After three games where the offense was looking rather spiffy, and Baltimore averaged 34 points, the Ravens have slipped, dropping three straight games, two of them in the NFL betting odds, including a home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, before their bye week.

Joe Flacco is throwing the ball with a lot more impunity and has completed 64% of his passes for 1674 yards. Ray Rice has been a great addition to the offense, and he's really made his presence known in this, his second season. Rice leads the team in both rushing (441 yards, 6 ypc) and receiving (33 catches). he also leads the entire NFL with 766 yards from scrimmage.

Five different receivers have had at least 250 yards. The Ravens are converting 45.5% of the time they have had a third down. A lot of things are going well.

Then again, there are some things that aren't going so well for them. The defense has sprung a few leaks, allowing at least 400 yards in each of the last two games, including a total of 309 rushing yards in losses to the Vikings and Bengals. After a period of 39 games without doing it, they have allowed 100-yard rushers in consecutive weeks.

The secondary is really allowing opposing quarterbacks' throws to count, as it is yielding 8.22 yards an attempt. This is unusual for a Baltimore defense. With 14 sacks, they haven't been horrible, but they are not the same neighborhood with some other teams, including Denver.

The Broncos have been nothing short of sensational, and you can't say they haven't won any meaningful games on the road, as they have not only beaten Cincinnati in the season opener, but also took an eleven-point victory over the San Diego Chargers IN Qualcomm Stadium.

Denver has allowed eleven points a game, and has not allowed a second-half touchdown in any of the last five games they've played. Opposing offenses have converted just 27% of their third downs. They've yielded just 3.3 yards a rush, and are outgaining their foes by over a hundred yards a game. They have 21 sacks, and one of the top guys in the league in that category, Elvis Dumervil (10). Denver has forced the opposition to gain 23.9 yards for every point it has scored. They have covered every game in the NFL betting odds.
