Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Baltimore Ravens 2010 NFL Picks, 2010 NFL Odds & 2010 NFL Predictions: The surprising Buccaneers will test their mettle on the road for a second consecutive weekend as they take on the AFC North leading Ravens in Baltimore today. This afternoon's inter-conference clash is scheduled to get underway at 4:15pm ET on FOX. 2010 NFL Picks, Odds & Predictions at Sportsbook.com have the Ravens listed as a -7.5 against the spread home favorite; the Over/Under is set at 42.5.
The upstart Buccaneers continued their march toward the postseason last weekend with a shutout victory over the Forty-
Niners in San Francisco. The 21-0 win improved Tampa Bay overall record to 7-3 and its road record to an unbelieveable 4-1.
Despite their improbable accomplishments this season, the Bucs have a long way to go before securing a playoff berth. They presently trail both the Falcons and Saints in the NFC South and they are fighting New York, Green Bay, Washington, Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, and New Orleans for the two Wild Card spots.
Today will provide another significant test for Tampa Bay, which has feasted on poor teams while falling hard to the upper echelon clubs that it has faced. The Bucs are 0-3 against the three winning teams they have challenged (Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Atlanta), losing by an average of 18.7 points per game.
Baltimore, at 7-3, owns the top spot in the AFC North thanks to a week four head to head victory over Pittsburgh. The Ravens cannot afford to falter, though, with the Steelers also at 7-3 and a showdown between the two rivals coming up next weekend.
Baltimore, which blasted the Panthers 37-13 last Sunday in Charlotte, has had little difficulty avoiding a let down at M&T Bank Stadium this season. The Ravens are a perfect 4-0 at home with wins over Cleveland, Denver, Buffalo, and Miami. Shockingly the road warrior Bucs represent Baltimore's toughest visiting opponent to date. The combined record of its four previous visiting competitors is a lackluster 13-27.
NFL Picks Betting Trend: The Over is 9-1 in the Ravens last 10 games as a home favorite with a spread between 4 and 7.5 and total between 41.5 and 44 (Baltimore 8-2 ATS, 9-1 SU in those games).
