Higgins is doubtful. Likely is out. I expect another tight game.

Likely has been a non factor of late. Seems like Kolar has had just as much of an impact and Andrews has returned to form.

Gesicki has been hot lately and TEs always seem to give us a problem. Still gotta deal with Chase, obviously. And Chase Brown can be a problem with our depleted DL.

He had 2 TDs last time against Cincy. I think it's a non-trivial loss, especially his YAC ability. But we've got weapons galore and can overcome it.

Tee Higgins is most likely out so I think it will be hard for Cincy to win this game. Obviously they have other talent but their chances of winning pretty much rely on matching the Ravens point for point and hoping for one stop at the end and the ball last.

I wouldn't underestimate their defensive line. Hubbard and Hendrickson have their way with us more often than not.

If those two are getting consistent pressure, and containing the outside stuff, Ravens offense may have to get creative. I think they still move the ball and put up points. But with Lamar clearly banged up, no Likely, and a Thursday night divisional game, I wouldn't be shocked if this was one of our lower point totals of the season from the offense.

I don't see the Ravens scoring 40 points again but I do think 30 is doable.  The question is, can they hold Cincy under 30?  It's not going to be easy without a consistent pass rush.  Blitzing is obviously not working so I hope Orr resists the urge to go into that mode.  The key might be stopping Brown from running wild.  If they can make the Bengals one-dimensional, the defense does have a fighter's chance to keep them in the 24-27 point range.  This is a really important game for both teams.

No one should ever expect 40, but the Bengals are much worse on defense than the Broncos and we've already done it at their place, it certainly wouldn't be shocking. A 20-17ish divisional slugfest wouldn't shock either.

Who's going to stop Jamar Chase from going crazy?

To me Cincinnati is the worst possible matchup for our defense. Every receiver is a deep threat and their QB loves taking shots down the field.

Over 33.5 pts for Cincy pays out 5:1

 

Chase 120+ receiving yards pays +320

 

Parlay of those two pays 15:1

I had an easy little pay out with Henry the other day.   All it involved was him getting 10+ yards a quarter.

[Ravens2006]

If the Ravens don't put up at least 34 tonight I'll be surprised. And disappointed.

[Mackus]

33-21 would not disappoint me

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Just win

[Mackus]

Just win

 

Agree, this isn't like Cleveland where a close win would be concerning.  I know their record isn't great, but the Bengals are a tough team and any win is a good day.  This wouldn't be some inexcusable loss (like the Browns or Raiders games were).

 

I think if I have to pick I think the Ravens win by a touchdown, but don't quite pull away far enough for it to feel very comfortable.

[Mackus]

Higgins and Baby Zeus both inactive.  Pretty big losses for the Bengals.

[85Knight]

I took the over. That's a big number. Let's go offense.
