What a way to kick off the Monday Night Football series with a divisional grudge match between the Baltimore Ravens vs Cincinnati Bengals. For the Bengals it will be critical to set the tone for the season by coming out at home and proving that they are a playoff team by beating the Ravens in their backyard. The oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com have the Cincinnati Bengals -2.5 point home favorites.
The Bengals have won 4 of the last 5 from the Ravens but will the addition RB Willis McGahee be the difference that turns the tide for Baltimore? If Baltimore’s questionable O-Line can open up some holes for Willis, QB Steve McNair can work the play-action and do some damage through the air. If this game turns into a low scoring affair the Ravens will win this game. Online betting giant Bodog has the Baltimore Ravens +3 points as a road underdog.
Cincinnati will try to do what they usually do and blow away Baltimore with their extrodinary offense. The Bengals receiving tandem of Chad Johnson and T.J Housmandzadeh have burned the Ravens secondary in the past two meetings and things don’t look to get any easier with Ed Reed and Samari Rolle banged up. To help the secondary look for the Ravens bloodthirsty front 7 to blitz the Bengals ordinary offensive line from every angle.
If Bengals All-Pro RB Rudi Johnson can’t find running room against Ray Lewis and crew, Carson Palmer will have to win this game with his arm. One thing about this game is certain: both of these teams will play their hearts out. In the Bengals vs Ravens series the Home team has been 11-5 ATS in their last 16 meetings.
