NFL Betting Free Picks: Baltimore Ravens (-3.5) at Buffalo Bills (+3.5)
By Eric Williams
The Ravens are ranked 19th in overall offense, averaging 329 yards 18.3 points per game. The Ravens are just a middle-of-the-pack team both running the ball (16) and passing (13). Baltimore’s stellar defense is ranked fourth overall, allowing just 272 yards and 16.6 points per game.
The Buffalo Bills are ranked next to last in overall offense, averaging 226.6 yards and 13 points per game. The Bills are also ranked 31st in overall passing and appears to be handing the keys to the franchise to young Trent Edwards instead of incumbent starter J.P.Losman.
Buffalo’s defense is even more dismal than its offense and is ranked dead last overall, allowing their opponents to average 421.4 yards and 23.6 points per game this season. Buffalo is ranked 31st in overall pass defense.

Analysis: I know the Ravens boast an offense that can often be described as anemic at best, but the Ravens’ defense could likely win this game without their teammates on the offensive side of the ball ever stepping on the field. Take the Ravens to cover the spread easily.
