MNF: Raven @ Broncos

Lord_Strife · #1 10-08-2006, 04:59 PM

I noticed at mansion this game has the Ravens at +6 with the o/u being at 33.5. With an o/u line being so low, dont you think a spread that far apart is much more difficult for the broncos to cover? I think the game is going to be really good but I like the Ravens chances of winning outright, and at the very least covering the spread.

Thoughts?

I like the Ravens winning as well, or at least enough to get me to play those odds. Yesterday put 3 units on Balt SU at +200. It's now up to +241 on Pinney and I put 3 more units. Odds are just too good IMO. Denver is still one of the most difficult places to win, but we're not talking about a team as talented as prior Denver squads. Maybe I missed something, but I can't see why the odds are the high.

Did anything happen for the line to move a couple points this early? I know it’s been moving slowly all week but its sure shot quickly up today.

Aside from possible snow for the game, I do not know what may have changed. The obvious is that Denver is getting more action.

This might have something to do with the line moving.

I also have a couple units on Bal at 2-1, and may add a few more if the odds have improved. I don't think a QB as shaky as Plummer should ever have that kind of odds against a healthy D as good as Bal. That said, I have zero confidence in Steve McNair.

edit: heh, that article definitely doesn't make me confident. I'm curious to hear what others have to say

wow, that's reallllllly convincing. the only thing that might keep me from betting it is that my girlfriend is a diehard Ravens fan

I don't place a whole lot of faith in the game, either way. I am on it for the betwwts free bet, so I am hoping for a Broncos cover.

Still +241 on Pinney.
