we talk about bed on coaches for week one of the NFL season and there's one name that stands out to me what's his name John Harbaugh that's what his name is the results don't lie all right the Ravens covered minus n and a half versus a playoff bound Houston team in week one last year they beat the Jets by 15 in 2022 in fact dating back to 2016 Baltimore s- one straight up 7-1 against the spread in week one and all seven teams they beat were held to 10 points or less six of those seven wins came by 15 points or more blowouts it's worth talking about the only loss during that span that was in 2001 2021 I should say on Monday Night Football in the very first night with fans at Allegiance stadium in Las Vegas after the pandemic and Baltimore LED that game twice in the fourth quarter by a touchdown and they fumbled the ball away in overtime my point is no shame in that they were prepared everybody was prepared for that game as they've been for all the other openers in the recent John Harbaugh era it's worth noting Harbaugh was an underdog as well excluding the resting starters in the regular season finale games Harbaugh catching points three and0 against the spread last year including outright upsets at San Fran and at Cincinnati I've got him 17-4 again against the spread as an underdog or pick them since 2018 that's a strong track record for a coach and a team in spots like this one Andy Reid we know how good the Chiefs are they won the Super Bowl last year they won the Super Bowl the year before that their season is not make a break in September all right they lost straight up as favorites on opening day to Detroit last year they opened the season 2 and four ATS in 2022 they opened the season 0 and3 ATS in 2021 it's not about hot starts for a team that expects to be playing in January and February two-time defending champs and this has been a hotly contested series it's five and five straight up the last 10 meetings and the underdog has been the way to betties five and0 against the spread the last five tried every meeting between Harbaugh and Reed since 2008 has been an underdog cash including the underdog Chiefs winning straight up in Baltimore last January on their way to the Super Bowl so we got playoff revenge in game one count me in at plus three I'm interested in the Baltimore side in this one in fact I'm so interested I bet it and I advise my clients to do the same client play for you right here Baltimore plus the points in Kansas City on opening night there's your big game breakdown back to you Mr PR Teddy where do you think that line will end up uh there are two and a Hales on the board currently uh do you feel like you if you're going to take Baltimore you need to do it right now not right now this minute I would expect this line to close right where it is 2.75 there will be two and a halfs there will be threes um some might take all the threes out it wouldn't I don't think you're going to get a lot better than the plus three minus 120 you can find right now if you like Baltimore I'd bet that sooner rather than later
