ugly game. 17-16 Bengals with both teams advancing to the Playoffs.

The Ravens are not good on the road. Their defense is in the bottom third of the league. Sounds to me like an opportunity for a big day IF our offense shows up.

28 to 7 Bengals .... maybe worse.

Bengals-31


Ravens-9

The defense doesn't rest and certainly doesn't bend anywhere near the redzone. Flacco is a huge joke on the road this year. We get to be the last team to laugh in his face. Geno will do so up close and personal with another 2 sacks. Dunlap gets another sack fumble. I see Burfict pulling off his first NFL interception. He's had some close calls and now he's due.

Dalton gets the offense rolling thanks to great field position by the above turnovers and a long punt return by Jones. Green gets a TD off both a fade close to the goal line and 40+ bomb down the sideline. Marvin Jones gets the TD he couldn't come down with last week. Green-Ellis picks back up with 112yds on the ground and a score early. Brown kicks a 45yd+ field goal at the end of the first half.

Ravens fold early and cry for 60 minutes. Bengals stay hot. Win first playoff game next week against whoever. Bengal nation rejoices.

Steelers go to Baltimore and beat them without Big Ben!!!
Philly goes to Baltimore and beat them!!

Any given Sunday!

How did Pitt beat Baltimore at home without Big Ben? DEFENSE!!

I'm not going to make a prediction for Sunday's game but I will only say this! Baltimore will not be facing the same defense they did in week 1 of the season!!

Baltimore was at Philadelphia Week #2.

close game I think!

Ravens 14

and the Bengals should play their starters as they see fit, the defense has earned time off should they want it but the offense needs this game, Dalton has turnovers in each of his last 4 games and the Offensive Line has allowed at least 5 sacks in each of their last 3 games, and with the Ravens not wanting this game, the Bengals can simply win this game by exploiting the matchups of their starters against the ravens backups, they dont need to exert themselves for 60 minutes like they would in the playoffs, just play 2-3 quarters and refine their struggles and enter the playoffs with some stability on offense

My exact thoughts on this game. The only reason i have it close is they start Gradkowski
and not Zac Robinson in the 2nd half. If Robinson was the guy i would predict us winning
by a bigger margin.

I think our defense will win this game..they have been on a roll!

Hopefully, the offense does get a boost though..
