NFL Week 13 opening line report: Oddsmakers giving thanks

This Thanksgiving, Las Vegas oddsmakers are thankful for a relatively tight set of NFL games on the holiday Thursday.

Outside of the Dallas Cowboys being favored by 9.5 points at home to Oakland, the other two contests should stay within a touchdown, which is good news on a day when the turkey-stuffed public loves to pound the favorite and the Over.

“That’s the way it is anytime you see marquee schedules,” Peter Korner, founder of the Nevada-based odds service The Sports Club, tells Covers. “Everyone will have their separate wagers rolling into each other on Thanksgiving. But this year’s schedule presents a pretty good challenge to bettors.”

The biggest question on everyone’s mind heading into Thursday’s trio of games is the status of Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, who has missed the last three games with a broken collarbone. Korner is advising his clients to keep the game off the board until more is known on Rodgers but says to expect a 7-point swing if the former MVP is ready to go.

“Without (Rodgers), I’d have to say Detroit by a touchdown,” Korner says of Thursday’s early game. “If he’s back, probably around a pick. Detroit was a ‘bet against’ team last week, with early money on Tampa Bay. We’ll see what happens with them with a short week.”

Korner expects the majority of the middle game action to come in strong on Dallas. Most shops are dealing the Cowboys as 9.5-point home favorites but Korner isn’t convinced books will want to go above the key number of 10.

“We’re wary of the Oakland-Dallas game. That’s the trouble game,” says Korner. “Oakland has come down with such a thud last week and Dallas is coming off a big win. All the action with be on Dallas.”

As for the night cap, Korner says books couldn’t be happier to have a rivalry like Pittsburgh-Baltimore split the action. This AFC North grudge match could have a ton of parlay action rolling into it depending on the outcome of the first two games.

“This is the game you want,” he says. “These types of games, anything can happen. The difference is pretty much the home field.”

Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs (+2)

With both of these AFC West powers coming off a loss, bettors have some tough terrain to scale in Week 13. Denver took the first meeting with Kansas City easily two weeks ago but playing in Arrowhead is a completely different scenario.

“These two are meeting again on such short notice that it is coming in around a pick,” says Korner. “There is a revenge factor for Kansas City but certainly the Chiefs need to redefine themselves and this is the game to do it.”

New Orleans Saints at Seattle Seahawks (-6)

Korner sent out this spread at Seattle -4 but agrees with the move many books have taken to Seahawks -6. New Orleans just hasn’t been the same team away from the Big Easy and heads to the toughest venue in football – CenturyLink Field – where Monday temperatures are expect to be around freezing with a chance of showers.

“That line plays into Seattle, not that the conditions and the home field aren’t noted,” he says. “New Orleans’ last game is going to be on people’s minds – scoring only 17 points on the road in Atlanta – and how different that scoring is between home and the road."

NFL line watch: Sharp money in love with Bucs again

Spread to bet now

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+9.5) at Carolina Panthers

With three straight wins under its belt, sharps are once again quick to jump on undervalued Tampa Bay this week. This line opened at 10, dropped to 9.5, with 8.5's and 8's starting to make an appearance on the board now as well.

They say divisional contests are always the most difficult and, while the Bucs won't be playing in the postseason this year, there's no doubt they'll be looking to parlay their recent success and throw a monkey-wrench into the Panthers' playoff plans.

While Carolina did gut out the 20-16 win over the Fish last week, it was not the overall dominant performance that we've become accustomed to seeing over its previous six wins. With a game at division-leading New Orleans next week, there's no question that this contest sets up as a classic "lookahead / trap" game for the home side. If you can still get 9.5, I'd recommend you seriously consider grabbing it as fast as possible.

Spread to wait on

Cincinnati Bengals (Pick) at San Diego Chargers

If you think the Bengals can build off their 41-20 win over the Browns two weeks ago, I'd recommend waiting a bit closer to kickoff before getting down as the public jumps on the suddenly "hot" home side.

At 5-6, obviously San Diego is not where it hoped it would be at this point of the season. However, after a couple of subpar years, there's no question that its veteran QB Philip Rivers is having a resurgent season. San Diego went into its bye in Week 8 off back-to-back victories, only to lose three straight. Last week's 41-38 win in Kansas City has once again given the Bolts some life.

