Somehow the 3-4 Buccaneers are favored to beat the Baltimore Ravens tonight on Thursday Night Football. Home field probably has a small part to do with it; Tom Brady is another. But the advantage probably lies with the Bucs because nearly Baltimore’s entire depth chart is listed as questionable for tonight’s game. The Ravens are banged up coming into this one and playing on short rest.
