Los Angeles Rams vs Baltimore Ravens

• Opening point spread: Ravens -7
• Opening moneyline: Ravens -310/Rams +250
• Opening total: Over/Under 45 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (FOX)

UPDATE 10 A.M. ET SUNDAY: BetMGM opened Baltimore -7.5 (-105) last Sunday night and went to -7 Monday. Thursday brought a return to -7.5, and the Ravens are now -7.5 (-105) again. Baltimore is landing 54% of spread bets/57% of spread money.

The total opened at 45.5 and plunged to 40 by Wednesday, with rain – potentially heavy at times – in the forecast all day. BetMGM bottomed out at 39.5 Saturday, then this morning returned to 40.5.

But action is actually two-way, at 52% of tickets on the Over/55% of money on the Under.

UPDATE MIDNIGHT ET WEDNESDAY: Baltimore hit TwinSpires' NFL odds Week 14 market as 7.5-point chalk and is -7 midweek. The Ravens are seeing 59% of early spread tickets/55% of early spread dollars.

TwinSpires' total is down to 40 from a 44 opener, with a stop at 42 along the way. The Under is drawing 60% of tickets/74% of cash.

"Weather is playing a factor here with this movement," Lucas said.

Sunday's forecast in Baltimore calls for ostensibly a 100% chance of rain, potentially heavy, along with 10-20 mph winds.

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Baltimore (9-3 SU/8-4 ATS) is rested up for the final stretch, coming off its bye. In Week 12, the Ravens topped the Chargers 20-10 laying 3 points on the road. John Harbaugh's troops are 6-1 SU/5-2 ATS in their last seven games.

Los Angeles (6-6 SU/6-5-1 ATS) pulled away from Cleveland with two touchdowns and a safety in the final four minutes. The Rams won 36-19 giving 3.5-points at home, their third consecutive SU victory.

"We like this total a little higher than the market. I'm sure we'll get bet down at some point," Michaelson said, literally minutes before The SuperBook's total dipped to 44.5. "Baltimore is certainly highly power-rated, but the Rams are playing their best football. I'm sure we'll need Los Angeles."

The Ravens are stable 7-point favorites tonight.

Rams vs Ravens Pick, Prediction

Action Network NFL betting expert Brandon Anderson offers this prediction:

The Rams offense is good but worse on the road, 19th in DVOA vs. 6th at home, but the real mismatch here is the other side of the ball. The Rams defense is the worst unit on the field and simply lacks talent, and the Ravens offense should be able to get whatever it wants. Los Angeles also has the worst special teams unit in the league, always a problem against John Harbaugh, and the Rams' line could have problems against Baltimore's top-10 pass rush.

I love the weather impact on this game for Baltimore. The Ravens are built for this, winning with defense and an ugly old-school script, handing the ball off to Gus Edwards and a power rushing attack. You know who's not good in bad weather? Matt Stafford. Stafford is 7-14-1 ATS in games with 10+ mph wind (33%), and he's also 17-37-2 ATS (31%) from November forward against teams over .500.

The Ravens are well over .500 and are the much better team, rested and at home with bye week trends in their favor. Baltimore will get the job done.

Pick: Ravens -7 (-110)
