A native of Cambridge, Mass., and a graduate of the University of Central Florida, Dewey joined the Review-Journal in 1999 and was the 2013 Nevada Sportswriter of the Year.

Technically, Ravens bettors didn’t suffer a bad beat in Sunday’s 24-23 loss to the Saints. That’s because even if Baltimore had tied the game in the final seconds, there was no guarantee it would’ve won and/or covered as a 2½- or 3-point favorite.
Drew Brees has beaten every NFL team except the Baltimore Ravens. The Saints quarterback is 0-4 in his 18-year career against the Ravens, who are 2½-point home favorites Sunday over New Orleans.
