Betting on the Baltimore Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens have struggled with consistency this season, failing to post back-to-back victories since the start of the regular season. They have been alternating between wins and losses since Week 1, which could be considered a bad omen when remembering that the team won their Week 7 game by 23-20 against a divisional rival like the Cleveland Browns.
While their offense is performing well, especially on the ground, Baltimore’s defense has cost the team the most.The defense has allowed 20 or more points in five of their last six games and with opponents averaging 261.3 air yards against them, fixing this problem will be key if they are to put these ups and downs behind them.
Betting on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers started the season well, winning their first two games; however, they were one of the favorites to make it to the Super Bowl, and they have done nothing but disappoint their fans recently, coming into this game with two straight defeats. The worst part is that both losses happened against very low ranked teams such as the Steelers (20-18) and finally the Panthers (21-3).
Perhaps varying their game plan a bit could help make the team less predictable, since Tampa averages the fewest yards on the ground in the NFL (64.4), showing a total reliance on Tom Brady’s arm. However, their defense has at least looked solid by allowing the fifth fewest points to date (17.7).
JefeBet Prediction
Considering that both teams have been stumbling in recent weeks, it looks tough to pick a winner for this game; still, we think the Buccaneers have a slight edge over their opponent.
Tampa Bay will be playing at home this time, and will also be facing a Ravens team whose defensive secondary has been a total disaster so far. As evidence of this, both the Bills and Dolphins—two of the three teams averaging the most air yards to begin 2018 NFL Week 8—scored more than 20 points on Baltimore. Considering this, a visit to Tom Brady does not bode well.
Prediction: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Moneyline (BAL 20 – TB 23)
