Good cause I'm on Balt.
He does not have a play nor a lean. He thinks the line is fair, thus, no value. Also, he releases plays on Thursday, not Saturday
BALTIMORE (-12.5) 23 Jacksonville 10

Baltimore probably needs to win this game to get the final wild card spots in the AFC and the Ravens’ out-standing defense should be able to handle an improved but still below average Jaguars’ offense with a banged up offensive line. My math model favors Baltimore by 12 ½ points, so the line looks fair, and the situations favoring Baltimore are slightly stronger than the situations favoring Jacksonville.
Dr Bob has been an institution for many years. But in the last 2-3 years his NFL plays have been very close to 50%. His college plays are a better bet, they do move lines and rightfully so.
Weather and or injury clarification might be a better bet for why the lines moved.

If Buffalo wins, Baltimore is automatically in. So maybe they figured Buffalo will win.
But on the local tv show, Harbaugh said they were playing to win no matter what happened in the other games.
Whether they cover the spread or not is another story.
why?
That's what confused me. What caused the line movement? I see the Pats line was 6 so the line moved slightly - probabaly due to the expected weather. But what is up with NO and Baltimore? NO's Pierre Thomas could be out and Carolina still has a pretty big amount to play for. Baltimore COULD clinch a playoff spot without playing IF the Pats lose. But let's be serious here!! If the Ravens need the game, it won't even be close!
Just wanting to see if someone knows something I don't
