Ravens are a 2.5 point favorite. 

ESPN's Match-up Predictor gives the Ravens a 55.8% chance of winning.

I'd love to see us blow them off the field but divisional games are always a battle.

 

Put me down for Ravens 24, Bengals 18.

Not crazy about seeing Chase get rolling a bit last week. The TD he scored was an incredible individual effort.

It's a very important game. 3-2, with Cincinnati left at 1-4, or 2-3 and tied with the Bengals.

RSR: Jackson Aims to Put Cincinnati’s Season to Rest Early

Let’s go win this game and try to get the taste of the “how to disappear completely” Orioles out of our mouth.

Harty inactive...  also Vorhees again.

Football is a season of ebb and flow.  Generally, nobody is up for 17 games and nobody is down for 17 games.  Last week I said in the game thread that the Ravens were getting the Bills at the right time.  The game had more of a sense of urgency for the Ravens than it did for the Bills and the Ravens were home.  That situation is flipped today.   This is as close to an October playoff game for Cincinnati as there can be.  Win today and they are even with the Ravens with the tiebreaker for the division.  They will still have two games with Pittsburgh.  Lose today and they are dead last in the division, 2 games behind the Ravens and the Ravens have the tiebreaker.  

 

Baltimore's running game should be able to power over Cincinnati.  If I'm the Bengals I'm playing up for the run and short pass.  Lamar has to prove to me that he can hit the deep pass.  The Ravens are going to get their rushing yards, you got to stiffen up in the red zone and hold them to FG's.   The Bengals are the exact opposite.  They aren't running on the Raven's defense.  Their game lives and dies on Burrow's arm and the WR weapons they have.  They have to put 7's on the board and not 3's.  The Ravens will eat clock and shorten the number of possessions the Bengals get.

 

It will be interesting to see what team can be the most effective with their game.  

[BSLChrisStoner]

Think you are right about ebb and flow and urgency. 

I think the Ravens will get the Bengals best shot today. 

 

I'd love to see the Ravens be able to answer that... get over .500, and have the Bengals staring at 1-4.

Ravens win this one 26-17.

Henry rushes for 125

[BSLChrisStoner]

Fun having that option available on 3rd and 1.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Fantastic start.   TD Ravens!

[BSLChrisStoner]

Well, maybe not yet.

[russsnyder]

Impressive drive

[BSLChrisStoner]

Busted play for the Bengals. 

[BSLChrisStoner]

3rd and 6, get off the field. 

[BSLChrisStoner]

Jackson flipped it out there. That could have been picked. 

[BSLChrisStoner]

Flowers with another big grab.

Hard to argue over the past couple weeks of offense, but you've got Zay, Andrews, Likely, Bateman.... and Kolar is getting so many targets?
