My long term clients know how reluctant I have been on occasion to trust Joe Flacco with our dough. I don't need a slashing QB with 4.3 speed I do like a guy under center that has more mobility than a cigar store indian. But, with all that being said I am willing to go double star here on the Ravens against the Bengals in what should be an entertaining game. These two share no affection for one another. None. I honestly think the Ravens drafting Lamar Jackson might have lit a fire in Flacco's ass. He got his fat contract and looked pretty content for awhile. In my own opinion this Ravens club is better than most have caught up to yet. I see value in this number guys. Revenge factor in play here as well as the Ravens have not forgotten it was their rival Bengals that ruined their post season hopes last year. I suspect the Bengals will evolve as the day progresses into a trendy pick but you know how I feel about those. Not willing to go triple here, never crazy about the road team here in these crazy Thursday games but will make an exception. Double star here on the Ravens. 

Many sincere thanks as always fellas and best of luck to all of us. Enjoy the game.
