Tampa Bay looked terrible in their last game against Carolina and has now lost two games in a row. Baltimore was able to come away with the win against Cleveland and played very good defense to hold the lead. Baltimore is banged up, so it will be interesting to see who is able to play and who isn’t. I like the under in this game.
