Bengals vs Ravens Prediction
I’ll take a stab on the Bengals here, though I wish the line were a little thicker. Cincinnati was able to power past a struggling Dolphins team in their last outing, bagging 307 total yards and 22 first downs along the way. The defense generated three takeaways but did get a little generous on third downs (7-of-13) and gave up 23 first downs. Still, Cincinnati has at least been competitive this year. Their two losses have come by a combined eight points.
As for Baltimore, they had a pretty rough offensive game in the loss to Cleveland and couldn’t get much going after the first quarter. The Ravens would finish with just 13 first downs and 235 total yards, however the defense kept the team in the game the whole way. This matchup starts a tricky stretch for Baltimore. They’ve got Cincinnati, at Buffalo, Jacksonville and a Monday night game versus the Chargers in the next quartet.
