Both the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins finished the season with 11 and 5 straight-up records. The Ravens didn’t just finish the season with a terrific straight-up record but they also finished the season with a fantastic sports betting against the spread record of 12 and 4. That’s easily the best record in the NFL, after the Tennessee Titans’ 13 and 3, against the BetUS online betting spread.
The Dolphins have won nine of their last ten games to complete a ten-game improvement, and did so by bucking a trend and beating the Jets in the regular season finale. If you recall, the only win for Miami last year was a 22-16 overtime thriller at this site when Troy Smith was the Baltimore quarterback.
The Baltimore Ravens (11-5 SU, 12-4 SU, 9-6-1 O/U) have been the best defensive team in all of football for the better part of the last decade.
Now with a strong-armed rookie quarterback leading the team’s improving offense, the Ravens are a playoff opponent’s worst nightmare.
The Miami Dolphins (11-5 SU, 8-8 ATS, 6-10 O/U) completed the greatest one-season turnaround in league history and come into their improbable AFC wildcard showdown having won five straight games and nine of their last ten overall.
The Baltimore Ravens (11-5, 12-3-1 ATS) will look to keep its Super Bowl dreams intact as it visits sunny Miami for the second time this season to do battle with fiery head coach Tony Sparano’s Dolphins (11-5, 8-8 ATS); kick-off is slated for 1:00 ET and the NFL Playoff betting affair can be seen nationally on NBC. The Ravens were one of the best money-makers on the road this season after cashing ATS in 6 of their 8 games, while Miami struggled to cover the pointspread at home going a very poor 2-6 ATS.
