Washington Shows Plenty of Bite as Betting Underdog
The Washington Redskins are 6-1 SU and ATS in their last seven games as a betting underdog. The Redskins will try to convert on another upset win Sunday on the road against the Baltimore Ravens.
After a shaky start to his 2016 campaign, Kirk Cousins has looked a lot more like the quarterback who finished last year red-hot over his last two games. Cousins had just one touchdown pass, three interceptions and a 78.4 passer rating in losses to Pittsburgh and Dallas. But in wins over New York and Cleveland, he had five touchdown passes to just one interception and a 111.5 passer rating.
Baltimore picked up its first outright loss of the season to the Oakland Raiders last Sunday, falling to 3-1 SU and 2-2 ATS on the season. Despite a break-even mark of 8-8 SU in their last 16 games as a favorite, the Ravens have been awful at covering spreads with a 2-12-2 ATS record over that stretch.
The visiting team is 1-3 SU and ATS in the last four games between these two teams.
