Outside of the three teams in the AFC East, there may not be another team who feels as much like a rival to the Miami Dolphins as the Baltimore Ravens. Since the Ravens came into existence in 1996, the two franchises have faced each 17 times over 26 seasons, including twice in the playoffs. Over the last 12 years, they met eight times: 2010, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2021. Sunday will make it nine meetings in 13 years.
The line for tomorrow’s game has fluctuated between 3.5 points and 4 points in favor of the Ravens, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. It is now sitting at 3.5 points, which seems about where this game should be. Given the three-point home-field advantage standard, the odds being just about even seems right. Who exactly are the Dolphins? They still have to prove themselves. The Ravens should be a better team in 2022 after injuries decimated them last year, but they are already seeing the injury bug jump up and bite them again this year. Miami has added a ton of offensive firepower to complement a defense that dominated the Ravens in 2021. Tomorrow should be a great game.
The over/under for the game is a total of 44.5 points.
