NFL Week 11 Free Pick: Take Baltimore. The Bengals have been competitive all season but they’ve wilted against the only two teams with good defenses (San Francisco and Pittsburgh). Now they’ll be without their top cornerback in Leon Hall (out for the season) and their top receiver, rookie A.J. Green (knee). If the Ravens play like they’re capable, they could roll – even against a good Cincinnati defense. It’s when Baltimore plays down to its competition that it gets in trouble, just like it did last Sunday against Seattle. According to latest NFL trends, the Ravens are 5-1 against the spread versus a team with a winning record and 4-1 ATS in their last five games following an ATS loss. Look for a focused, determined Baltimore team to come out on Sunday and win a big divisional game.
