Ravens tomorrow
 

Anybody like the Ravens at +2.5 tomorrow? I think that the Bengals are overhyped. They still can't play defense and the Ravens seem under the radar despite what they did last year.

WTF, that seems backwards. That would be about even on a neutral field...

I don't closely follow either team, but if there's not something screwy going on I think there's a lot of value in Baltimore. What were the line moves?

As an aside, it looks like shopping gets you +3 if you want it.

I don't really like this game.

I agree that for a 13-3 team last year, the Ravens are a bit under the radar. But I think that has more to do with the AFC's 3headed monster of the Pats/Chargers/Colts than anything else. If you look up the ESPN "expert" picks for example, you'll see that basically everyone is picking the Ravens to win the division & a handful of people pick Cincy as a wildcard; so the Bengals aren't really "overhyped" IMO.

The Bengals also match up pretty well w/ them IMO. Meh offenses typically do not torch weak defenses in the NFL, especially on the road. As good as the Ravens D is, I think Cincy will find a way to score 21+. Basically McNair has to play well for them to win & I have my doubts that he will based on what I saw last year.

The Ravens are partly under the radar as a 13-3 team because they weren't as good as that record indicates. Plus they lost one of their best defenders and McNair is just another year older. I thought this line was going to be around 4.5. I like the Bengals here at home.
