The New York Giants have put up a lot of points following a straight-up loss this year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New York has alternated wins and losses over its last five games, as it comes off a disappointing 34-0 setback to the Atlanta Falcons as one-point road underdogs, while going UNDER the total for the fifth time in six contests.\u00a0 The Giants are certainly capable of bouncing back, considering they\u2019ve gone 4-1 in games following a loss this season, averaging 37.0 points per game in that situation.\u00a0 New York is 2-2 ATS as a road favorite over the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 3-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Giants have forced at least one turnover in 42 of their last 46 games, which is a key statistic to consider when making your NFL picks against the spread Sunday.\u00a0 New York has done a tremendous job in protecting quarterback Eli Manning this season, allowing an NFL-best 15 sack when he\u2019s under center.\u00a0 Head coach Tom Coughlin has compiled a 38-25 all-time record against AFC North opponents, including a 9-6 mark versus the Ravens.<\/p>\n

Baltimore has lost and failed to cover the spread in its last three games, including a 34-17 defeat to the Denver Broncos last week as three-point home underdogs, while also losing the statistical battle in each of those contests.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019ve got work to do,\u201d stated Ravens head coach John Harbaugh.\u00a0 The Ravens have the league\u2019s fourth-best home record since the franchise\u2019s inception in 1996, but it has dropped back-to-back games at M&T Bank Stadium under Harbaugh for the first time.\u00a0 Baltimore is 4-7 ATS in December since 2010, with the OVER going 6-5 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Ravens still have the ability to clinch the AFC North division with a victory this week, as they try to avoid their first four-game slide since losing nine in a row back in 2007.\u00a0 Baltimore needs a big performance out of quarterback Joe Flacco, who has thrown for 3,475 yards and 20 touchdowns in 14 games this season.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely play the total in this affair, as the OVER is 3-0-1 in the last four meetings in this out-of-conference series.<\/p>\n
