Miami hasn’t won at home dropping their first 3 but hasn’t lost on the road and will try to make it 5 consecutive road wins when they face the hard hitting Ravens led by linebacker Ray Lewis. “It’s a hard way to do it, but we’re doing it – and coming into these environments,” Sparano said of the Dolphins’ road success. “This team really does a good job. They’re a resilient bunch of guys.” Stanford head football coach Jim Harbaugh led his Cardinals to a big win last night now its lil brother John’s turn to lead the Ravens to a big AFC win. The Ravens uncharacteristically gave up over 500 yards and Lewis had to strip the ball from a receiver for them to win. “What we said in the locker room is a win is a win,” coach John Harbaugh said. “I’m not going to stand up here and say that we played well. We obviously had some things that we didn’t do very well at all.” The odds makers at JustBET have the Baltimore Ravens -5 point favorites at home against the Miami Dolphins.
