The Ravens look awesome. In the past, Bengal's fans knew that if we took care of the ball we should win because Kyle Boler wasn't going to beat us. Joe Flacco is the real deal and now they can win passing the ball too. Palmer, Big Ben and Flacco all have two things in common, big and smart. Sorry Cleveland, Quinn ain't big and Anderson ain't smart.

 I'm pleasantly surprised that we are starting to win games that we usually lose. Yes, it's early, but a win against the Ravens could really give the Bengals a real leg up in the division. With a win, the Bengals would be 3-0 in the AFC North and heading back to Cincy for 3 straight home games plus the bye week. So far, they have played just good enough to win. Arguably, they played better in the game they lost.

OK, the first quarter of the season is over. The Bengals are 3-1 this season. That's a good start in the NFL, especially since they've played like crap! All signs point to a less than spectacular game at the Ravens, but what if it all comes together?

Here's why the Bengals will win Sunday. They don't have to!

Going home for 3 straight plus the bye week at 3-2, that's more than okay for the Bengals. With this in mind, look for the Bengals to put up surprising numbers against an aging Ravens defense. On the other side of the ball, this is the chance for our up and coming defense to jump up on the pedestal with the Steelers and Ravens. They're gonna unleash a blitz package that will make Flacco's head spin.

Last week was a trap game for the Bengals, but the wriggled out of it. The Ravens defense is about to be exposed for the old men they are. There's some new sherrifs in town and it's our time to step up and take the badge!
