UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Baltimore (6-2 SU/5-3 ATS) has won three in a row and four of its last five. In Week 8, the Ravens built a 24-7 lead by the fourth quarter and let off the gas in a 31-24 win as 9.5-point faves at Arizona.

Seattle (5-2 SU/4-3 ATS) narrowly stretched its current SU run to 5-1. The Seahawks got a TD in the final minute to beat Cleveland 24-20, but failed to cash as 4.5-point home favorites.

"We closed Ravens -4.5 on [last week's] lookahead. And it looked like Seattle was headed toward a pretty ugly home loss to Cleveland when we re-opened," Michaelson said in explaining The SuperBook's Ravens -5.5 opener. "The power rating for Baltimore is pretty high right now, even though the Ravens basically sleepwalked their way through the Arizona game today. The public will likely look to bet Baltimore."

Seahawks vs Ravens Pick, Prediction

Action Network NFL betting expert Brandon Anderson offers this prediction:

Baltimore's offense has been far better early as the team uses those scripted Todd Monken plays to strike quickly. The Ravens offense ranks third in DVOA in the first half, and Seattle's defense ranks 27th in the first half, versus fifth after halftime.

The Ravens have been excellent in the first half for most of Jackson's career. He's 43-24-2 ATS lifetime in the first half, a 64% hit rate, and that's continued this season (6-2 ATS). Check out the scorelines of the past five Ravens games at halftime: 21-3, 10-3, 18-3, 28-0 and 14-7. That's an average of 18.2 PPG and just 3.2 PPG allowed.

Seattle is good, but Baltimore is better on both ends of the field and better at home. The Ravens will make a statement early.

Pick: First Half Spread - Ravens -3 (-110)
