The Baltimore Ravens have been painted as a defensive only team, that can't score. That is changing faster than the odds-makers want to admit. The Ravens have won four straight games, all by double digits, and the offense has produced 33.5 ppg during the four-game stretch. They have covered seven of their last nine, and this is just too many points here. They also catch the Giants in a very vulnerable spot. The G-Men played a very tough Pittsburgh team three weeks ago, and followed that up with two very heated division rivalry games vs Dallas and Philadelphia. That is three straight weeks the Giants have had to play in highly emotional, physical games. The wear and tear on those games leaves them vulnerable to a surging Baltimore team - a non division opponent that won't capture their attention like the last two opponents did. The fact that New York won all three, and sits at the top of their division and the NFL power rankings makes it more likely they'll take a sigh of relief and possibly get caught here. Baltimore has the run stop unit to handle the physical Giants running attack. And, with an offense that has been scoring in bunches, I think the Ravens will hang around this one, and I wouldn't be shocked if they got the win here if the Giants relax a tad too much after their great three-game run.
