2. Baltimore did lead Houston by 21 and like against Steelers, played to defend the score and nearly paid again. Do they do it again?? I think they will. Flacco is not the smartest QB and has a low IQ under pressure. But the point is - they played well to that point and had they won by 21 - we would all be looking at this game different.

3. Drew Brees and his picks. Brees is the one reason why NO have not won comfortably. Is he a liability in what is probably a close game?

The Bookies will have done alot of work on this one and they are actually telling you based on their "work", Baltimore are proper favorites and should win.

The sharp money should be on Baltimore. Not the Saints.

If you need action - look for the total to stay under 44. Both teams have good D and the game will be decided by no more than 3-6 points. Baltimore to run the ball and New Orleans to do the same and take care of the ball since the Division will hinge on this game.
 
The Saints are not going to be blowing out Baltimore as most people want happening and celebrate how brilliant they are with their pick by half time.

I love to see it and my initial lean was NO but further thought on this game proved otherwise

Ravens 23 Saints 20

I will be playing the Under Total

One thing the Saints are doing in games is manage their injuries, ie prevention is better than cure and they are slowing the games up more.

I do see alot of 3 and outs here. I would love to say the scoreline will be like what it will be between Steelers and Jets, ie 13-10 etc but I think there will be plays to get some TDs. But 4 TDs for the Game at the most and that does favor Ravens to win.

The Over is my POD for that very reason!!  Brees will have a field day!
