Home field advantage is huge in football

I have, but not seriously. I haven't heard a compelling argument for that yet.

Is this Bengals defense 100% healthy ?

idioits....

Flacco 4-0 SUATS
13-2 HF's < 10 pts Games 1-4

Bengals: 1-6 as a Monday dog.
Dalton: 1-4-1 vs division

Bengals will be a better team in the future and Ravens will decline, just not yet....Know when to finally fade Baltimore and now isnt the time, not yet.

that's hardly a reason to back anybody. If anything only offered me 50% reliability i'd walk away.

Giants: were on a super bowl hangover.
Packers: Played arguably the best defense in football. Officiating during that game was quite atrocious.
Saints: after all the crap that went on during the offseason with the bounty scandal, im not surprised

I capped baltimore at -7.5. My line and the vegas line is pretty solid so I probably won't play tonight but if you put a gun to my head I would say baltimore. They are a hungry team after losing to my pats in the afc championship game. Ya they got some injuries in suggs and torrey smith but so doesn't cincy with dalton and gresham being questionable.

I think the better play would be SD as I have them favored by 6, just got wait a bit to see where the line moves before kick off.

Lifetime Cincy fan. No they aren't healthy on either side of the ball actually.

-The top Defensive End is out-Carlos Dunlap.
-Defensive End Robert Geathers is probable, but missed all the preseason after having his knee scoped at the beginning of camp.
-#1 pick CB Dre Kirkpatrick out.
-Backup CB Jason Allen is questionable with a quad injury.
-CB Leon Hall will start, but he suffered an achilles injury last year and while he's been back throughout the Training Camp and Preseason, those types of injuries normally take an extra year before the player is back to normal, if ever!
-CB-Adam Jones(backup) and Nate Clements(starter) aren't on the injury report AFAIK but both missed some time during the Preseason with injuries
-Back up Safety-Robert Sands on IR
-Backup LB Dontay Moch out-Violation of Substance Abuse

That's not even the biggest concern, IMO. Our defense is actually fairly deep and the OL injuries are a bigger concern for me.
-We lost FA Guard Travelle Wharton to a season ending knee injury.
-C Kyle Cook is on IR with a foot injury. They signed C Jeff Faine, less than a week ago to start at C. Clint Boling, a second year Guard will replace Wharton. Boling has limited experience.
-The other Guard is a rookie-#1 pick Kevin Zeitler from Wisconsin.
-Add to that backup RB Bernard Scott is doubtful and Benjarvus Green Ellis has missed the last few Preseason games.
