The Patriots are 9-0 straight-up in their last nine games in Week 14 and 6-2 against the spread in their eight most recent games. Since the 2009 playoffs, Baltimore has gone 4-2-1 ATS against New England.

The Ravens are 7-5 SU and 6-6 ATS, on the strength of wins against the spread in four of their last five games. While it’s true they are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games after consecutive ATS wins, the Ravens have tidied up their pass protection in recent weeks. Quarterback Joe Flacco, WR Steve Smith Sr., WR Mike Wallace and TE Dennis Pitta are very prolific when the pass blocking holds up.
