Few expected the Baltimore Ravens to dominate the Los Angeles Rams like that. Baltimore was a 3.5-point favorite against Los Angeles for Week 12, only to spank them 45-6. With the San Francisco 49ers coming to town in Week 13, oddsmakers are giving the Ravens a bigger spread to work with.
According to BetMGM, the Ravens are 5.5-point favorites over the 49ers. Given how Baltimore has handled their business since Week 7, even that lofty spread over the best team in the NFC seems like a solid bet. Over the last five games, the Ravens have beaten their opponents 202-62 and are actually getting even better with each week.
The last game Baltimore had a smaller margin of victory than the 5.5-point spread currently offered this week was way back in Week 5, an overtime win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Keep in mind the Ravens have since added several impact defensive players, including trading for cornerback Marcus Peters. They’ve also since blown out four playoff-caliber teams in their seven-game winning streak.
With the 49ers set to travel across the country three days after Thanksgiving, and with kickoff at 10 a.m. PT, everything appears to be in the Ravens’ favor here. So if you’re looking to place down some money on a game this week, Baltimore looks like a pretty safe bet to cover even a larger spread.