This line opened as a pick’em, but there are some 1's and 1.5's starting to creep onto the board as well. Bettors should also note that Cincinnati has struggled on the road this year, going just 2-4 SU and 1-4-1 ATS.

Total to watch

Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs (48.5)

Any total involving the Denver Broncos is interesting to me. These teams played two weeks ago in Denver and the Broncos would come away with the 27-17 victory, staying below the posted number of 49.

After 11 games, the O/U for Denver is at 9-2, including 4-1 on the road. And after playing to two straight Unders, the total soared above the posted number in its 34-31 collapse at New England last week.

On the other side of the field, the Chiefs came out of their bye and lost two in a row, including last week's brutal 41-38 blunder to San Diego at home. Before getting down on this one, take note that the total has gone Under the number in five of these divisional foes’ last six in the series.

Packers' Rodgers 'slim to none' to play on Thanksgiving

Cheeseheads and Green Bay bettors alike were holding out hope that MVP QB Aaron Rodgers would be able to return to action this Thursday when the Packers head to Detroit to take on the Lions on Thanksgiving.

As reported by Dan Gantt of Pro Football talk, Aaron Rodgers wants to play this week, but Packers coach Mike McCarthy told reporters it would be a 'huge stretch' to think he would be sufficiently recovered from a broken collar bone to play the Lions on Thursday. Rodgers suffered the broken collar bone four weeks ago against Chicago.

McCarthy is leaning towards starting Matt Flynn at QB for the Packers (5-5-1 ATS) against the Lions (6-5 ATS), after solid relief work replacing Scott Tolzien against Minnesota this past Sunday.

Doomed in the dome: Bills struggle in Toronto

The Buffalo Bills make their annual trip north of the border as they 'host' the Atlanta Falcons at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada this week.

The date with Atlanta marks the sixth regular season game the Bills will play in the Rogers Centre since 2008.

Despite the game being billed as a home game, Buffalo has had very little success in Toronto.

In the five games in Ontario, the Bills own a 1-4 SU record, 1-3-1 ATS record and 1-4 O/U mark.

The lone Over was the result of the Seattle Seahawks hanging 50 points on the dismal Bills in last season's game.

The Bills are currently 3.5-point favorites and the total is 46.

Armadillo's Write-Up

Week 13

Thursday's games

Packers (5-5-1) @ Lions (6-5)—Immense pressure on Detroit here; not only have Lions lost last nine Thanksgiving games, four of last five Turkey Day losses were by 12+ points. Lions lost 15 of last 16 series games, with only win a 7-3 in ’10 when Rodgers sat out (sound familiar???). Packers are 0-3-1 with Rodgers out of lineup; Flynn came off bench to rally Pack to 26-all tie vs Vikings last week, after they trailed 23-7 in 4th quarter. Flynn has only started handful of NFL games, but he led Pack to 45-41 win over Lions on frigid day at Lambeau two years ago. Detroit was -5 in turnovers and had punt blocked in last week’s home loss to Bucs, yet they still only lost by a FG; Lions lost first meeting with Pack 22-9 (+6.5) in Week 5 when Megatron was late scratch- they were outgained 449-286 that day, with both teams scoring only one TD. NFC North divisional home favorites are 3-3-1 vs spread this season; Lions failed to cover last three home games. Pack is 0-3 as an underdog this season. Six of last eight Packer games stayed under total; four of last six Detroit games went over.

Raiders (4-7) @ Cowboys (6-5)— Oakland lost in last 0:10 at home last week; they’re 5-1 vs spread in game following a loss this year, 3-2 as road underdogs, losing away games by 4-16-17-4 points, with win at skidding Houston. Last three Raider games were all decided by 5 or less points. This is only second home game in last eight weeks for Cowboys, who had big divisional win Sunday in Swamp; Dallas is 3-1 as home favorite this year, after being 3-17 in Garrett’s first three years. Cowboys are 3-2 SU at home, winning by 5-24-15-4 points, with only loss 51-48 shootout with Denver. Raiders turned ball over 10 times (-4) in Pryor’s last four starts; they’ve turned it over only twice (even) in McGloin’s two starts. Hard to believe they’re interested in McGloin as long-term starter, but he hasn’t been awful in his first two NFL starts. Oakland is 6-4 in this series, winning three of four visits here, with only loss 24-7 in last visit, in ’09. NFC North non-divisional home favorites are 5-5 vs spread; AFC West underdogs are 8-3, 5-1 on road. Over is 3-0-1 in last four Raider games, 4-0 in last four Dallas tilts.

