Baltimore probably sucks more than Phi but its gotta be close?

Actually, it is not close at all. Philadelphia is an above average team, while Baltimore is one of the very worst teams in the NFL. Baltimore is more comparable to the Dolphins or the Jets. They are definitely one of the worst 7-8 teams in the NFL, and I would actually put them in the bottom 5.
They do have 4 wins (4-7), but they have had a very easy schedule. They are also 1-10 ATS. I believe that this team has earned a good reputation (elite defense, great team) in recent years, and that this is why the linesmakers were loathe to make reasonable lines for them. However, at this point everyone realizes how bad they are, and they are certainly not going to be given the benefit of the doubt against NE.
