Baltimore a bottom 5 team? Not a chance. Their defense is good enough to prevent them from being that bad.

This perception is why they are 1-10 ATS this year.

Their defense is not what it used to be. Ray Lewis is not what he used to be. Their offense is as bad as ever. They are 4-7 against one of the easiest schedules (thus far) in the NFL.

The next two weeks they play the Patriots and the Colts. After that they are at Miami. By then I expect most bettors to understand how bad they really are, and they could be dogs in that game.
