Hard to believe the Bengals are still having trouble selling out this game.  Win and their in!  What are the fans waiting for?

Early lean on Under..  A grind it out rivalry game.  Waiting until later in the week for weather forecasts. 

BAL  -1.5 (1u) - A Raven loss will mean they'll be on the road in the playoffs where they have been having troubles, so there'll be plenty motivation to win. I'll fade the Bungles just as their fans have and besides they're not as good as their record indicates. SCORE: Ravens 24-Bengals 21.

i'll take the "RED RIFFLE at home.

Cinci - you had a good run in a year where no one expected anything from you. Good job all around.

You just gotta think Baltimore wins this, right?

i wanna take the bengals so bad but it seems like they always dissapoint against the good team.. I think the ravens right the ship here on the road and shoves it up everyones ass saying yes we can win on the road.  at the end of teh day i just think the ravens are the better team. Im going with the ravens

My greenbacks are on the Ravens and to be honest, with the line so low.....I think this is an absolute steal.  Cincy has had a great year with a rookie QB and WR but the reality is......the playoffs start tomorrow for both of these teams and I'll take the Ravens D against Dalton.  If he proves me wrong I'll tip my cap but I just think the Ravens roll here.  GLTA

I like the ravens here even though betting on flacco is scary. Boldins out also, hence the line being what it is, i definitely wouldn't call this a steal, cincinnatti has huge motivation, it's a sell out, and could be a  very tough game. Still given the following weather:

I expected to see this line move in Balt's direction and it ends up going towards Cincy.  Then I started thinking of some of Balt's road losses.......San Diego........Seattle.......Jax!!!  Then I started thinking of some of their home wins........Cleveland by only 6.........Cardinals via big comeback..........

Fuck it I'll take Bengals.

They also beat arguably two of the best teams in the league on the road in Pitt and San Fran.  Maybe the prognosis is they win the big ones.  Hate the line movement though.  Fucks with my head.

Actually San Fran. game was @Baltimore. They do struggle on the road. This is a hard game to cap with both teams having a lot to play for. Cincy hasn't been great lately losing 4 of their last 7 and their only wins coming against St. Louis, Cleveland, and Arizona. Baltimore does suck on the road though. I think I'm going to tease Baltimore cause I could see Baltimore winning by a couple TD's or losing by  FG but don't see them getting blown out.

Waiting a little longer hoping it bounces to the full 3 if not locking in Bengals and buying the hook.   Ravens blow on the road No Boldin this time.  Bengals at home with a chance to either make the play offs FINALLY or pack up the season...I'll take my chances they keep it withing a FG in there house with there season at stake...BOL to all Lets start year off scraping the books!
