Saturday's NFL Divisional Round Play of the Day

The Ravens.

At last look, the line stands at the Ravens getting 3.5 points in this playoff game.  What is important here is that half point.  You see, the games in this heated series are usually decided by three points.

The Ravens getting that 3.5 points is key.  Also, the road team fares well in this rivalry. Road teams are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four meetings.  This should be a close and low-scoring game. 

Both teams will rely on their defenses and pick and choose their spots on offense.  The Ravens might not get the win, but they at least get the cover here.

NFL Wildcard Sunday Play of the Day: Ravens

It's the Raven and the upstart Chiefs today at 1.

The Ravens are favored by 3 at Kansas City, but I still like like Baltimore.

The Chiefs have had a great season but they rely on a running attack that the Ravens shoul be able to shut down.

Joe Flacco and Baltimore are in the postseason for the third consecutive year. Aside from a Week 2 defeat to Cincinnati, the Ravens’ other losses were to New England, Atlanta and Pittsburgh – teams that sport a collective 39-9 record.

The teams have played just twice in the past five seasons, with Baltimore winning both. Flacco threw for 307 yards and three TDs as the Ravens beat visiting Kansas City (minus an injured Cassel) 48-24 in the 2009 season opener.

Another note is the Chiefs are 7-1 at home this season, but the Ravens counter that by being 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 road games.

Take the Ravens and give the 3 today.
