NFL Underdog Pick Week 1
September 8th 2017 -
Special K
Baltimore Ravens (+3) at
Cincinnati Bengals
All the so called experts are praising the Bengals this year. ESPN says the
Bengals will be the 5th seed in the playoffs this year and have one of the
easiest schedules. I'm not buying it. Let me ask you this. Why have the Ravens
been the better team and franchise over the years compared to the Bengals? All
you have to do is look at the draft. The Bengals drafted a wide receiver and
running back in the first two rounds. The Bengals did nothing to address one of
the worst offensive lines in football. Meanwhile, what did the Ravens do in the
first three rounds of the draft? selected 4 defensive players (CB, 2 OLB, & DE).
Enough said.
The Ravens depth on the defensive side of the football is amongst the best in
the NFL now. The front seven is stacked and the secondary has gotten better with
the addition of Brandon Carr. Jimmy Smith is healthy again as well. Defense wins
in the bruising AFC North and the Ravens will take this underrated defense into
Paul Brown Stadium and come out with a win to spoil the Bengals home opener.
Take the Ravens and the points
