NFL betting on Sunday includes a matchup between former rivals, Tennessee and Baltimore. The two teams are now in different divisions but they have a lot of recent history for gamblers that bet on football to consider. Let’s take a look at this NFL matchup.
NFL history shows that Baltimore has owned the series recently, winning 7 of the last 10 games. The Ravens are also 6-4 against the NFL betting pointspread in those games. Baltimore has not been quite as good at home though against Tennessee according to NFL stats. They are 3-2 straight up but only 2-3 versus the NFL betting number at home against Tennessee in the last five meetings. Baltimore has been a pretty good home favorite in recent years, hitting over 60% of the time according to NFL betting stats since 2005.
This matchup is one in which both teams have quarterbacks that they didn’t expect to start the season. The Titans have Kerry Collins who has taken over for the injured Vince Young while the Ravens have rookie Joe Flacco. Both quarterbacks have been solid this season and that is one reason why both teams are fighting for the top of their divisions.
One glaring NFL stat about this game comes from the total. Six of the last 10 meetings have gone under the NFL betting total including five of the last six. The last four meetings at Baltimore have gone under the NFL total. That would make sense since both defenses are solid and neither offense is that potent. The NFL odds Week 5 total on this game is low, but for good reason. Many gamblers that bet on football will be looking to take this game under the total. With Ray Lewis leading the Ravens defense and Keith Bullock leading the Titans defense, that is not a surprise.
Tennessee and Baltimore may be early surprises this season to fans but gamblers that bet on football are starting to catch on. Both teams have been money makers this season in NFL for gamblers that bet on football.
