team to avoid this season, as they have covered just once in their last 7 games overall. While they have been decent against the spread when playing Baltimore, they have failed to win in each of their last 5 meetings with a team from the AFC North. The UNDER has very much been trending for the Jaguars, with each of their last 6 home games going that route.

Expert Pick and Final Score Prediction

This is a little bit of a tricky one, as I am not yet fully sold on the Ravens, while the Jaguars are not really as bad as their record suggests. Still, I am taking Baltimore to win and cover this weekend, and I also think that the UNDER looks like a good bet here.
