Bah bah bah baaah!
Following the first Sunday of the 2012-13 NFL season, what better way to cap Week 1 than a double-dose of "Monday Night Football"? Not only do we get a double header, but we get two divisional match-ups.
The Baltimore Ravens host the Cincinnati Bengals in the first game of the night at M&T Bank Stadium at 7 p.m. ET, while the Oakland Raiders takes on their AFC West rivals, the San Diego Chargers, in the late game at 10:15 p.m.
Since there are no rookie quarterbacks making their debuts tonight, maybe that means we won't see any turnover-heavy performances. Unless, Carson Palmer or the Ravens' defense has anything to say about that.
In the opener, the stout Ravens defense led by Ray Lewis will try to disrupt Cincinnati's dynamic duo of quarterback Andy Dalton and star wideout A.J. Green. They'll do their best to make Dalton look like Brandon Weeden did on Sunday. On the other side of the ball, Joe Flacco will look to begin a breakout season. In the nightcap, we might also see the Raiders unleash running back Darren McFadden on the San Diego defense. There's also Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates trying to lift the Chargers back to the top of the AFC West.
Will the Ravens defense stay strong without linebacker Terrell Suggs? Will Philip Rivers find a new best friend to throw to now that San Diego no longer has Vincent Jackson?
