eveland Browns Stitched Marlon Humphrey Jersey , Las Vegas wasted no time in setting their odds for the Wildcard round with the Baltimore Ravens favored by three points at home.It appears Vegas knows this next game is going to be more competitive as the first matchup placed the Los Angeles Chargers as four-point favorite. Now, only two hours after posting the opening lines, the odds have shrunk by a hook.To those who don’t gamble, this may mean nothing and feel like nothing; I certainly am in the same boat. I simply know the game is going to start 0-0 and the Ravens will need to deal with the Chargers only two weeks after beating them in LA.Speaking of odds, the Super Bowl odds have posted from OddsShark as well. The Ravens sit in the middle of the pack.I find it peculiar to see the Chargers more favored to win the Lombardi trophy than the Ravens when they aren’t even favored in their first game.Hopefully the Ravens not only beat the Chargers, but beat the odds just to rub it in the faces of those confident in the opposition. Nothing like sticking it to the non-believers. BALTIMORE (AP) — A once-promising season is spiraling dangerously out of control, and the Cincinnati Bengals can’t even agree on the proper path to turning themselves back into a postseason contender.There’s no doubt that the defense has to get better. Yet the offense hasn’t exactly been racking up the points without injured wide receiver A.J. Green.“That’s an individual that we need Youth Marlon Humphrey Jersey ,” Bengals safety Shawn Williams said.After watching his team give up more than 500 yards in total offense in three straight games, most in the Super Bowl era, coach Marvin Lewis fired defensive coordinator Teryl Austin and took over the unit.Lewis was pleased with the baby steps the Bengals took in a 24-21 loss to Baltimore on Sunday, even though they surrendered 403 yards — including 265 on the ground — to a team led by a quarterback making his first NFL start.With four losses in five games, the Bengals (5-5) find themselves lumped with several other AFC teams on a ledge, in danger of falling out of the playoff picture.“It’s a race now, and that’s what we’re here for Stitched Jaleel Scott Jersey ,” Lewis said. “It’s now a race to the finish. And we’ll be a better football team coming out of this than we were coming in. That’s what’s exciting for me.”OK, the defense allowed the Ravens to convert half their 16 third-down tries and gave up 15 first downs rushing. But the 24 points allowed compared favorably to the previous four games — 28 to Pittsburgh, 45 to Kansas City, 34 against Tampa Bay and the final insult, 51 at home against New Orleans.“It was a step forward for us on defense,” linebacker Vincent Rey insisted. “Now we have to put the pedal to the metal.”Lewis knows all about leading a defense, given that he owns a Super Bowl ring from his time as a coordinator in Baltimore. The transition from Austin to Lewis was smooth Youth Jaleel Scott Jersey , even if the results weren’t ideal.“I have no complaints,” cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick said. “I got the calls, I got the checks, everything. We were playing fast, rallying to the ball.”Unfortunately, the defense didn’t get much support from the Cincinnati offense. Operating without Green, who has a toe injury Stitched Kenny Young Jersey , the Bengals were limited to 255 yards overall and scored only one touchdown before halftime.“We didn’t come out fast like we wanted to,” tight end C.J. Uzomah said. “Whether it was us hurting ourselves or just not executing, whatever the case may be, we just didn’t get it done offensively.”Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton engineered a 34-23 win over Baltimore earlier this season and orchestrated a comeback victory last year to knock the Ravens out of the playoff picture on the final Sunday of the season.On this day, he was a pedestrian 19 for 36 for 211 yards and two scores.“A.J., if he’d have been out there, the coverage may have been different Youth Kenny Young Jersey ,” Dalton said. “But I think at the end of the day, we just got to make the plays.”Dalton sees only one way for the Bengals to turn their season around: by winning next Sunday at Cleveland, possibly one of the few teams struggling more than the Bengals.“For us, it’s all about winning the next one. … It doesn’t matter if we don’t win. We’ve got to put our focus on this week.”
