The Cincinnati Bengals host the Baltimore Ravens tonight at Paul
Brown Stadium. In the 2006 season these two teams met twice and
each team walked away with a victory. Whoever was the home team
won the game. The Cincinnati Bengals went 1-4 in the preseason,
with their only win over the Colts. The Bengals have some of their
top players out for a while due to suspension or injury. They’ll
be without (LB) Thurman and (WR) Henry, due to suspension. Top (WR)
Houshmandzadeh is probable for today leaving (WR) Chad Johnson as
their only hot receiver. Carson Palmer finished last season with
one of the best offenses in the NFL, but they might be in trouble
against a tough Ravens defense. They’ll literally have no
running game against the Ravens defense.
The Baltimore Ravens bring back the best defense in the NFL. The
Ravens improved on their running game by acquiring (RB) McGahee
after he had a bad season in Buffalo. With an improved offensive
line they should be able to open up some holes for McGahee. Baltimore
did not have a very good year in 2006 running the ball. Steve McNair
will likely get the start tonight. He needs to be the McNair of
the old days, scrambling and looking for the deep passes. The key
to this game will be to run the ball a lot and keep the Ravens defense
fresh.
Bottom Line: The Bengals aren’t going to
have their powerful offense yet, they will next week. Against a
tough Baltimore defense they won’t have a running game. The
key for this game will be to put the ball in the air, but with Johnson
as the only top receiver the Ravens pass coverage will be all over
him.
Look for the Ravens to run the ball and get the WIN!

Arizona Cardinals at San Francisco 49ers

Will this be the years for the year for the Cardinals? Perhaps not
but I do like their chances especially this weekend. The Cards have
a young mature QQ that was playing extremely well last year. Matt
Leinart is not as flashy as a Vince Young but he controls the play
more and more experience that Alex Smith who still does not have
a handle running the team. The Cards have a lot of weapons this
year and options unlike the 49ers. Matt Leinart, has an awesome
receiving duo of Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin and running
back Edgerrin James to form potentially one of the most dangerous
offenses in the league while the 49ers will only rely on the run
with Frank Gore. The addition of Darrell Jackson to help out Smith
will not be enough.
Bottom Line: Arizona has won four straight and
cashed three of four against San Francisco. The Cards have failed
to 'cover' their last six in September. San Francisco is making
its first appearance on Monday night since 2003. The 49ers cashed
at a 16-5-1 clip under the Monday spotlight during their glory days,
getting the money in 10 of 13 against division foes. San Francisco
has won and 'covered' five of seven versus Arizona at home. The
favorite is 5-2 in the past seven meetings and the home team 9-5
ATS. Six of the last seven encounters have been on the high side.
The Cards have topped the total in 10 of 12 as road dogs and in
10 of 12 on the highway versus conference foes
Take the Cardinals on the spread and straight up
