What They Are Saying About the Ravens After Week 1

The Ravens' 47-3 season-opening win not only showed the instant connection between Joe Flacco and his new weapons but could also prove valuable for Thursday night's early battle for first place in the AFC North. Baltimore was able to rest many of its key veterans, which is big on a short week. Flacco hit each of the free-agent wide receivers -- Michael Crabtree, John Brown and Willie Snead IV -- in the end zone. It's the first time Flacco has thrown three or more touchdown passes to his wide receivers in the same game since October 2014.-- Jamison Hensley, ESPN

What They Are Saying About the Bengals After Week 1

The Bengals are going to have growing pains as they work with a young roster. The linebackers weren't great as a unit with Vontaze Burfict out, and the defensive-line rotation wasn't very effective against the quick passing game of Andrew Luck. But they made enough plays to win, which could bode well for their growth. -- Katherine Terrell, ESPN

What the Line Should Be

The Power Ratings indicate the line on this game should be Baltimore -1, so it is right on the money.   So it would probably be wise to bet the Ravens.

Who the Public is Backing

78% of the spread bets were on Baltimore, now at -1 at some books that have moved off the PICK'EM as this was going to press.
