NFL Football Betting: Baltimore V Dallas
The Dallas Cowboys host the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday in a battle of 9-5 teams that are both in second place in their divisions (8:15pm ET, NFL Network).
Dallas is a 4-point favorite in NFL Betting Odds at Legendz. The over/under total is 39.5.
The Cowboys, who defeated NFC East-rival New York Giants last Sunday, are 4-1 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in their past five games, ever since quarterback Tony Romo returned from injury. Dallas has been strong at home all season with a 6-1 SU record.
Dallas knows they can’t afford to lose a game in the tight NFC East, even though they are one of the strongest home teams in the NFL, winning with an average score of 28.3 to 19. Luckily, they face a Baltimore team that has given opponents 20 points-per-game on the road, compared to the 15.2 PPG at home.
The Ravens suffered their toughest defeat, a 13-9 loss to AFC North rival Pittsburgh, last Sunday and they are now up against a Cowboys team that just beat the Giants, who defeated the Ravens by 20 points back on Nov. 16.
Most agree the NFL’s biggest surprise this season is the Ravens. The NFL betting value of the Ravens is way up as Baltimore enters this week’s contest covering the number in 10 of 14 games this season, leaving backers very happy.
Don’t forget the Ravens three-game winning streak straight up and against the spread, which is due in large part to Baltimore’s revitalized defense and the talent of rookie QB Joe Flacco. Although Flacco is having an incredible rookie season, he went just 11-for-28 for 115 yards with two interceptions and the Ravens failed to score a touchdown in Pittsburgh.
The Ravens defense has been a solid wall against the run, holding opposing ground attacks to only 78 rushing yards per contest. Their teamwork has limited opposition QBs to an average of 180 yards passing and a completion rate of just 52 per cent.
Bet Week 16 of the NFL at Legendz.
