PANTHERS @ RAVENS (-3.5) - 41
September 28 , 2014

Well this one seems easy.  The Ravens worked the Steelers.  The Steelers worked the Panthers.  Therefore the Ravens will work the Steelers.  Don't you wish it was that easy.  The Panthers got punked and they do have a solid defense.  Carolina will play tough in this one, guaranteed, and the Ravens are susceptible to turning over the ball (Flacco), but given the fact that this one  is in Baltimore, I have to give the Ravens the edge.  Cam obviously has not been 100% and it showed last week, but he will need to be a beast in this game to pull this one out on the road.  C.J. Mosely will make that task even more difficult.  The Ravens love playing at home, they are an incredibly tough team to play at home, and the Panthers just seemed to be out-matched in this one.  The stat advantage goes back and forth.  The Ravens have been rushing the ball well and the Panthers have been horrible against the run.  The Panthers are 10th in the league in Passing Offense and the Ravens are 23rd in the league in Passing Defense.  So both teams have a weakness to exploit, but this one will come down to Cam Newton being able to get Kelvin Benjamin the ball downfield and the Ravens being able to run all over this suspect Panthers run defense.  So how does that work out... The Ravens focusing on running the ball and controlling the clock with the Panthers attempting to score in the air to establish an early lead.  This should be a great game, but the Ravens will most likely come out on top.
