Ravens vs Falcons Prediction
In this Ravens vs Falcons Prediction, the Falcons are coming as -3.5 home favorites. Both teams have been in good form, coming into this matchup with back-to-back wins, but the Ravens have failed to cover in their last three games. The Falcons’ offense has exploded in their last two games, having scored 80 points combined in that span and combined with the home court advantage, I cannot fade them. The Ravens have a better offense and have been perfect on the road, but the value here lies with the home team. Take the Falcons and lay the -3.5 points in this one.
