Cincinnati at Baltimore
Time: 1:00 PM (ET)
Network: CBS
One of the most under-the-radar games this weekend is the AFC North showdown between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Baltimore Ravens. Both teams have some of the most exciting offenses in all of the NFL, but the Bengals will finally be seeing the return of their defensive tackle Geno Atkins, who had season ending ACL surgery last year. With wide out A.J. Green and running-back Giovani Bernard serving as Andy Dalton’s two biggest targets, it’s hard to not pick them in this one.
Awkwardly, we expect the Bengals to be a better team this year, but we’re leaning more towards the Ravens this year due to their experience and most of all being a home game. With Gary Kubiak serving as the new offensive coordinator for the Ravens, we expect Joe Flacco’s play to see a shock charge beginning week one.
UPDATE: Bengals 27 | Ravens 16
