Billick has to have realised that Redman isn't going to win many games for him and will go thru Lewis instead. Shanahan has a similar view with the Broncos that Griese (carrying an injury) is capable of losing a game for him while Portis, Anderson and crew can win one. However, the Ravens have done a reasonable job of stopping the run so far against the Panthers and Bucs _ the Panthers averaged 4ypc after running almost exclusively the entire 2nd half while the Ravens kept the Bucs to 74 yds on 30 carries. Longest run v Ravens D so far is 20 yds.
The Broncos have faced three of the NFL's most potentially lethal offences and have stopped them solidly in the first half _ 6 pts from Rams, 7 from 49ers (on road), 7 from the Bills. This was almost exclusively against the passing too as Warner, Garcia and Bledsoe all threw to little effect. Now they should be able to stuff the line against Lewis and the clock could burn up here nicely.
Too wary of the whacky NFL season to date to play the Under with great conviction _ can envisage a late INT or trash TD killing it.
So will stick with this..
PLAY UNDER 18 1ST HALF (1 unit)
