BALTIMORE – The Baltimore Ravens will take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9 where they are listed as 6-point favorites.

One way to look at the spread is by looking at what legal online betting sites have set for each team’s total points. The Ravens opened up with their team total set at 27.5 points while the Vikings opened up with 21.5 points.

Online NFL sportsbooks have hinted that the Ravens have a decent chance at covering the spread being that their total is set at the level of the spread but Minnesota is seeing their Under favored while Baltimore is getting acton on their over.

Why The Ravens Will Cover

Backing up the Ravens to cover even more is that in their games where they have hit Over 27.5 points, they have gone 2-1 against the spread in those games.

They went Over 27.5 and covered against both the Kansas City Chiefs as well as the Los Angeles Chargers. Both of them are in the top-15 in the league in scoring.

Why The Vikings Will Not Cover

As for the Vikings, they are on the complete opposite side of things in terms of hitting their Under. They have stayed Under 21.5 points three times this season and have failed to cover every time.

Also in those games, they saw the Dallas Cowboys, Cleveland Browns, and Detroit Lions – each of which are allowing their opponents to score 22+ points per game.

With the Ravens allowing teams to score 23.4 ppg, signs are pointing to the Vikings not being able to cover the spread while staying Under their point total.
