The Baltimore Ravens need to protect the football against an aggressive defense Sunday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Baltimore had its three-game win streak snapped last week, as it suffered a 20-13 setback to the Indianapolis Colts as 2.5-point road underdogs, while going UNDER the betting total for the third time in five opportunities this season.\u00a0 The Ravens gained a season-low 287 yards against the Colts, which is important to consider when making your Week 6 NFL predictions, as offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak chose to run the ball just 15 times.\u00a0 Offensively, the team has gained an average of 148 rushing yards in its three victories.\u00a0 Baltimore is 3-4 SU and 1-5-1 ATS in October the last two-plus campaigns.<\/p>\n

The Ravens are utilizing a trio of running backs due to the suspension of longtime star Ray Rice, with that group averaging 4.69 yards per carry after finishing last with a 3.14 figure in 2013.\u00a0 Baltimore owns a plus-two turnover differential, but it must be careful with the football against a stop unit that has forced opponents into making 11 miscues.\u00a0 The franchise has won its last three games against NFC opponents can captured a 17-10 home victory in the last meeting between these two sides on Nov. 28, 2010.<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay returns home after going 1-2 SU and 2-1 ATS on a three-game road trip, which includes a 37-31 overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints as 11-point underdogs last time out.\u00a0 The Buccaneers have been out-gained in all five of their games this year, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the pro football odds page.\u00a0 Second-year quarterback Mike Glennon took over for Josh McCown a couple weeks ago and has averaged 275.5 passing yards and thrown for a total of four touchdowns.\u00a0 Tampa Bay is 2-4 SU and 3-2-1 ATS as home underdogs of three or fewer points the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Buccaneers have won their last three games against AFC foes, but they\u2019ll need to play smarter on the gridiron under first-year head coach Lovie Smith, as they\u2019ve been flagged 35 times for 273 yards in their last three contests.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Buccaneers due to the Ravens being 9-10-1 ATS on the road since 2012.<\/p>\n
