The San Francisco 49ers get another chance to prove their 9-game win streak is no fluke when they visit the tough Baltimore Ravens Thursday in Week 12 NFL betting action.
The 49ers get plenty of respect from the oddsmakers who made them 3-point Sportsbook line underdogs. That basically gives the Ravens a 3-point edge for home field, which is significant since they are 15-1 SU in their past 16 home games.
Baltimore has lost to two bad teams among their three losses (Seattle and Jacksonville) but bring their A game against top competition. They are 0-3-1 ATS their past four games as chalk.
The Odds Shark NFL scores engine is predicting a high-scoring game here, something UNDER bettors should be cautious of as they prepare to make their Week 12 NFL wagers at shops such as Sportsbook and Sportsbook.
