BENGALS at RAVENS

HANK’S HONEYS: John Harbaugh has been griping about the late starting time because it could affect attendance by New Year’s Eve revelers. Really? Makes us wonder whether Ravens can cover this big a spread. It was a surprising effort from the Bengals last week. The players like Marvin Lewis and it looks as though they’ll be playing this last game for the coach. There’s certainly enough talent on this Bengals roster if they just put up an effort (consider their last game that mattered against the Steelers) and with the added incentive of knocking a rival out of the playoffs, we think they’ll show up even if the Ravens fans don’t.

IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Bengals and the under.
