Definitely understand the concerns about the Vikings, but there's so much value on the Minnesota side now. This is a team that beat the Packers by 13 and was winning that game before Aaron Rodgers got injured. They also went on the road and picked up a tough victory at Chicago the week before. The Ravens are just impossible to believe in at this point, and I'm going to jump on this value. Simply put, I'm taking the better team at home.

I'm not all that excited the Vikings’ offense, but they don't have to be great to win at home, where they have covered three of four this season. But the best reason to support the Vikings in this spot is because Joe Flacco is quarterback for the Ravens. Four TDs and eight picks in six games is awful. Baltimore has lost three of its past four games.

Hopping on this before it presumably goes up. Minnesota is a rough place for good offenses to come in and play well thanks to the Vikings' elite defense. What happens when the Ravens trainwreck comes to town? The Ravens are near the bottom of the pack in yards per play on offense while the Vikings defense is near the top. The Ravens' defense has also taken a step back since dominating its first two matchups. I'd lay the points at anything under a touchdown in this one.

You might not realize how anemic the Ravens' offense was Sunday; they needed two special-teams TDs to score 24 points against the Bears at home. Now they have to face an elite defense on the road. Lay it with Minnesota as the VIkings continue their march toward a division title.
