The Baltimore Ravens have been nearly unbeatable at M&T Bank Stadium under John Harbaugh<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Denver has won eight games in a row, including a 26-13 victory over the Oakland Raiders as 10-point road favorites last time out, while winning the statistical battle seven times in that span.\u00a0 The Broncos are being led by quarterback Peyton Manning offensively, who has thrown for an AFC-best 30 touchdowns with a 104.0 passer rating.\u00a0 He\u2019ll definitely try to get the running game going with Knowshon Moreno, who ran the ball a career-high 32 times versus the Silver and Black.\u00a0 Denver is 7-1 ATS as a favorite this season, with the OVER going 5-4 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Broncos have lost all four road games against the Ravens, including a 31-17 setback as eight-point underdogs on Oct. 10, 2010.\u00a0 Denver is definitely a different team with Manning under center, especially since he owns a 4-2 record against Baltimore during his time with the Indianapolis Colts.\u00a0 In his last four meetings with Sunday\u2019s opponent, he has managed to throw for 12 touchdowns and just six interceptions for a passer rating or 94.0.<\/p>\n

Baltimore has dropped back-to-back games for the first time this season, as it looks to bounce back from a 31-28 overtime defeat to the Washington Redskins as one-point road underdogs, while going OVER the total in its last two contests.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s a big game, we don\u2019t really need an incentive,\u201d stated Ravens head coach John Harbaugh.\u00a0 The Ravens made a big move in firing offensive coordinator Cam Cameron after last week\u2019s loss, with the offense ranking 18th in the NFL in averaging 344.4 yards per game.\u00a0 Baltimore is 5-4 ATS as an underdog the last two-plus seasons, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your pro football predictions in Week 15.<\/p>\n

The Ravens own a dominating 32-6 record at M&T Bank Stadium since Harbaugh was hired in 2008, which is tied for the second-best home mark in the league over that span.\u00a0 \u00a0 Baltimore has been dealing with numerous injuries on the defensive side of the ball, which has led to ranking 24th overall in surrendering 375.9 yards per game.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Ravens due to their 4-2 ATS mark versus AFC West opponents, while the Broncos are 3-5 ATS in the last four weeks of the season since 2010.<\/p>\n
