TNF: Battle in the AFC NORTH

This week is book market by two great prime time matchups it kicks off with Thursday night Football the 5-4 Bengals are in Baltimore vs 7-3 Ravens an AFC north battle and ends with Monday Night Football in KC, the 8-1 Eagles at 7-2 Chiefs.

Thursday Night’s game is definitely a hard one to pick for myself, both teams coming off walk off losses Ravens awestruck by Browns 33-31 and Bengals devasted by Texans 30-27.

A division game alone, couple that with tightest division.

Last 10 years no way I don’t pick ravens at home in prime time 

Point spread -3.5 for Baltimore, which is not surprising.

However as I previously mentioned implications this division, a 2 games separates these two teams and the entire AFC north. Strongest division per record in AFC, all teams are better than 500.

And add key injuries for both squads;

BENGALS:

WR Tee Higgins (hamstring), DE Sam Hubbard (ankle), WR Andrei losivas (knee) OUT; WR Charlie Jones (thumb) QUESTIONABLE

RAVENS:

LB Trenton Simpson (concussion), T Ronnie Stanley (knee) OUT; CB Marlon Humphrey (calf) DOUBTFUL; WR Devin Duvernay (hamstring), G John Simpson (illness/shoulder), OLB Kyle Van Noy (groin), S Daryl Worley (hamstring) QUESTIONABLE

And although my head says Harbaugh (the good one, John that is) and Lamar, but my gut says Joe Cool returns on this evening and not to be too dramatic, but for this must win game.

Cincy wins by 4.
