Ravens favored at Rams in Week 3

If birds were able to lick their wounds, the Baltimore Ravens would be doing so after a shocking upset at Tennessee in Week 2.

Tennessee handled them, a week after Baltimore clobbered the Steelers to open the season. They visit St. Louis, who will play on a short week after its Monday Nighter against the New York Giants.

The Rams are home underdogs for the second time this season (best is +4 at Sportsbook) while the total hovers around 41.5 at shops such as Sportsbook.
