This is a 10* AFC NORTH GOW on the Bengals.

Baltimore started slowly last weekend, and then it pulled away for a comfortable 25-9 win and cover as a 9.5-point favorite in Week 1.

Now on their first true road game of the season vs. a division opponet that was humbled 24-3 in Week 1 on the road in Cleveland, my advice here is to NOT read too much into the results of either of these sides.

Overreaction to Week 1 results is something the bookmakers always try to take advantage of. The Ravens had plenty of issues against a really weak team in Houston.

The Bengals clearly have issues of their own as well, but I say Joe Burrow and company make the necessary adjustments and find a way to post a bounce-back effort here at hom in Week 2 of this important divisional contest.

Lay the points, the play is CINCINNATI.

Good luck, NP
