Ravens in Unfamiliar Territory vs Chiefs
If it was possible to end a season early, it’s likely the Baltimore Ravens would choose that option and regroup for 2016. But before they can try to put a forgettable 2015 campaign in the rear-view mirror, the Ravens will play host to the streaking Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15.
It’s been a tale of two halves for the Chiefs, Sportsbooks of seven straight heading into the tilt. Kansas City has turned its season around to improve to 8-5 SU and 7-6 ATS on the year.
The Ravens, who opened as 7.5-point home underdogs at most sportsbooks, find themselves in unfamiliar territory. Baltimore has only been a home dog of 7.5 or higher once since 2007.
