Baltimore has quickly and definitively proven that they are the class of the AFC North in 2006. However, the Bengals have looked awful good lately, with Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson starting to shine after a slow start. I think Cincy could give the Ravens some trouble this week. What do you think?

Cincy is such a strange team. But I'm think they'll win only because they need the game more. Then again, everytime I think the Ravens are going to lose, they win.

Good defense versus good offense .. .a good offense will beat a good defense most of the time, edge Bengals!

Cincy 27
Ravens 20

Welcome to GoTeamsGo Rancher. I hope your right. I have Palmer and Rudy Johnson in various fantasy leagues and have the Bengals in pick the points pool

not true at all imo...Defense Wins Championships, and Baltimore doesnt exactly have the league's worst offense either. Where is half of the Bengals team it seems?, besides on the suspended list...

I agree, joey. The Ravens offense will have a much better time moving the ball on the Cincy D than the opposite. That's no knock on the Cincy O, which is excellent, but their defense has been porous.

best offense versus best defense .. .offense will win most of these matchups, example. ..Broncos v Colts this year .. .many more. ..good offense starts rolling, no stopping it

Final:
Cincinnati - 13
Baltimore - 7

The Bengals showed up playing defense tonight.

Cincy needed the game more. I think that had a lot to do with the final result.
