Finally, I am back on the winning side of things. Let’s see if my Thanksgiving luck carries over to the token non-Thanksgiving Thursday game…
Baltimore (9-2, 4-1 away)
at
Cincinnati (6-5, 2-3 home)
It’s redemption time for the Bengals. Last time these two teams met, with a chance to come back, T.J. Houshmandzadeh was mugged by Samiki Rolles without a whistle. I don’t think that the Bengals have forgotten that and I think that they will be motivated to get back at their division rivals. The Ravens’ offense has been playing really well but I don’t think that they can beat the Bengals in a shootout. Their defense will have to have an inspired performance in order for them to win in Cincinnati and I don’t see that happening. Carson Palmer is playing far too well right now (three TD passes or more each of the past three weeks) and he has three top-tier receivers at his disposal. The Ravens’ secondary is good but somebody out of Chris Henry, Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh is bound to burn them. The AFC playoff picture is about to get a whole lot more interesting…
My Pick: Redemption is a dish best served in Ohio
SAFE PICK
