Looks like a trap.

The line makes sense. Patriots defense is legit. They are the best at covering Tight Ends but the linebackers are a bit banged up. I also think the Ravens receiver can stretch the field which opens up the entire offense. The Patriots offense looked better with the spread vs the Steelers but the Ravens are a defense that can defend spread and 2 TE's as well. I just don't think the Patriots offense can keep up with the Ravens offense. The Ravens are averaging 31 ppg. They should get close to this tomorrow. But losing to the Dolphins the way they did. In embarrassing fashion. They had all week to stew on that game. It is a challenge facing a pissed of Lamar Jackson. The Patriots will be on the receiving end of this beat down.

Just added a bunch -9 +275.

The Ravens defense has been doing this for years now but no one really has paid attention because it’s “the Ravens defense” and they’ve just blamed Lamar while he’s been carrying the team. I doubt they get pissed enough to make a difference

Not saying you won’t win. But don’t trust this defense

Bet same amount every game
No such thing as one game having a better chance than another and your betting into a perfect line

**pologq** · 09-25-22, 06:32 AM

if the ravens didn't collapse last week this line would have been higher. it is about perception.

**lakerboy** · 09-25-22, 06:53 AM

Pats home opener. I'm not sure what to make of this game though.

**USCPHILLYGUY** · 09-25-22, 06:55 AM

Pats for me.

Locked Ravens-3 in the other day and agree it looks too easy which is usually a red flag.

I do like the fact the Ravens are coming off that awful loss.

**Easy-Rider 66** · 09-25-22, 07:15 AM

Balt Overrated IMO. Line should be a PK. Will take NE as books are gifting the player about 2-3 points.

im not following you Hooper? Take away last year where the Ravens were decimated with injuries and the Ravens defense was easily a top 5 crew for the last decade. Is last weeks collapse a sign of things to come or an anomaly? I think it was the perfect wake up call for the defense. It’s a huge angle imo. All the teams that lost last week in ridiculously ways will bounce back this week in a big way.

**Keith Richard** · 09-25-22, 09:33 AM

Hmmm...patriots as a home underdog...hmm. Yup Patriots don't feel disrespected I'm sure.

I totally disagree coach. Your confidence level should be different each game. I am much more confident betting teams i’m very familiar with, what there tendencies are and how their style matches up with their opponents. Betting the same is really throwing darts.

Ravens do not have that legit pass rusher on this unit.

Losing Judon a couple years ago hurt.

BB doesn’t play the disrespect angle much. Just do your job. I just don’t have a lot of faith in their offense. The Steelers defense is really awful and they scored 17 points? Only 7 vs the Dolphins? Can they keep up with the Ravens for the entire game? I don’t think so. As long as Lamar doesn’t cough up the ball, they should outscore the Pats. Had the Ravens won last week in blowout fashion, I would be all over the Pats but to give up 28 unanswered points??? There’s going to be a huge bounce back. The Ravens are the better team. They get Dobbins back. A few bruises on the OLine but great spot to bounce back big.

Agreed. Betting the same gets you nowhere

**pavyracer** · 09-25-22, 10:09 AM

Patriots looked bad last week against Steelers. They won but the team they faced was equally bad.

I actually agree with most of what you say here. At this time Balt. is the better team. Even so I would never feel very comfortable beeting against Patriots getting points. I'm not touching it so I wish you the BOL.

Yeah, I really don't like betting against the Patriots, especially at home. It's not a long term recipe for success. But players are emotional. They get up and down for games. The Raiders are another team that I think bounces back big today as well and they are also on the road. Could be an early burial.

I think the Pats are still trying to figure out who they are on offense. They are down a receiver which won't help. So, they'll try to grind it out on the ground, I think. If the Ravens can't get stops, it will be a looong day.

**Snowball** · 09-25-22, 10:43 AM

I don't think the Pats are good enough to beat Baltimore either.

**lakerboy** · 09-25-22, 10:44 AM

Threw Baltimore into a parlay.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 09-25-22, 12:37 PM

Ravens are a fukking Mash unit again. Good grief. This team can't catch a break. Guys dropping like flies. Not good for this bet. Do these guys drink milk? Fukk.

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 09-25-22, 01:13 PM

Mac, you looking fwd to NBA?

How you like the Cav roster this yr?

Love the moves. Cavs should be really good this season if they can stay healthy.

Ravens defense is a wounded unit. This bet is fukked.

**KRIT** · 09-25-22, 01:45 PM

I’d never touch a public road fave less than -3.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 09-25-22, 01:46 PM

Queen had a pick 6 and dropped the ball. The Patriots score on the next down. Unfukkingreal.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 09-25-22, 01:47 PM

The ball hit Queen right in the chest and he dropped a sure pick 6. You got to be shitting me.

Keep those parlays going LB. I have a few as well. The Raiders really fukked me though. Would have been an epic game if they would showed up.

**KRIT** · 09-25-22, 04:13 PM

Nice hit Mac, I lost even with the +3.
