Ravens vs. Dolphins Pick
Spread Pick for Ravens vs. Dolphins
- Ravens -7.5 (4 units)
Both teams come in off victories last week, but the Ravens should be getting Jackson back under center after missing the last three contests. That is a big boost for Baltimore’s offense and should bolster their production substantially. Miami was impressive last week, but it came against an Atlanta team without their starting quarterback and their #1 receiver. The Dolphins have struggled to stop the run this season and that is problematic against a team with Henry and the dual-threat capability of Jackson. Miami struggles to stop the run and that proves to be their undoing as the Ravens pick up the road win here.
Over/Under Pick for Ravens vs. Dolphins
- Over 49.5 (4 units)
These two teams have been over machines this season, in part due to dismal defensive performances. The Ravens have seen the over post a 6-1 mark in their seven games on the year. Baltimore has given up at least 37 points in four of their seven games, while they have scored at least 30 points four times this season. Miami has seen the over post a 6-1-1 mark in their eight games. The Dolphins have given up at least 27 points in six of their eight contests this season. They have put up at least 27 points on the board in four games this year. Both teams can score and are abysmal defensively on the year. As a result, take the over in this contest.
