Baltimore Ravens vs Cincinnati Bengals
Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Baltimore Ravens vs Cincinnati Bengals is a AFC North divisional clash between two teams that know each other cold. Our model leans Baltimore Ravens's way (67% to 33%, BAL -2), but Cincinnati Bengals are live enough to make it interesting.
Tactically, Baltimore Ravens will want to lean on record-setting rushing to attack Cincinnati Bengals, whose offensive line is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Cincinnati Bengals's cold-blooded QB could punish Baltimore Ravens if pass-rush depth goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, John Harbaugh and Zac Taylor, to script around exactly that battle.
Keep an eye on Lamar Jackson (QB) and Joe Burrow (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. With Ravens at home, the model already bakes in roughly a field-goal's worth of home-field edge.
