    bengals as favorites

    Palmer played aweful in his opening game. I dont care that he has the 2nd most pass yards in the nfl right now. If you watched the game, plamer is not the same qb with the arm strength he once had. Most of the yards came in the 2nd half when the pats were up by so much that they played a prevent d.

    The ravens have a even tougher d than the pats. I dont see them doing anything.

      I am refusing to judge this game off of one week. I do feel that the ravens are the stronger team. Even without Ed Reed their defense can be sufficating and they will force Carson Palmer to beat them. If you feel that the Bengals are the play, you might as well play the ML.

        You along with 83% of the joe public think the exact same thing. Lets wait and see. Bengals wont torch up the score board...but they will do enough to win this game.

              Bengals 6-0 against the division last year. Easy win at home.

                The Bengals did win both games last season outscoring the Ravens 34-21.
                I agree the Ravens Defense is stifling but their Capt. Ray Lewis is listed as questionable with a foot injury. Chances are he will play but I don't know how severe an injury it is.

                  I like the Bengals, but last year is exactly that...last year. If you judge your picks based on the previous season's performance then you must give away a lot of money to your book.

                    I'm a Bengals fan... but I think the line is about right.. Baltimore should be very tough this year.

                        Ravens cant seem to score the last couple years, but they wont need to score much in this one, Palmer is slightly above average QB in the league these days because of his lack of arm strength. When pressure is applied to him, it usually goes downhill for him. Ravens or no play, Im staying away altogether.

                          I think the Ravens should be able to put some points up here. Bengals might struggle against their d.

                            I like the Raven offense with the additon of Bolden. I don't see anything special about Cincy.

                                early in the week i was pretty sure i was gonna play cincy as like you said ppl are overreacting to week 1 like always and pounding balt, but the more i got into this game the more i felt a 24-20 type game. Both teams did good things this off-season to improve there passing attacks, we already saw cincys D can be had and Balt offense looked pretty solid against the best d in football (if you forget about the turnovers that is) but they did move the ball pretty well. i know most Palmers yards and cincys points came in garbage time last week but i do feel balt secondary can be had at times. over 39.5 for me. gl everyone

                                  I do believe that Cincy bounces back strong today. They are a strong division contender
