Baltimore Ravens at Atlanta Falcons NFL Betting Preview
The Baltimore Ravens (6-2) and Atlanta Falcons (6-2) are both playing on very short weeks in the first Thursday night game of the season since Week 1, as neither had a bye last week.
The Ravens were very impressive in beating the Miami Dolphins much easier than expected 26-10 at home, while the Falcons also played at home right here in this building and beat Tampa Bay 27-21 in a key divisional battle to take control of the NFC South.
The NFL latest line for this contest is Atlanta -1 at home, with the nfl over/under set at 43.5.

Baltimore Ravens 2010-2011 Season Preview
A Look Back – Once again, the Baltimore Ravens proved that they are one of the elite franchises in the NFL last season by making yet another trip to the playoffs.

Betting on Defensive Tackles at the 2010 NFL Draft
The NFL draft is rapidly approaching and which means it is time for NFL draft props. Draft props are a great way of putting your mock-draft abilities to the test.
The over/under on Defensive Tackles taken in Round 1 is 4.5 with the over paying +160 and the under just -180.
Ndamukong Suh and Gerald McCoy will almost certainly be gone in the top five, but the question is are there three more players talented enough to be worth a first-round picks and are there three teams who need Defensive Tackles badly enough to burn a first round selection on one of the remaining candidates.

NFC Divisional Games
The Saints made the Cardinals look bad. I felt this game had blow-out potential, I just wasn’t sure which way it would go and the Saints poor play down the stretch had me leaning away from the Saints.

The Indianapolis Colts play their first meaningful game in a month as they host the run-happy Baltimore Ravens.
The Colts (-270) are 6-point NFL playoff odds favorites over the Ravens (+225) and the over/under is 44.

The Colts started resting their starters in Week 16 and got two losses to show for it.
New England Patriots Embarrassed – By Their Own “Fans”

So how do those loyal Patriots fans respond? By booing their team in Sundays wildcard loss to the Ravens. The Ravens first play from scrimmage was an 83 yard touchdown run. The Patriots first series finished in a strip sack of Brady by Suggs, which led to another score for the Ravens.
