Baltimore Ravens (-3) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
For the first time in weeks, Baltimore finally met its match at the hands of the streaking Indianapolis Colts. Tampa Bay put up an inspiring fight against the Saints, leading late and taking them to overtime before ultimately losing by an opening drive touchdown. But Tampa Bay’s performance against the Saints is not entirely indicative of future success. Namely, the Buccaneers experienced a boost in their game from playing their division foes in New Orleans. No such comfort level exists in this matchup.
Baltimore, fresh off a loss to what is arguably the league’s hottest team, travels to Tampa Bay in search for a much needed win. The Ravens get their wish against a below average Buccaneers team still trying to find their footing. Baltimore wins by a touchdown and covers.
