Ravens -7

[t-wizzle]

Baltimore should be able to put the loss to Seattle behind them and take care of business in this one. The loss to Pittsburgh took a lot out of Cincy and now they have to go down to Baltimore the following week. Bengals were a nice story during the first half but they aren't really that good.

Ravens 24-10 in this one. Probably going to take them for a 3-5x play.

[t-wizzle]

Also, the Over/Under is dropping which indicates that we're probably looking at a blowout and Cincy won't be able to score.

[somachino1]

Dislike your logic here. Almost every gamr for cinci was winable. Including the steeler loss and that was without aj green for most of the game.

I also think bal bounces back but you cannot trust flacco and that offense, at all, with a historically horrible OC.

Simply put. The bengals havr been consistently competitive while bal has been consistently inconsistent.

I agree with the above poster. Baltimore has burned me twice this season, at Seattle and Jacksonville. When they want to come to play, their offense is good but when they show don't show up, man its a long sad game.

I agree. Baltimore has talent but they are they are really inconsistent. Wouldnt be surprised if Bengals win straight up.
I like Baltimore at home on thanksgiving vs 49ers if the spread is 3 points or less.

No chance cincy shows up here without having given it all vs pittsburgh. Love b-more in this spot and always like to fade bmore after big wins, but this is obv after an upset to a crap team so the play is good. 3x-5x might be a bit harsh but I like it more than hate it. def worth at least 1 unit here

[bigsmitty]

Do you trust the Ravens to bounce back and follow the pattern over CIN's consistency (with the loss of CB Leon Hall)? I'm still up in the air as I'm troubled by BAL coach Harbaugh's insistence that the passing-heavy SEA game was a good plan and they'll stick with it going forward. Everybody and their dog has to be thinking they need to get back to balanced run/pass (hello Leach...) but their stated remarks indicate otherwise. Still thinking it over...

[t-wizzle]

I just think this is a bad spot for the Bengals. They've got a young team with a rookie quarterback who was probably feeling pretty good. The tough loss to Pittsburgh brought them back down to earth a bit but I think this is the one that really brings Cincy back to where they truly belong.

[Bengals28]

Bengals own the ravens. 3-1 last 4 8-4 last 12 straight up. + 7 is a lock money line is a winner.

[Bengals28]

Your reasoning is retarded. Bengals are pissed they had so many chances to win and didn't.

[KingJD31]

take the bengals +13 in a teaser with the cowboys -1.5.........its too easy

[Goat Milk]

Bengals had a 0% chance to beat the steelers. They were losing the ENTIRE game. Not once were they in position to win. Don't make shit up

Or you could look at the loss @ Pitt as creating a must win now for the Bengals. They know they have to get a win to keep the division close and this game could have definite wild card implications for them. Lynch was able to run the ball well against the Ravens D last week and Benson might be able to do the same, if the Ravens abandon the run game they have a serious shot of losing this game cause Flacco is playing poorly and just doesnt seem to have the timing down right with his recievers. The Bengals kept it close in Pittsburgh and the Ravens are so horribly inconsistent I could see the Bengals getting a win here and def think they can cover.

What has this Bengals team ever shown you to make you think they would win or step up and play really well in a must win game? You fade young teams in those situations.

These games are usually close, since 2006: 6, 6, 7, 14, 7, 31, 3, 10, 5, 6.

Aside from that the Bengals D has played well all year long and their only loss by 7 this year was last week against the Steelers. They only lost by 5 to SF whose defense is just as good as the Ravens. They can put enough points up on the board to win games and are careful with the football.

and its more about what the Ravens have shown this season than the Bengals. The Ravens have been horribly erratic and definitly haven't shown that they are worthy of being favored by a TD against a team with a defense like the Bengals. They have struggled against teams that are good at stopping the run cause Flacco just isnt playing that well this season. The only thing I would be worried about is the loss of Leon Hall, that may help out the Ravens alittle but I still like the points.

Just like the ravens are undefeated against rookie qbs lol moron.

[fsfalcons]

No AJ Green, No Leon Hall, no chance for the Bungals

[EastSideLV]

No AJ Green, No Leon Hall, no chance for the Bungals

I hope thats what the Ravens think, they have a habit of playing to the level of their competition and relaxing during games. Simpson, Gresham can get it done with the help of the Bengals D, even easier if Benson can get going.

hey eastsidelv thats a sexy avatar ill reach under and take the snap

[djpremier36]

Ravens roll, Ray Rice gets rocking!

Well said. Bengals have a 7-2 ATS record this year. They've come to play every single game this year. Their biggest loss was by 7 and that happened just last week. The Ravens are no lock here. I definitely wouldn't be laying 7 points to that terrible run offense. Shit, if the Seahawks can win, so can the Bengals.

[dontbuythehook]

Who said we're laying 7 D3? -6.5!

[Weeton]

Ravens are steadily on the decline. They're going to implode by season's end. Cinci/Pitts take the division, the other takes the wild card. All of the Bengals losses have been by a close margin, and Pitts' offense is considerably better than Baltimore's. Bengals are #2 in rush defense, so this will most likely end up another passing game. I'm thinking Bengals +6.5 is the smart play here, even if they lose.

[reedy]

Cincy after GB play the most consistent football in the NFL. Balty on the other hand are one of the most inconsistant. This is a no play for me me.

Smart play even if you lose the bet???????

[Smogs]

The loss to Pittsburgh took a lot out of Cincy

That's a huge assumption that nobody should be accounting in there capping of this game, unless they saw Lewis and the team crying in the locker room after the game and saying they quit

[t-wizzle]

Why won't the books just move the line to 6.5?

[STAY STRONG]

Flacco sucks like Sanchez

[somachino1]

Ill probably be proven wrong and bal covers but until they go 2-3 weeks of putting up over 28 points and holding teams under 14 like they should i wont lay serious money on them.

That is all.

[face]

man this week is hard. i cannot pull trigger except jacksonville/browns under 34 and bills +3. cannot trust ravens. good luck.

[gimpy]

I think he meant when the game started and it was 0-0

[njmike]

If Rays out I can see the Bengals doing alot of short passes

[tanner40]

I'm thinking Bengals +6.5 is the smart play here, even if they lose.

+6.5 is a terrible bet win or lose.

[Seaton420]

I will not bet Baltimore ever again this season..the offense is out of sync and the defense doesnt look all that dominant. Cinci looks good this year and i think they keep it close in this divisional game. Bengals +7!

Fade Baltimore!

[t-wizzle]

Momentum just shifted in this one big time.
