This last time the Ravens came to Oakland, they knocked the Raiders out of a trip to the Superbowl. Whats on the line? Next year and the desire to perform in front of the home crowd. I expect to see a solid effort by the home team. At least enough to cover the points.
Raiders might not win but expect good effort. I won't lay points on Ravens on road until they prove it. Last 3 games in Baltimore which is a nice home field advantage. Laying 7 on road especially on left coast is way too much.
I'm not nececarilly disagreeing with you K, as I don't think it's that strong of a play, but, the Raiders have so many guys out with injuries now it would be pretty surprising if they keep this game close the way the Ravens have been playing.
It is a good time of year to play against dead teams like Oakland. Oakland may get there, but if you bet them you are taking a chance. Small play on balt minus 6.5.
