Great showdown at AFC North, between Baltimore and Cinci. starting this season with a classic derby.
This pair has been monopolized by home winners for years, with the Bengals losing 3 last year to Baltimore and taking the home match against 34-17. Surely the Bengals have taken steps in the last few years with three consecutive play-offs but have not managed to go any further. Dalton is waiting for a lot of things and this year he also signed a new contract, with the team having a pretty good trunk in the defensive field (19 points accepted last year). This time I expect the Bengals to make a regular regular season and will want to get into the right here.
Ravens disappointed last year after conquering the Superbowl. Team without explosion and more relied on defense. There were problems for the first match with the team going down with -2 running backs, good Rice and Bernard if they played will be far from 100%. Flacco, who likes great passes, will have to change a little this year as he has a new offensive coach who prefers the nearby passing game.
Quite a split pair with time and Ravens being ahead of 18-17 in a match from 92 'and then an independent seat, with both opponents as we said to exchange wins at home.
The two teams have not changed very much, but this rather works in favor of the Five. here since last year's games showed better image than Ravens and I think it's a group with more thirst for discrimination. Also consider a more dynamic and youthful defensive line which can control the evolution of the match and get the upper hand here in a match that will be quite tough. The Ravens are always strong in the home but little is the absence of the running game today and a little premiere I think makes them more vulnerable than usual. In -1 with -2 the Ravens favorite line shows that it will be a closed match and maybe ambiguous, in today's match I give a small lead to the Bengals and think it is good timing for an away win in a difficult home after years. With Bengals on a money line here, with the best price offered by Paddy Power @ 2.10.
