Baltimore Ravens Preview

The Ravens had control of the AFC North firmly in their grasp and quickly let it get away as they blew a late lead to the Cleveland Browns.

Look food Lamar Jackson to have a big night against a banged-up Bengals pass rush.

The Bengals defense has given up tons of explosive plays this season, which bodes well for a Ravens offense that is explosive.

The Ravens need to establish an effective run game and if they do they will control the tempo of this game and if they control tempo they will win this game.

Cincinnati Bengals Preview

The Bengals will have to compensate for playing without either one of their star pass rushers on defense and that will cause a big issue on defense in this game. On offense it looks like no Tee Higgins again, but we are not sure at this point in the week.

The Bengals offensive line will need to play much better than last week and they will need to attempt to establish some kind of run game or it could be a long night for the Bengals.

Bengals vs Ravens Prediction

The Ravens edged the Bengals earlier in the season in Cincinnati. The Bengals can return the favor with a close win in Baltimore on Thursday Night Football. The issue for these Bengals is on defense as they seem to give up explosive play after explosive play, and if the Bengals start first-round draft pick Myles Murphy, this game could get ugly. Ravens 34 Bengals 31.
