O/U (42)

The Baltimore Ravens (3-1 SU, 3-1 ATS, 3-1 O/U) will undoubtedly be in a foul mood when they host the Cincinnati Bengals (3-1 SU, 2-1 ATS, 3-1 O/U) in an NFC North division matchup at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday at 1 PM ET.
The last time these teams met was in 2006, when the Bucs needed the fourth longest field-goal in NFL history to edge the Eagles. Tampa Bay will need all sorts of miracles on Sunday when they face the Eagles again as McNabb and Westbrook return from injury.
The Raiders continue to be the joke of the NFL, while the Giants continue to set the standard in the NFL. Talk about world’s colliding. In what was a definite romp, the Giants’ star quarterback, Eli Manning, has been sidelined by swelling in his foot and has watched David Carr take the majority of the first team snaps. The line hasn’t moved for this game, so the question is whether the Giants can cover without Manning.
The big news for the Niners recently was the finalized deal with Michael Crabtree. We won’t be seeing him this week. Instead we’re going to see the same team that has gone 3-1 SU, with their lone loss due to an improbably Brett Favre miracle in Minnesota. Both teams are playing strong this season, and in a battle of NFC underdogs, we’re about to find out which team is serious about the playoffs.