Steelers (5-6) @ Ravens (5-6)—Resurgent Pitt won five of last seven games after 0-4 start; they beat Ravens 19-16 (-1.5) at home in Week 7, outrushing Ravens 141-82 (season high in RY for Pitt) in game with two TDs, seven FGs. Steelers are 8-5 in last 13 series games, 3-2 in last five here; they’re 2-3 in true road games, winning at Jets/Browns, losing other three by 10-3-24 points. Ravens are 4-1 at home, with only loss 19-17 to Packers; six of their last eight games were decided by 6 or less points, with a 7th game decided by six- they’re 3-2 as a favorite. After scoring 19 or less points in five of first seven games (11 TDs/78 drives), Steelers averaged 32 ppg in last four (12 TDs/48 drives); if Pitt makes playoffs, could see Big Ben getting MVP votes- they turned ball over only once (+7) in last three games, after being -11 in first eight. Ravens allowed only one offensive TD on 22 drives in last two games. Home teams won/covered seven of eight AFC North games this year. Five of last seven Steeler games, seven of last ten Baltimore games stayed under the total.

NFL Thanksgiving betting: Packers at Lions
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions (-6, 50)

The Green Bay Packers have been in a tailspin since losing Aaron Rodgers to a broken collarbone, and they might have to survive another game without their star quarterback when they travel to Detroit for a Thanksgiving showdown with the Lions. The Packers need a win to stay afloat in the NFC North after a 26-26 tie against Minnesota on Sunday. Green Bay is one win behind the Bears and Lions, who wasted a chance to take the lead by losing 24-21 to Tampa Bay.

Rodgers hasn't officially been ruled out yet, but with a short week it seems Matt Flynn will get a chance to deliver Green Bay's first win since Week 8. Flynn came off the bench to pass for 218 yards and a touchdown against the Vikings, rallying the Packers from a 23-7 deficit. The Lions know Flynn all too well - he threw six touchdown passes against them in the 2011 regular-season finale.

TV: 12:30 p.m. ET Fox.

LINE: The line has held steady at the Lions -6. The total hasn't moved from 50.

WEATHER: N/A.

POWER RANKINGS: Green Bay (+5) - Detroit (-3) + home field (-3) = Detroit -11

ABOUT THE PACKERS (5-5-1, 5-6 ATS): Green Bay's four-game winless streak can't be blamed entirely on the quarterback situation, as the defense has
allowed 409.5 yards per game over the past four contests compared to 331.1 in the first seven. The Packers also are minus-3 in turnover margin over that span, though they did not have a giveaway against Minnesota. Rookie running back Eddie Lacy has been the workhorse for Green Bay with Rodgers out, and he gained 158 yards on 31 touches against Minnesota.

ABOUT THE LIONS (6-5, 5-6 ATS): Detroit has been hurt by self-inflicted wounds, committing eight turnovers in back-to-back losses since seizing control of the division with a win over the Bears in Week 10. Turnovers are the only thing slowing down the Lions' offense, which ranks sixth in total yards (412.1) and third in passing (308.4). The defense has held five straight opponents under 100 yards rushing but has struggled against the pass.

TRENDS:

* Packers are 5-0 ATS in their last five meetings.
* Under is 4-0 in the last four meetings in Detroit.
* Packers are 6-1 ATS in their last seven meetings in Detroit.
* Favorite is 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Lacy has recorded 22 or more carries in seven of the last eight games, averaging 94.4 rushing yards during that span.

2. Detroit has lost its Thanksgiving Day game the last nine years. It's last win was a 22-14 triumph over Green Bay in 2003.

3. Johnson has 861 receiving yards over the past five contests, the most in a five-game span in NFL history.

NFL Thanksgiving betting: Raiders at Cowboys
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oakland Raiders at Dallas Cowboys (-10, 46.5)

The Dallas Cowboys are tied atop the NFC East and can keep pressure on the competition with a win over the visiting Oakland Raiders on Thursday. The Cowboys go into their traditional Thanksgiving contest tied with Philadelphia for the division lead and riding momentum of a 24-21 road win over the New York Giants. The Raiders gave up a late touchdown in a 23-19 loss to Tennessee to fall one game behind a group of six teams tied for the final AFC wild card.

