Ravens Breakdown: Baltimore improved to 4-1 last weekend after winning its third consecutive game, a 31-17 victory over 
Denver at M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens offense had by far its best performance of the season, posting 28 first downs and 415 total yards. It was no coincidence that the outburst coincided with a breakout game from Ray Rice, who had 133 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries.
Baltimore finished the game with 233 rushing yards on 47 carries while quarterback Joe Flacco completed 14-of-25 passes for 196 yards.
The Ravens defense, which ranks second in passing yards allowed, saw Kyle Orton throw for 314 yards and two scores. Baltimore also generated just one sack in the lopsided win.
John Harbaugh's squad is 2-1 on the road this season, garnering wins over the Jets and Steelers while losing at Cincinnati. Baltimore is averaging a mere 12.3 points per contest away from home (host opposition is averaging 12.7 points per game).
Patriots Breakdown: New England went into its bye riding a two game win streak thanks to a 38-30 home win over Buffalo and 41-14 shellacking of the Dolphins in Miami. The Patriots, which are 3-1 on the season and half game back of the first place Jets in the AFC East, did not turn in a tremendous offensive performance against Miami (265 total yards), but they did not need to. Brandon Tate scored on a 103 yard kickoff return, Kyle Arrington found pay dirt on a blocked field goal, and Patrick Chung returned an interception 51 yards for a score.
Despite the low yardage total and the sub-par time of possession number (27:43), Tom Brady still did his thing, completing 80 percent of his passes for 153 yards and one touchdown (107.1 passer rating).
New England is 2-0 at Gillette Stadium this season, having beat both the visiting Bengals and Bills. The Patriots scored a combined 76 points while posting a total of 821 yards in those victories.
NFL Picks Betting Trend: New England is 10-0 straight up and 8-2 against the spread in their last 10 games as a home favorite with a total between 44.5 and 47.
