Balt - 3 -130 or better

Balt - 3 -130 or better I really don't get this line. I made it 9 and was set to fire on -6.5 or better. Baltimore is much better on both sides of the ball and the offense is improving with the emergence of T Smith. Somehow early money favors the Jets, but come Sunday night public money will be on the Ravens.

I agree I made the game 8.

Like it...thanks for the play

I think most guys who come up with power ratings got to have this probably closer to what the line in this game----probably somewhere between 2.5 and 4 has to catch most people doing power ratings. Probably need to know more about what you're doing as to why you have it so high. This Smith might be good but I have a feeling that Revis or Cromartie will do a better job than the guy who replaced Bartell for the Rams. And if that guy has a job still in the NFL his week wasn't that bad I guess. I think losing to the Raiders is really no shame from the Jets perspective. McFadden will run over a lot of people but still the Jets do need to be concerned. I think the Ravens will try to run the ball on the Jets based on the early season track record. Of course it won't be McFadden here but Rice is good and the Ravens always have liked to run. The Ravens are weak at receiver overall aren't they? That is why did these trades and why this Smith is even playing. They do want to throw more and have been but actually that game plan is for the Steelers (and the Rams and their back up cornerback) if they throw they deal with the Jets blitzes and Revis. I have no idea what they'll do but I would be more conservative and proabably wouldn't do it. No doubt Flacco can beat a team with him arm but that might not be the choice in this game. If the Jets can defend the run better I think they'll at least stay in the game. The Ravens make big plays on D it won't be easy for the Jets. I think the injury to Mangold is critical to watch. I would just think they will be able to run and protect better with him in there obviously. The betting seems to indicate that Mangold will play or that bettors are expecting him to play. The Jets play at NE next week. I think to be a playoff team they have to be concerned that it will be much more challenging without winning one of these games on the 3 game road trip and the NE game will be tough. I think their sights are on this game. Not sure perhaps someone else knows if Rex has coached against Baltimore since he left. Both teams might have some motivation even if they have I would think anyway. Not sure who has the advantage in that but the teams must know a little bit more about each other than in other matchups. I'm not picking the Jets or the Ravens here but I do see it could be a close game favouring the Ravens of course but I don't see this game as a game the Ravens would be over a TD favourite in. The Jets do appear as if they could meltdown without Mangold, a weak run D and Sanchez making mistakes but I wouldn't lay more than 4 on this on the Ravens. I don't think it should be as low as -3 which it is getting to but I don't think it can be higher than 4. I think they got this line right.

rex lost to the ravens week 1 last season in a close game.

Skeeter great information. I agree that if your line is that far from the Betting line that could be a concern. Although the betting line is formed to get equal action and your power ratings aren't concerned with that. That said, yesterday at the Tuesday meeting it was a consensus that this line should be either 3 1/2 or 4. Best of luck with your play regardless.

I have joined the army on the Ravens I'm not sure if it is Dr. Bob on the play or that Mangold is still questionable that I heard and a game time decision but I think Calsport will be correct that this one might start to drive up. Unless something develops that is really good on the Jets I'll probably hang with my bet. Mangold will make a difference and who knows at this point even if he plays I might speculate he's not near 100%. I do think the game will go to +4 and heck it is actually is already there. It does seem like a possibility that 3.5 may disappear and -4 will be the new number.

The game got to 5 and even more at some spots. Mangold ends up not playing but I'm sure even of those inside the Jets they couldn''t predict what a huge loss he would be. At some point the Jets will need to stop coddling Sanchez. Hard to even say that would only be Mangold that would cause that type of chaos from bad snaps, no blitz pick up to all of Sanchez's off target throws. He really doesn't show much emotion for a guy costing his team 21 pts from his fumbles and interceptions. No doubt the Ravens D makes big plays. But he watched some film this week didn't he? I think Rex is right. Joe Namath would be shocked by the preparation you guys do. The Jets had a week to work on something with this Baxter guy and anyone else and it looks to me like they did very little and were scrambling to move another lineman over to play center. It is one thing to not expect a pro bowl performance like from Mangold then to have a whole offense just appear unprepared like a bad high school team. The Jets did a good job defending the pass but the Ravens were able to run enough in the 3rd qtr to bury them after the final critical error of the INT TD given up. Ravens gave the Jets plenty of opportunities to stay in the game. I'll tell you something when Mangold comes back and IF the Jets suddenly protect and can run the ball well again and Sanchez looks like that poised QB I've seen at times and the Jets threaten for a playoff spot this Mangold in my book will have rewritten football history as to how valuable a center is. Congrats to Calsport for spotting this mismatch.
