Rotoworld Bet Best Bets

Drew Dinsick (@whale_capper): Baltimore Ravens ML

The Ravens begin their 2025 campaign as the No. 1 power-rated team by my numbers; even more impressive, there is a meaningful gap between them and the No. 2 team right now in Philly. The Bills obviously have a Top 3 QB which gives their offense a high floor, but the defense has taken a step backwards which clear issues present in the secondary at key positions. It is reasonable to expect the full-strength Ravens (albeit without Likely) to take advantage of the Bills Defensive weaknesses and put pressure on the home team in Primetime Week 1. Fair for me is Baltimore as a small favorite of approximately -120.
