Denver heads into Baltimore with a record of 10-3 on the season. They are 5-2 straight up on the road. The team is champions of the AFC west division and is one game behind the Houston Texans for best record in the AFC conference with three games remaining.Since a 31-21 road loss to New England way back on October 7th the Broncos have won eight straight games. Only one winning team they defeated in that streak and that was Cincinnati in a 31-23 road win as a -5 point road favorite on November 4th. Denver beat Oakland on Thursday night football 26-13 on December 6th as a -10 point favorite on the road. The Broncos fit the profile for a dangerous team in the playoffs that’s more than capable of a Super Bowl as they rank fourth in total offense and total defense. Quarterback Peyton Manning has completed 68% of his throws with 30 touchdowns and 10 picks.

The Ravens enter play with a record of 9-4 on the season. They hold a two game lead on both Pittsburgh and Cincinnati in the AFC north division with three games left to be played. They have dropped two straight and come off the 31-28 road defeat last week in overtime to the Washington Redskins as a +1 point underdog. The Ravens fails to hold an eight point lead late as they allow a rookie backup quarterback take over for RG3 and drive the Redskins for the game tying win and two point conversion to force the overtime period. With the Ravens offense sputtering in recent weeks the team fires their offensive coordinator.
