The Ravens are coming into this game with a 2-2 record this season after starting the season 0-2. They have won their last 2 straight games and have been dominant in those wins, beating the Cowboys 28-25 in a game that they were leading 28-6 at one point and coming off of a 35-10 win against the Bills who were undefeated going into that game. They are going up against a Bengals team that is 1-3 this season and after starting the season 0-3, they are now coming off of their 1st win of the season over the Panthers. They won that game 34-24 on the road and that is going to give them some confidence coming into this game as this is their 1st division game of the season and they are still right in this AFC North race with a win here at home. Their defense has not been good this season, allowing 62 total points in their last 2 games alone, but their defense rose to the occasion when they played the Chiefs earlier this season and they are going to do the same in this division battle. Their run defense has not been great so the Ravens will have success on the ground, but the Ravens have also struggled more to defend the passing game and that is something Joe Burrow will be able to attack here. Joe Burrow has been on fire in the passing game this season and he is going to be able to move the ball against this defense. The defense has been a problem for the Bengals, but they stepped up against the Chiefs and they will step up for the team that was the number 1 seed in the AFC last season. The Bengals will also be ready for an all out shootout in this game if need be as this is a must win game for them after their awful start to the season. The Bengals will cover the spread in this game.
