Brady Kannon NFL Side Sun, 11/10/13 - 1:00 PM
dime bet - 216 BAL 2.0 (-110) vs 215 CIN
Analysis: Despite struggling through a three game losing streak, at this short price, we are ready
to back The Ravens here today as an in division, home underdog. Bengals signal caller Andy
Dalton, as a small favorite (less than 5-points) is just 2-7-and-1 ATS in division games.. while Joe
Flacco gets up for good teams, going a perfect 3-and-0 ATS as an underdog at home. Toss in the
fact that as a team, Cincinnati is 0-and-6 ATS when laying points on the road in division. So while
the situation sets up nicely, we believe it does also on the field. The Baltimore offense has been
very average but today they go against a Bengals stop unit that is now without Geno Atkins and
Ray Maualuga - and both Michael Boley and James Harrison are banged up and listed as
questionable. On the other side, The Ravens defense is solid and healthy, and ought to be able to
keep the Cincinnati offense in check. Finally, from a pride standpoint, defending SuperBowl
Champions are 4-and-0 SUATS coming off of three straight losses. With a win here today, Coach
Harbaugh has his team right back in the mix for the division crown.. and what a better place to
rebound than at home. We'll take the points and the birds to bounce back against The Bengals in
Baltimore.
RATING 4 BUFFALO (+4) over Pittsburgh
RATING 3 NEW ORLEANS (-6½) over Dallas
RATING 2 OAKLAND (+7) over NY Giants
RATING 1 ST. LOUIS (+12½) over Indianapolis
SAN FRANCISCO 34 - Carolina 17 - (4:05) -- Line opened at SanFrancisco minus 6, and is still minus 6. We originally
called this one much closer, based on the recent fine play of the Panthers, under the leadership of
Newton, who has throw for 934 yds in wins & covers over Minny, StLouis, Tampa, & Atlanta. Certainly
impressive, but those 4 squads own a combined log of 6-27. Not the case in this contest, as the
Niners (consensus choice to take it all in this year's pre-season) are cooking, with 5-game SU/ATS
run of their own (average score 35-12). Saints up next for SF, but Harbaugh won't allow any peeking.
RATING: SAN FRANCISCO 88
NEAR CHOICES (Rated 87): NewOrleans, Detroit, Tampa
