Patriots vs. Ravens Predictions

Best Bet
Money should come for the Ravens –2.5, so we’re taking the line before it moves on game day.
The Ravens haven’t had the best of seasons, but they won 24-0 against the Bengals last week, and that could see their best form return against a Patriots team coming off a tough loss to the Buffalo Bills.
We were confident with the Patriots beating the Bills last week, but after leading 21-0, they looked terrible after that. We’re not sure if they’ll recover quickly enough to beat the Ravens, who get home ground advantage.
With Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry likely to run all day long, it could be a long game for the Patriots’ defence.

Same Game Multi
It hasn’t been the best year for Henry, but after going two games without scoring a touchdown, he should score one against the Patriots. He’ll be used close to the endzone, and he could be used in the play action game with a pass from Jackson.
We have Jackson throwing 2+ touchdown passes. He’s an underrated passer because of his running prowess at QB, but he ranks as one of the more accurate passers in the game. He should link up with his receivers for at least two touchdowns.
Under 47.5 points is worth including in multis. The Ravens’ defence held Cincinnati to no points last week, so it could be tough for the Pats to score.

Best Value Bet
The odds for Baltimore to win by 14+ points are much bigger than we expected. The Patriots are a good team, but they could struggle and regress on the way to the playoffs.
The Ravens are a team that can put on points quickly, and winning by two touchdowns is possible, as they showed last week.
It’s an excellent value play in what could be a 27-10 score line.
