Football Picks: Baltimore Ravens vs. New York Giants

Ravens vs. Giants
Nov 15 2008 - 10:04pm

Gambling911.com is thrilled to provide its readers with one of our football picks for Week 11 of the NFL regular season.  We went 3-0 last week with our NFL football picks.  This week, one of the games we are looking at is the Baltimore Ravens vs. New York Giants.

The Ravens come into this one as a +7 ½ underdog at betED.com.  We love that line and here is why....

The Ravens are 3-0 in this series since 1999 and here they are a much improved 6-3 team taking on the New York Giants as a +7 ½ underdog.  We believe that Ravens defense at the very least will keep this game close.

Baltimore is 5-0 ATS following a straight up win.  The Giants, however, are 10-1 ATS facing a team with a winning record.

Some more things to consider before betting on this game courtesy of NFL News:

The Giants have the league's best rushing attack by a healthy margin and the Ravens boast the NFL's best rushing defense. Ravens LB Ray Lewsis was asked how he planned on stopping the bruising Jacobs. "The only way to stop somebody like that is to run into them full speed," Lewis said. "The name of football is hit or be hit."

Flacco's big test: Few quarterbacks have been as hot as Ravens rookie Joe Flacco the last four weeks. He has thrown for six touchdowns and no interceptions in that span, while also rushing for a touchdown and catching a 43-yard pass. However, none of those four opponents have featured a top-12 passing defense. The Giants, on the other hand, rank second and are third in sacks with 30.

A sudden case of fumble-itis: In their first seven games of the season, the Giants did not lose a fumble. In their past two outings, they have lost three and have come perilously close to losing several more. While the Ravens defense loves contact (see above Lewis comment), it has only recovered two fumbles this season; only the Packers (one) have recovered fewer.

Gambling911.com loves the Baltimore Ravens in this position as a +7 ½ underdog. betED.com. is one of the only online sportsbooks offering this line.
