NFL Week 1 Betting: Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens

NFL Week 1 Betting: Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens

Two teams out of the AFC North will get together in Baltimore on Sunday. Both of these teams made the postseason a season ago. The Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens will get together for a week one battle. Both the Bengals and the Ravens went 2-2 in the pre-season. Last season, the Ravens were the divisional winners, while Cincinnati snuck into the postseason via the wildcard spot, along with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Ravens struggled in their pre-season finale; getting smoked  by St. Louis. Baltimore will still rely on several of their top offensive players of a season ago. Joe Flacco is once again behind center, while Ray Rice will be their top running back option. Torrey Smith came onto his own last season; catching 50 passes; 7 of them going for touchdowns. The Ravens defense is expected to be one of the best once again in 2012. Last season, Baltimore allowed just 288 yards per game; including the second best run defense of 92.6 per game.

The Cincinnati Bengals were a surprise team a season ago. Look for teams to be more prepared for the attack of Andy Dalton to A.J. Green. The two combined for 7 touchdown receptions last year. The Bengals will look to replace Cedric Benson, who finished with 1067 rushing yards and 6  touchdowns in 2011. Cincinnati fell in their pre-season final game against Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts.

These two teams were the top two seeded teams out of the NFC. The 49ers went 3-1 in the pre-season, while the Packers split their four games.

The Green Bay Packers will once again have a dynamic offense. Aaron Rodgers is the man behind center. Rodgers threw for 4,643 passing yards a season ago and 45 touchdowns. Rodgers top receivers a season ago were Jordy Nelson and Greg Jennings. The two combined for 24 touchdown receptions. The Packers will have a new face at the running back position. Veteran Cedric Benson will get the look. The Packers finished the pre-season with a blow-out win over the Chiefs.

For San Francisco, their defense continues to be one of the best in the National Football League. San Francisco is the favorite out of the NFC West, by several games. The 49ers top offensive player a season ago was Frank Gore, who rushed for six touchdowns. Vernon Davis, the tight end is quite the threat, and finished the 2011 season with 6 touchdown receptions. The 49ers were the top rushing defense a season ago, allowing just 77.3 yards per game.
