Oakland Raiders vs Baltimore Ravens Week 8 NFL Football Today Afternoon 1PM EST

Baltimore Ravens (3-3-0) take on the Oakland Raiders (2-4-0) in a battle of two struggling teams. With a win Baltimore can go one game over .500. Baltimore has had one of the league's best defensive units this decade, finishing among the Top 10 squads in all but one season during that span. That trend has continued in 2008 as the team has held opponents to an NFL-low 235.2 yards a game and has allowed the sixth-fewest points per contest (17.4). The problems is that they just can't seem to score touchdowns.

The same can't be said of the Raiders, who rank 28th in the league with 15.6 points per game and are 25th in total offense with 302.0 yards per game. Since late season and even this year I have noticed that the majority of the Raiders games are under 44 points. I usually pick them on the under as it's usually a safe bet. For this game I think the Raiders will win 17-12. The game is set to begin at 1:00PM this afternoon.
