The Saints are coming off a tough OT loss to division rival New Orleans while the Titans crushed Carolina in their last game.
How many experts projected that after clinching the Wild Card in the final game of last season and peaking in the postseason on their way to a Super Bowl championship, the Green Bay Packers would be even stronger when they returned to the field this season?
It’s a battle of two teams fighting for the AFC North crown this Sunday in Baltimore. The Ravens were expected to be fighting for the top of the AFC North, but the Bengals have surprised the entire NFL this year.

Can Cincinnati go into Baltimore and pick up a key win or will the Ravens get a leg up on the upstart Bengals?

Andy Dalton was a second round draft pick, but he is a legitimate contender for rookie of the year in the NFL. Dalton has thrown 14 touchdowns and nine interceptions so far this year. His job will be tougher this weekend, because it appears he will be without star wide receiver A.J. Green. Green is listed as doubtful due to a knee injury. Tight end Jermaine Gresham is also listed as questionable for this one. Cedric Benson will be expected to a carry a heavier load this weekend. It will be a tough task for the Bengals offense as they face one of the best defenses in the league.
Cincinnati’s defense is the reason this team is 6-3 right now. The Bengals rank fifth in the NFL in total defense, and they are only allowing 18 points per game this year. Last weekend the Bengals suffered a major loss when Leon Hall tore his Achilles tendon. Hall was the Bengals best cover corner, and he is now out for the season. Adam Jones should step into the cornerback position this weekend. Will injuries start to catch up to this unit?
Baltimore’s defense has been stout all year. The Ravens defense really doesn’t seem to have any weakness at this point. One problem this week will be that Ray Lewis will likely be on the sideline for the first time since 2007. Lewis is listed as doubtful because of a toe injury. Haloti Ngata is a beast in the middle of the defensive line, and the opposition generally has to double-team him. Terrell Suggs leads the team with six sacks. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
Joe Flacco and the Ravens offense has been up and down all year long. Flacco is completing just 55% of his passes so far this season. He did come up with a huge drive to beat the Steelers two weeks ago at Heinz Field, but the offense struggled mightily last week in Seattle. Ray Rice is having another very good season in the backfield. Rice averages 4.1 yards per carry.
He also leads the team with 46 receptions. The Ravens really need to start establishing the run better than they have of late.
This is a team that would be better suited to run to set up the pass rather than the other way around.
The Bengals are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games. They are also 4-0 ATS in their last 4 against the Ravens. Since I’m getting a full touchdown, I’ll take the Bengals here.

When an established NFL contender loses consecutive games, there is a sense that a specific aspect of their game has gone wrong and that once that problem is corrected the team will carry on as a true Super Bowl threat.
It has been a circuitous route but with just 7 games to play the Raiders are on the top of the AFC West. They don’ have a huge lead but with Carson Palmer starting to show some signs of getting it and Darren McFadden eventually coming back they have to like their chances from here on out.
The oddsmakers tab the Cardinals vs. 49ers game on Sunday to be the biggest mismatch on the board. 9 ½ points is a big spread for a divisional game – or is it? The Arizona Cardinals come into the game on a two game winning streak.
Two teams heading in opposite directions meet in Chicago on Sunday with a pair of four game streaks on the line. For the Chargers, they have lost four straight games while the Bears have won four straight.
The Seattle Seahawks hope to build on what was a very impressive win against the Baltimore Ravens last week when they travel to St. Louis to take on a Rams team that is coming off a win of their own – a 13 -12 thriller in Cleveland last week!
Two disappointing teams will meet in Cleveland this Sunday. The Jaguars have picked up a couple nice wins, but the team has been very inconsistent. The Browns started 2-1, but they have lost five of their last six.

The fans in Cleveland are begging for something to cheer for, but the Browns simply haven’t played well offensively. Which team gets back on track this Sunday?

Jacksonville decided to put Blaine Gabbert right into the lineup early on in his career. Gabbert has a poor completion percentage of just 48 percent, but he has shown signs of improvement as the season moves along. He has thrown only five interceptions, and he seems to be learning the system quickly. Maurice Jones-Drew is having a good season, especially when you consider that teams are stacking the box and trying to force the Jaguars to throw. Jones-Drew is averaging 4.5 yards per carry, but he only has four touchdowns this season. The Jaguars offense averages just 12.8 points per game.
Jacksonville’s defense ranks fourth in the NFL in total defense. This is the unit that absolutely shut down the Baltimore Ravens a few weeks ago on Monday Night Football. Daryl Smith and Paul Posluszny are the leaders of a strong group of linebackers. Dawan Landry has been a great addition at the safety position. The Jaguars are allowing only 18.4 points per game.
Colt McCoy hasn’t been bad this year, but the Browns just don’t have enough weapons around him for the offense to be as dangerous as they need to be. Peyton Hillis is expected to miss his fifth straight game this weekend, and the lack of a running game has really hurt the Browns this season. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
Cleveland is averaging only 87 yards per game on the ground. The Browns wide receivers have struggled to get open all year. Joshua Cribbs is a great return specialist, but he has struggled in his time as a wide receiver. The Browns haven’t scored more than 12 points in a game since more than a month ago. Can the Browns find a spark on offense this week?
The Cleveland defense has been pretty solid this year. The secondary has been fantastic. In fact, Cleveland ranks first in the NFL in pass defense. Joe Haden is quickly turning into one of the best cover corners in the league. Sheldon Brown has given the Browns a second reliable corner who keeps the ball in front of him. The rushing defense hasn’t been good, and they’ll need to better in this one because MJD will get a lot of carries for the Jaguars in this one.
These are two of the worst offenses in all of football right now. Neither offense has many weapons at all to work with. Jones-Drew should get some yards, but I think both teams will settle for field goals frequently in this matchup.

The Carolina Panthers were the darlings of the football betting world for the first part of the season. With Cam Newton leading the charge they were bombing away resulting in a 5-1 ATS run from weeks 3-8.
The Philadelphia Eagles square-off against the New York Giants this Sunday night in front of a prime-time audience at MetLife Stadium in one of the best rivalries in the NFC East. Kick-off is slated for 8:20 p.m. (ET) and the game will be broadcast nationally on NBC.
The second half of the NFL regular season got underway last week and it proved to be beneficial to the visitors and low-scoring games. With a full slate of 16 games, 10 road teams covered against the spread and 10 games stayed ‘under’ the total. The favorites and underdogs were evenly split at eight games apiece.
The Broncos, winners in three of four, look to continue their recent surge behind Tim Tebow and his option attack. Meanwhile, the Jets are looking to bounce back from the thrashing they took at the hand of the New England Patriots last time out.
Week 10 was a good one! 4-0-0 has continued a pretty good three week run in which I have gone 9-3 ATS. Will my roll shy me away from the Big Games in Week 11? Heck no – I love the marquee matchups and so should you.
The Dallas Cowboys will look to extend their winning streak to three games while handing the Washington Redskins their sixth-straight loss when the two NFC East foes square-off this Sunday afternoon at FedEx Field. The kick-off is slated for 1 p.m. (ET) and the game will be broadcast nationally on FOX.
