Playoffs: Baltimore Ravens vs. New England Patriots odds, spread

Playoffs: Baltimore Ravens vs. New England Patriots odds, spread At the beginning of the season not many people would've guessed that the Baltimore Ravens would be contenders for a Super Bowl spot, other than their fans, of course, but following the overtime victory against the Broncos in the playoffs, the Ravens will now face the New England Patriots for the coveted AFC Champion title. And with a record of just 10-6 during regular season, the Ravens are one of the reasons why the playoffs are so much more exciting. But if we look at the bookmakers' odds on this playoff game, there would be no Cinderella story this year, at least according to the sportsbooks.

Starting with the betting odds on this AFC Championship game, at Bookmaker the Baltimore Ravens odds to win the Sunday game are at a very distant +315, while the Patriots are the top favorite among the teams this weekend with odds -375. The popular online sportsbook Bovada has better odds on the favorite, listing the New England Patriots with odds -360, while the Ravens would pay out only on +280 at this bookie, if they manage to deliver the upset. We should also mention that Bookmaker has the odds on the Patriots at +105 to win the Super Bowl 2013, and will be the last time you would see the favorite with + odds, so take advantage of those, if you plan on betting the Super Bowl this year on the Pats (or any of the four remaining teams at this time). The total on the Ravens - Pats game at Bookmaker is expected at 51 points while the one at Bovada Sports is at 51.5 points and the over is paying at -115.

The Baltimore Ravens vs New England Patriots point spread is currently at -8 chalk the Patriots at Bookmaker and the whopping -10 at Bovada, giving bettors plenty of options this weekend, considering that the point spread will be the most bet on option in the Ravens Patriots game, as well as the other playoff game remaining (see bottom link for odds preview). If you are betting the spread, keep in mind that Baltimore is 2-4-2 against the spread in its last 8 games when playing on the road against New England and the Patriots are 2-3-1 against the spread in its last 6 games when playing the Ravens.
