Jim Feist's 20* Hi Roller Pro Football - Sunday[/color]
NFL (413) CINCINNATI BENGALS at (414) BALTIMORE RAVENS
Take: (413) CINCINNATI BENGALS (20* Hi Roller)
Reason: The Bengals (3-1 SU/2-2 ATS) have problems on defense and a weak offensive line, but they have been very competitive. They are the cardiac kids, winning in spectacular fashion with a late TD against the Steelers, then topping the Browns in OT Sunday, 23-20. That’s because QB Carson Palmer (6 TDs, 5 INTs) has been leading the charge, most noticeable in a stunning win at Green Bay, 31-24. They’ve been looking for more balance on offense to take the heat off Palmer, giving the football more to RB Cedric Benson. He rushed for 141 yards against the Packers, 76 against the Steelers and 74 against the Browns. When you realize they lost the opener to Denver on a fluke TD in the final seconds, this team should be 4-0. Baltimore (3-1 SU/ATS) is led by QB Joe Flacco (8 TDs, 3 INTs, 1,203 yards) and very good offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, who is sharp at keeping the opposition guessing. The Ravens are coming off their first loss, 26-21 at New England, despite 363 yards. A late drive could have won it, but a fourth down pass was dropped inside the 10. The Ravens defense has give up points this season in bunches and really they have been out scoring their opponents in their wins. The Bengals offense should be able to keep up here and with nearly double digits in our back pocket, we'll take a very good offensive dog with the Bengals over the Ravens.
