Would like to hear RAVENS expert, the one and only JOURNEYMAN, thoughts on this game as far as who he likes and what he thinks the line will do.
I am concerned for the Ravens sake here, I thought if the line did move it would go towards 3.5 ...I have not made my final decision, this is a tough one to really make a strong play on IMO...As it stands right now I am leaning to Cincy if anything.
The Ravens coming off an emotional win , dominating their most hated opponent , now asked to go on the road on a short week against a Bengals team that appears to be playing somewhat better football.
The first time around the bengals started the game miserably vs Balto and actually hade a decent chance to win at the end...that still is sticking in my mind....The Bengals were down 14-0 before they even blinked, and lost by 6! That game showed me something about them , they can move the ball vs Baltimore...When the Ravens struggle its against the really top passers.
As much as I don't want to see a letdown from Baltimore, it 'feels' ripe for just that.
I'm probably going to pass on the game and just hope for a Ravens win.
The Ravens have struggled on the road this year, these two teams do know each other well which usually spells close game, the only reason I 'm not saying take Cincy -3 is that the Ravens seem to be in a nice groove now offensively, they've been playing very consistently, which is unusual for them.
