NFL::

With each game it just gets harder and harder to decipher. The injury reports and players lost to injury have reached ridiculous levels IMO.

Balt @ Miami :

- We know Miami is still winless and that should keep them motivated. They are having the 72 Phins in attendance and there may be some cermony for theer 35th anniversary. Not sure but they will be attendance...is this extra motivation ? Truth is who knows these days. I would think some guys would want to shinein front of the veterans but you have Joey Porter say things why would I care I wasnt even born in 72....

- While Miami is decimated by injuries the Ravens are not far behind. The defense should be w/o both starting CBs in Rolle and McAllsiter. Alot of garbage is out there about the Ravens past 2 games. However I hardly read how Balt played last week w/o both it starting CB's. That is pretty signifcant to me when your now looking at your 3,4,5 corners as your starters...Also Ngata was hurt early last week but did return. I doubt he is near 100% , Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs were both listed as questionable but expected to play. Lewis with back issues and Suggs with the FLU. Heap is still out and so is Wilcox probably( Sypnieski starts?). At WR Clayton left the team for personal reasons midweek and I am unsure of his status. Demetirus Williams has been out a few weeks giving Devard Darling some chances.

- Both teams have terrible ATS trends in this matchup but as bad as Miami's are the Ravens could be worse. The Ravens have looked terrible on the road and sport only a 9-7 win @ SF but the ast two away games @ SD and @ Pitt were disgusting!! On the flip though Miami has been awful its past 2 games as well. My belief is though you cant expect them to win on the road at this point.

- Miami's defense is poor but the 1st 31 points allowed last week came on drives that consisted of 161 yds( 1 fumble return for a TD. Lets see what this weather brings and Lemon seems to move the offense much better at this point...


(Lean Miami +3.5 depending on weather Over 37)
