BWI is a very commonly delayed flight, believe me, I work it all the time. Do yourself a favor and take the one before it.

An extra hour or two in the airport is far better than an extra day in Newark.
Yes, I don't feel like I win a prize by connecting to the last flight of the day.

Totally undue risk, if you care about getting to your destination.
