This is an 8* AFC TOP SIDE on the Ravens.

I got down early and have a favorable line, but regardless, I think the Broncos strength of schedule can be called into question and I like LaMar Jackson and the visiting side to keep the good times rolling.

Baltimore is 2-1, while Denver is 3-0.

The Ravens are off an improbable 19-17 come from behind victory to knock off the Lions in Detroit, while Denver smashed the Jets 26-0.

So far Denver has won against three teams that enter the week with an 0-9 record.

So far Baltimore is averaging 27.3 PPG, but it's conceding 28.3.

The Ravens catch a break here though facing this Bronco's offense, which I said above, I'm not entirely convinced about. Denver is averaging 25.3 PPG, but again, the level of competition has skewed those early numbers.

The Broncos defense is No. 1 in the league as well, allowing just 8.7 PPG. Do you think this number is sustainable? Realstic?

Again, clearly the Broncos early numbers on both sides of the ball are skewed right now.

The Ravens are 4-1 ATS in their last five vs. teams with winning records and 4-1 ATS their last five on the road.

I say Jackson is the best player on the field today and I believe he'll carry his team to a comfortable win and cover today.

The play is BALTIMORE.

Good luck, NP
