Cincinnati Bengals vs. Baltimore Ravens Prediction
The Ravens enter play sitting a top of the AFC North with a record of 7-3.
A win tonight for Baltimore would mean a season sweep of the Bengals, and a bit of breathing room in a competitive division.
The Ravens feel as if they should be 8-2 entering play.
Baltimore dominated for three quarters against the Browns a week ago, but they could not close things out at home, dropping a heartbreaker.
Lamar Jackson has played well this season in a new-look Ravens offense.
Jackson has taken better care of the football this year, and remains one of the best duel-threat quarterbacks in football.
Gus Edwards has stepped in and performed well in the absence of starting running back JK Dobbins.
Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews have been the favorite targets of Jackson. Flowers leads the team in receiving yards, while Andrews leads in receiving touchdowns.
Baltimore has been outstanding on defense this year. The Ravens rank number one in the NFL in points allowed per game.
The Bengals desperately need a win tonight.
Cincinnati lost a shootout a week ago vs. the Texans to snap their four-game winning streak.
Despite the loss, the team remains confident that they can turn things out and find their way into the postseason.
With a loss tonight, the Bengals would fall back to .500.
Joe Burrow has been playing great football as of late. Burrow was dealing with injuries early in the year, but has looked like his old self in the last month.
The Bengals' top option in the running game remains Joe Mixon, who will have a challenging task vs. this Raven's defense.
Ja’Marr Chase has been the top option in the passing game. Chase is on his way towards another 1,000-yard season.
The Bengals will be without wide receiver Tee Higgins tonight.
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Baltimore Ravens Pick
Boyd will see more targets tonight in the absence of Higgins.
A lot of people believe that Higgins is the team's number two, but from a snap count perspective, it has been Boyd.
Boyd has played in 487 snaps this year compared to 328 for Higgins.
Boyd is second on the team in both targets and yards.
A lot of attention will go on Chase tonight, which means Boyd will get 5-8 targets.
Boyd went over this number in the matchup vs. the Ravens in Week 2, racking up 52 yards on six catches.
