The Ravens opened as four and a half point favorites and the current line is now Ravens -7. The Broncos opened at -4 and is currently at -6.5.
According to the public betting statistics at The Action Network, the Broncos and the Ravens are the only teams with over eighty percent of the ATS bets. Denver has received 89 percent of the bets, while Baltimore has received 87 percent of the bets.

The Raiders/Chargers total opened at 51.5 and currently sits at 52.5. The Broncos/Seahawks opened at 41.5 and currently sits at 44.5.
