ATS Pick: Ravens -5.5
One would think it is hard to bet against Buffalo with Bills Mafia behind them, but all three games they did not cover were at home. Two of those games really stick out as they failed to go over the spread against the Bengals and Dolphins. The Bills are 8-3-1 ATS on the season.
Baltimore is 6-5-1 ATS after failing to cover the same spread against the 49ers. They had covered five straight games leading up to last week, which is no surprise considering how they have been blowing out teams recently.
The key in this game is the Ravens are also a covering machine on the road. Baltimore is 4-1 ATS on the road this season and 14-5 ATS away from home over the last three seasons. Buffalo is not the team to slow down this train if history is our example.