Dallas plays three of its last five games at home - including a season-ending showdown with the Eagles - where it is 4-1 with the only loss a 51-48 shootout with Denver. Oft-criticized quarterback Tony Romo boasts a 105.7 rating at home compared to an 89.7 mark on the road. Undrafted rookie Matt McGloin will make his third straight start at quarterback for Oakland, earning another turn in favor of now-healthy Terrelle Pryor after passing for 457 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in the past two games.

TV: 4:30 p.m. ET, CBS.

LINE: The Cowboys opened as 9.5-point home faves and have been bet to -10. The total opened at 45.5 and has moved up to 46.5.

WEATHER: N/A.

POWER RANKINGS: Oakland (+5.5) - Dallas (-3) + home field (-3) = Dallas -11.5

ABOUT THE RAIDERS (4-7, 6-4-1 ATS): McGloin has done a credible job leading the offense considering running back Darren McFadden remains sidelined with a hamstring injury and receiver Denarius Moore (shoulder) sat out Sunday. The Raiders rank fifth in the league in rushing, but that's skewed by the 504 yards Pryor has racked up in eight games. Oakland's defense has to do a better job of getting off the field after allowing scoring drives of 16 and 14 plays on Tennessee's final two possessions.

ABOUT THE COWBOYS (6-5, 8-3 ATS): Dallas limped into its bye week after a 49-17 loss at New Orleans, but Romo's late heroics against the Giants might have saved the Cowboys' season. The offense is still inconsistent and leans too heavily on the pass, but having DeMarco Murray back to full strength should help get the running game going. Dallas allows 432.2 yards per game - most in the league - and gave up 202 rushing yards to New York in an otherwise solid performance.

TRENDS:

* Cowboys are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games.
* Raiders are 0-3-1 ATS versus a team with a winning record.
* Under is 8-2 in the Raiders last 10 games following an ATS loss.
* Over is 5-2 in Cowboys last seven versus a team with a losing record.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Romo's 11 game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime are the most in the NFL over the past three seasons.

2. Raiders K Sebastian Janikowski is 15-of-22 on field-goal attempts after going 62-of-69 the previous two seasons, and he is 11-of-15 from inside 50 yards compared to 49-of-50 from that range the past two years.

3. Dallas CB Morris Claiborne aggravated his hamstring injury against the Giants and is not likely to play versus Oakland.

NFL Thanksgiving betting: Steelers at Ravens
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens (-2.5, 40)

The Baltimore Ravens appeared to be losing a battle to a Super Bowl hangover while the Pittsburgh Steelers merely appeared punch drunk, but the fierce rivals have each turned around their seasons to move into playoff contention. Pittsburgh goes for its fourth straight victory when it visits Baltimore on Thursday night in an AFC North clash that could have major postseasons ramifications. The Steelers edged the visiting Ravens 19-16 on Oct. 20 on a field goal as time expired.

Pittsburgh's 0-4 start was a daunting enough obstacle to overcome, but a 55-31 shellacking at New England on Nov. 3 appeared to be the knockout blow for any playoffs hopes. The Steelers rebounded with three consecutive wins to join the Ravens in a tie for second in the division. The Ravens endured three straight losses - by a total of 11 points - before beating AFC North leader Cincinnati on Nov. 10, and they bounced back from another narrow defeat in Chicago by dominating the New York Jets on Sunday.

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC.

LINE: The line opened at -1 and has jumped as high as -3 before settling at -2.5. The total opened at 41 and has been bet down to 40.

WEATHER: Temperatures will be in the high 20s with a 7 mph wind blowing towards the East endzone.

POWER RANKINGS: Pittsburgh (0) - Baltimore (+1.5) + home field (-3) = Baltimore -1.5

ABOUT THE STEELERS (5-6, 5-6 ATS): Pittsburgh was held under 20 points in five of its first seven games but has come alive offensively during its winning streak, averaging 29 points. Ben Roethlisberger has cut down his interceptions and thrown seven touchdowns versus one pick while being sacked only once in the three-game run after getting taken down 35 times in the first nine contests. Antonio Brown has four TDs in his last four games and became the fourth wideout in franchise history to reach 80 catches, while a rejuvenated defense is allowing an average of 16 points since the beating by New England.

