Thursday Night Football this week features the Ravens travelling to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals. The game is literally set at Pick'em. I'm not going to bother giving a side to this one because I can see either team winning it but I'll make a case for both teams and let you decide who you like.
Take The Ravens
The Ravens looked great the entire game as they stomped the hapless Bills at home 47-3. Even this quick a turnaround may not affect them that much because they didn't need to expend much energy in their Sunday game. Their offense looked great and their defense looked great. Or were the Bills just that bad? Either way, they should be fresh for this one despite playing only 4 days later. Meanwhile their opponent had to fight back in the 4th quarter to claim a victory against the Colts so they'll be gassed. Not to mention this Bengals team beat the Ravens to end last season to keep them out of the playoffs. They'll be looking for revenge in this one. This all adds up to a Ravens victory!
Take The Bengals
The Bengals may have been down the entire game on Sunday but they ultimately came back and won it. That means they have all the momentum while their opponent slept walked to a cake victory against the worst team in the league. Wait until those Ravens face some real competition! They also get this game at home and it's their home opener so the crowd should be really into it. Not to mention their up against a hated division rival. The Bengals were also able to knock the Ravens out of the playoffs last season. Which means they have them figured out and are sure to win again!
Flip A Coin
I seriously don't have any feel for this game either way. No result would surprise me here. This is a division game and strange things can always happen.
My Pick: Who Knows?
