Carolina is 6-18 ATS in their last 24 games and 1-7 ATS in their last 8 road games. The over is 4-1 in Carolina’s last 5 November games. Baltimore is 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games on turf and 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. The under is 5-1 in Baltimore’s last 6 home games. The over is 4-0 in these two teams last 4 head to head meetings.
Carolina is coming off of win against the Falcons last Thursday, while Baltimore had a bye week last week, so both teams should be fairly rested for this game. Carolina has played very inconsistently this season, but their defense has struggled against the run. Baltimore averages 168.1 rushing yards per game, so expect a heavy dose of run plays from Baltimore. I am going to take Baltimore in this game, but these big spreads in the NFL make me nervous.