ABOUT THE RAVENS (5-6, 6-5 ATS): Quarterback Joe Flacco became the league's highest-paid player after delivering a Super Bowl championship to Baltimore last season but he has already thrown a career-high 14 interceptions, including six in the past four games. Ray Rice failed to build on his season-high 131-yard performance on Nov. 17, managing only 30 yards on 16 carries Sunday to mark the seventh time he has been held to 36 yards or fewer. The defense allowed its lowest point total since December 2009 by registering three sacks, forcing three turnovers and limiting New York to 220 yards of offense.

TRENDS:

* Steelers are 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings in Baltimore.
* Steelers are 7-3-2 ATS in their last 12 meetings.
* Ravens are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games.
* Under is 7-0 in Ravens last seven home games.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. The teams have split the last 10 meetings - with eight of them decided by three points.

2. Roethlisberger is 37-11 in his career against division opponents.

3. The Ravens have recorded a sack in 22 consecutive games, matching a franchise record.

Thanksgiving's biggest NFL betting mismatches

Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions (-6, 50)

Packers’ passive defense vs. Lions’ turnover troubles

The Lions can blame Matt Stafford’s four interceptions for last week’s upset loss to Tampa Bay. And two fumbles and an INT didn’t help matters in Week 11’s loss to Pittsburgh. Detroit is coughing up the ball at an alarming rate – or it would be alarming if Thursday’s opponent wasn’t the toothless Packers defense. According to Yahoo!Sports, Green Bay is one of only four teams without a pick-six this season.

The Packers have only four interceptions overall and have scooped up just six fumbles – the second fewest takeaways in the NFC. If the Cheese Heads are going to get by another week without Aaron Rodgers, they need the defense to give them some extra touches. And it doesn't look like they have the ball hawks to take advantage of a mistake-prone Lions offense, which sits 26th in giveaways per game (1.9).

Oakland Raiders at Dallas Cowboys (-10, 46.5)

Raiders’ rush attack vs. Cowboys’ run defense

We usually like to dig a little deeper when it comes to our betting mismatches but this deserves mention, especially with Dallas giving so many points at home. The Cowboys defense has been steamrolled by runners this season, giving up an average of 133.6 yards on the ground per game. They've been extra soft against the run in their last three outings, for an average of 204.3 yards against and five rushing TDs. The Giants, Saints and Vikings all chewed up the turf and control the pace of those games.

The Raiders lost their dual-threat QB Terrelle Pryor to a knee injury but remain a danger on the ground. Oakland is fourth in the NFL in rushing - 140.6 yards per game – and return two key cogs of that run game Thursday. Oft-injured RB Darren McFadden should be back on the field this week, giving the Silver and Black a two-pronged attack along with RB Rashad Jennings, who has 413 rushing yards in his last four games. The offensive line also welcomes back stud LT Jared Veldheer, who will help both the pass and run gameplans.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens (-2.5, 40)

Steelers’ ramped-up attack vs. Ravens' offense stuck in reverse

The Ravens offense is grasping at straws and QB Joe Flacco knows it. The Super Bowl MVP ripped on his coaches’ use of the wildcat formation this week, stating “I think it makes you look like a high school offense”. Well Joe, the fact that Baltimore has averaged just over 18 points in its last six games makes the team look more like a high school offense. That and the fact you have as many interceptions (6) as you have touchdowns (6) in your last four games. Maybe your coaches are trying to tell you something.

Pittsburgh, on the other hand, has undergone an offensive renaissance in recent weeks. The Steelers are scoring almost 30 points per game over their last four outings and, as we mentioned last week, are picking up the pace with a no-huddle attack. The offensive line is finally coming together, giving plenty of running room for RB Le'Veon Bell. That’s opened things up for the passing game as well. Ben Roethlisberger has been the anti-Flacco, throwing for six TDs and zero interceptions in the last two games.

Lions' slump and other NFL Thanksgiving betting records

Disappointment has been right there with the turkey and mashed potatoes on the Thanksgiving Day menu for Detroit Lions fans, who have suffered though a nine-game losing skid on the holiday Thursday.

