Baltimore Ravens NFL Week 16 Betting Lines

The Baltimore Ravens moved to 8-2 straight up (SU) and 4-6 against the spread (ATS) the last 10 times it returned from a bye under John Harbaugh’s watch after the team went into Gotham and handled the Giants en route to logging the 35-14 win and NFL odds cover as lofty 17-point favorites. Lamar Jackson and his mates toyed with the GMEN tallying 445 yards of combined offense with the Ravens QB1 throwing five touchdown passes for the second time this NFL betting season. It was such a rout that Derrick Henry got to look on from the sideline a bulk of the second half—much to the dismay of his player prop and fantasy supporters with it being such a smash spot. Regardless, the issue that’s harmed the team’s efforts so many times to date remained out of the bye with the Ravens amassing 12 penalties for a whopping 112 penalty yards. No team in the league commits more penalties per game than the Ravens 8.4 per contest, and that’s something that doesn’t appear will be nipped in the bud as it looks to chase down the Pittsburgh Steelers for division bragging rights leading into the hated rival’s pivotal Week 16 throw down in the “Charm City.” Even so, it appears NFL bettors are looking right past that discrepancy and banking on John Harbaugh’s troops evening the rivalry going by current action reports from the online sportsbook.

Initially 12-1 choices to hoist the Lombardi Trophy, the Ravens odds of winning Super Bowl LIX shortened up to +850 from a +1200 rate of return with the win over the Giants, while their chances of winning the AFC fell to +390 from +475. Now only one game in back of the Steelers who already locked down their playoff bid, the Ravens chances to reclaim their Kings of the AFC North title remained +140. Its adjusted in-season win total odds jumped back to a season-high 11.5 from 10.5 with exorbitant juice now affixed to the under. Baltimore punching a playoff ticket demanded a $10,000 investment to make $100 out of the bye, but has since swelled back to -20000, while the “No” pays out a +3000 rate of return, up from the +1800 ROI last week.

Baltimore Ravens Week 16 Matchup

On Saturday, December 21, 2024, the Pittsburgh Steelers will take on the Baltimore Ravens from M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, MD. Kickoff time is set for 4:30 p.m. ET with television coverage on FOX. The lookahead NFL Week 16 betting lines hit the board with the Ravens laying 5-points and the total lined 47. The number to beat has since swelled to -6.5 due to Lamar and Co. hogging nearly 90 percent of the booked handle regardless of only taking in 50 percent of the written tickets. Apparently, customers betting on the NFL with crypto believe Baltimore evens the season rivalry up and does so by margin after dropping a tough 18-16 decision in the Steel City back in Week 11. The loss dropped John Harbaugh’s troops to a bankroll killing 2-8 SU and 3-7 ATS in the last 10 regular season skirmishes with their hated division rivals. With the under paying out in each of the last eight meetings that only saw an average of 31 points hit the board, total bettors have had no issue banking on a low scorer playing out in the rematch with 80 percent of the bets forcing a market correction down to 45. However, only 51 percent of the money is aligned with the under and the over currently has heavier juice attached to it. Could we see a shootout take place between these teams in M&T for the first time since the 2020 season?
