Top Rated 10* MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
(NFL) Baltimore vs. New England,
Total: 44.50 | -115.00 Over
Result: Loss
Play: Under
Rating: 10*

The 7-5 Baltimore Ravens will visit the 10-2 New England Patriots Monday night, and I think we'll see a low-scoring affair.

Baltimore is coming off a 38-6 win against Miami, and the team has allowed just a total of 20 points through back-to-back victories. The Ravens D ranks best in the NFL for total yardage allowed at 296.1 per game and they're tied for second with the Patriots regarding points allowed at 17.3 per game.

The Pats obviously have an explosive offense with plenty of options on the ball, but Tom Brady's top target tight end Rob Gronkowski is out for this game and for the season.

Under is 7-4-1 in games involving the Ravens and 8-4 in games involving the Pats this season. The oddsmakers seem to have a hard time adjusting the totals to these terrific defenses, and I think the total is set too high for this contest as well.
