The Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals will go head-to-head in Week 1 of the NFL Games, airing on Sept. 10 at 7 p.m. ET.

ESPN will air the game live and viewers can also listen to live audio stream of all the action on Sirius XM Radio channels 92 and 93, and on NFL Audio Pass. The NFL does not provide official live video stream of the game, however, many sites, such as livenflstreaming.com, do have video streams available, but for an added fee.

The Ravens will host the game in the M&T Bank Stadium and will open up the NFL's Monday night schedule for the 2012 season.

The Ravens won the last three times they went up against Cincinnati, once in 2012 and twice in 2011. However, the Bengals surprised many by getting a 9-7 record and reaching the AFC playoffs as a Wild Card entry in 2011.

A poll posted on the official site of the NFL Games stated, at time of publication, that the Ravens have a 67 percent chance of winning Monday's game, while the Bengals had only 33 percent.

The Bengals last reached the playoffs in 1982, doing the same the year before as well, according to Fox News. The Ravens also have something to prove, after falling behind and facing a 23-20 loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game, the site also reported.

On Thursday, former team owner of the Ravens, Art Modell, passed away. Modell was responsible for relocating the original Cleveland Browns to Baltimore in 1996 and changing their name to the Ravens. The team's current coach is John Harbaugh.

The coach is 49-24 since replacing Brian Billick and he is the only coach since 1970 to guide a team to a playoff victory in each of his four seasons, according to the Washington Post.  

Whether they come out victorious on Monday night or not, the Ravens have quite a fight to put up this season - they will play eight of their 16 games against teams that made it to the playoffs last year, the publication also reported.