Detroit has managed to cover only twice during that decade-long drought, coming through for loyal Lions bettors in a crushing 34-31 overtime loss as a 3.5-point home underdog last Thanksgiving.

Looking back, Thanksgiving has been a pretty crappy occasion for football fans in the Motor City, and not because they have the in-laws coming to town. Since 1985, the Lions are 11-17 SU and 12-16 ATS during their annual Thanksgiving game.

Hopefully, Detroit backers were also getting down on the Under every Thanksgiving. The Lions are a profitable 5-23 O/U on the holiday Thursday and aren’t the only Thanksgiving NFL staples leaning towards low-scoring games on Turkey Day.

The Dallas Cowboys have produced an 8-20 O/U record on Thanksgiving since 1985. But, unlike Detroit, America’s Team has produced a profit against the spread – be it a slight one – with a 15-13 SU and 16-12 ATS mark on Thanksgiving in that span.

Here’s a look at the other four teams taking the field on Thanksgiving and their record in the holiday spotlight since 1985:

Green Bay Packers: 5-2 SU, 4-3 ATS, 3-4 O/U
Oakland Raiders: 0-1 SU, 0-1 ATS, 0-1 O/U
Pittsburgh Steelers: 0-2 SU, 0-2 ATS, 0-2 O/U
Baltimore Ravens: 1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS, 0-1 O/U

Essential betting tidbits for the NFL's Thanksgiving games

We know you will be grabbing for an extra helping of juicy turkey this Thanksgiving, so why not some extra juicy betting tidbits as a perfect side to go along with Thursday's Thanksgiving NFL action.

Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions (-7, 49)

- The Packers will be without Aaron Rodgers for the fourth straight game since breaking his collarbone and his absence has not only taken a toll on his team, but on bettors as well. The once high-powered Pack offense have gone 0-4 ATS without Rodgers and have only hit the Over once in that span.

- The Packers will turn to Matt Flynn at QB, whose last start for the Packers back in 2011 when he defeated the Lions in a 45-41 shootout, setting single game Packers records for yards (480) and passing TDs (6) in the process.

- The Lions have been mere kittens on Thanksgiving, losing nine consecutive games on turkey day, going 1-8 ATS. Matthew Stafford is 0-3 in three career Thanksgiving games, with only four TDs and seven INTS, which goes along with his recent trend of turning over the football.

- Calvin Johnson has scored a TD in his last four Thanksgiving games, but has only averaged 4.5 receptions and 70 receiving yards in those games.

Oakland Raiders at Dallas Cowboys (-7.5, 47.5)

- The Raiders are a surprising 6-4-1 ATS this season and are even better on the road with 3-1-1 ATS a record. They are 6-3 ATS when they rush for 100 or more yards, the Cowboys give up 133.6 yards rushing per game.

- Undrafted free-agent QB Matt McGloin makes only his third start for the Raiders and his first in the national spotlight. He has thrown for 457 yards and four TDs in those games. But when he is under center the Raiders need to improve on third down, going 8-for-28.

- The Cowboys have quietly become the best team in the NFL when it comes to covering the spread. After last week's road victory over the Giants, the 'Boys now sit at 8-3 ATS.

- Another undrafted free-agent QB, Tony Romo, seems to enjoy feasting on Thanksgiving, more specifically on his opponents. Romo has a 5-1 record in Thanksgiving Day games throwing for 17 TDs and only 6 INTs.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens (-2.5, 41)

- The Steelers, who many thought were long dead in the playoff race after a 0-4 start, are back in the mix after rattling off five wins in their last seven games going 5-2 ATS in that span. The Steelers are 4-1 ATS in their last five games in Baltimore.

- Big Ben has been a big reason for the Steelers turn-around this season. Since the bye he has thrown 15 TDs and six INTs with a QB rating of over 98.

- The Ravens are 3-0 this season straight up and ATS when they out-rush their opponents. The problem is they have only out-rushed opponents three times
in 11 games this season. Ray Rice has been a shell of his former self this season and is averaging less than three yards per carry.

- The Ravens have been a much better home team compared to when they play on the road. They are 4-1 SU and 5-0 ATS at home versus 1-5 SU and 2-4
ATS on the road.
