Early numbers show that 82% of the early bettors favor Baltimore and it\u2019s expected to be a low scoring affair with the Over\/Under at just 35.5 points.<\/p>\n<p>If Portis can\u2019t go, expect to see a lot of backup LaDell Betts. However, Baltimore\u2019s run defense is one of the best in the NFL and Washington will likely not have success in that area without their starter. Their best chance to win is taking more chances down the field with quarterback Jason Campbell, even though he has struggled lately.<\/p>\n<p>Airing it out more with Campbell also means that wide receiver Santana Moss has the best chance coming through on the \u2018First TD\u2019 and Primetime Prop as he has five touchdowns on the season.<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore is one of the NFL\u2019s hottest teams, winning six out of seven games straight up and ATS. They sit one game behind Pittsburgh in the AFC North and are also in the Wild Card race. Winning this game will aid their playoff chances and possibly knock out their hated neighbors in D.C.<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco has played unlike a rookie for most of the year, and he\u2019s been throwing more touchdown passes of late, with nine in the last five games. Mark Clayton has been on the receiving end of three of those, and he\u2019s the most likely Flacco\u2019 target to score on Sunday night.<\/p>\n<p>And, even though Flacco has played well, this is a team that wants to run the ball first with Le\u2019Ron McClain and Ray Rice. The Ravens are third in the league in rush offense and that will certainly be the game plan with the temperature dipping into the 20\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>One positive note for Washington backers is while they\u2019ve lost their last three home games (all to very good opponents), they\u2019ve won and covered four straight on the road.<\/p>\n<p>Note that the current leading candidates for the Player to Score 1st TD Prop are as follows:  Le\u2019Ron McClain (5:1), Clinton Portis (6:1), Mark Clayton (8:1), Derrick Mason (8:1), Santana Moss (8:1), and Todd Heap (8:1).<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/respsportscapping.php?capper\/capper\/302\/Ben%20Burns\/AF23_15\">***GET OUT YOUR BROOM*** 3-GAME &#8220;ULTIMATE&#8221; REPORT! $25<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ben Burns is already off to a 2-0 start to the month with his NFL picks this month.
