The Picks

This week's guest is former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.

Jamison Hensley

Ravens, 24-13

The Ravens' ball-control offense will keep Carson Palmer off the field.

Edward Lee

Bengals, 17-13

Count on the Bengals taking to the air if cornerback Samari Rolle is less than 100 percent.

Rick Maese

Bengals, 24-13

We're guaranteed to see at least one high-powered offense.

Don Markus

Bengals, 24-21

The Ravens will lose for the fourth time in five years in the Queen City because they won't shut down Palmer and Chad Johnson.

Mike Preston

Ravens, 13-10

The Ravens have a great defense, and the Bengals have none.

Peter Schmuck

Ravens, 16-13

Does every Ravens win have to come down to Matt Stover? Apparently so, but a win is a win.

David Steele

Ravens, 23-21

The trades, the upgrades, the tweaks ... and Stover saves 'em again.

Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.

Ravens, 17-16

The Ravens' big question mark is the offensive line. That's my only concern.
