I'm leading 2 contests and don't want to give my plays away, to give others an advantage. So I'll post only this one now.....
-8.0 :0074 :0074 :0074 (played them twice)
Baltimore beat the weakest of the playoff teams at home LW w/a big emotional lift w/the return of Lewis. Still, they gave up 25 FD's and 419 yds to a rookie dome QB in his 1st playoff game. Sure they're healthier than the 1st meeting but they're off a very emotion packed game and now on the road with altitude, so a letdown is definitely in order.
Denver is 13-3 SU & 11-4-1 ATS, and Peyton owns the Ravens. There are those who like to point to Denver's 2-3 SU record against playoff teams. While that is a valid criticism of the Broncos' seasonal value, it is not all that relevant to what we see out of this team now. All three of those losses came in the first five weeks of the season - the first five games that Manning had played in over a year.
Despite early TOs in each loss - which can be somewhat attributed to bad luck and rust - the Broncos were in each of those games in the fourth quarter (and two of them were on the road). Since then, Denver has won 11 straight games (9-1-1 ATS in that span) with seven double digit wins, blowout wins on the road over playoff teams in Cincinnati and Baltimore and an average margin of victory of 31.5-15.9.
Denver has won 9 total games by DDs on the year.
I see number 10 coming up early Saturday.
