Ravens at Packers Monday Night Picks

DLEV says: Ravens +3.5 over Packers

The Ravens seem to always step up in big games on national television – and this should be no different. Ray Lewis is probably the best motivator in the league and he certainly pumps up his Ravens for primetime just like he did last week against the Steelers. While the Ravens have an excellent pass defense, their run defense is weak and the run game is the Ravens’ strength as they have a stud in Ray Rice. The Ravens defense is excellent, even with Terrell Suggs out, so they should limit the explosive passing game of Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Ravens will win or get within three of the Pack.

BigBaller says: Ravens win straight up

At +165 Moneyline for Baltimore, the odds aren’t great to bet against the favorites in terms of value. Still, I’m going with the Ravens on this one. Honestly, I think Green Bay has the best chance to win this game, but my strong performance over the weekend gives us an opporatunity to gamble a little. The stats are tough to ignore, but I think the Ravens will fight hard to keep their winning record. Even though the Ravens are only +165, the risk/reward still points towards them. Look for the Ravens to score early, Packers will even it up or maybe even take the lead in the 2nd quareter. But the final half will be owned by the Ravens. Look for both teams to have a solid time-of-posession, but a relatively low-scoring game overall. If you followed my picks, and actually profited >$400, it’s worth the bet. If you’re only borderline, or worse in the red, save your money and wait till next week.

So, there’s your advice for tonight’s game. Check back later tonight for analysis of the game and GOOD LUCK!!!
