What looked like an easy payday for Ravens’ bettors turned into a nightmare on Sunday when the Arizona Cardinals pulled off a late game surge to cover the spread, ending the game in a 31-24 loss to Baltimore. 

The Ravens held a 24-7 lead early in the fourth quarter, and it looked as though Vegas would have to pay out as Baltimore was the clear favorite at -9.5.

However, the Cardinals would respond shortly after with a nine play, 75-yard drive, and tight end Trey McBride would score a 17-yard touchdown. Quarterback Joshua Dobbs would rush the end zone for a successful two-point conversion.

Gus Edwards would give bettors the reassurance they needed with his third and final rushing touchdown to give the Ravens a 31-15 lead with under three minutes remaining. 

Then, the Cardinals did the unexpected and responded with a meaningless touchdown by Marquise Brown with just a little over a minute remaining. A successful onside kick recovery allowed Arizona to cover the spread with a 47-yard field goal.
