**Baltimore at Cincinnati** (-8, 40) Sun 8:15 (1 Viewer)

Wait,didn't we just watch this game? Any chance The Ravens have of an upset depends on LaMar imop. Even if he plays how much "rust" will there be?
I picked the Bills to be the Super Bowl participant from The AFC when the season started,but if I had to put money down right now I'd put it on The Bengals.
Division rivals so I think it'll be close for a bit but The Bengals have too much for The Ravens right now...

Joe Cool and the Gang- 27
Baltimore- 16
 
If Lamar plays this will me a much different game than last week. Baltimore's defense put a lot of pressure on Burrow this week. The Bengals will need to figure out the pressure especially with another lineman possibly out.
 
As a Bengals fan, I didn't want to see the Ravens in round 1. Even though I think overall they aren't as dangerous as the Chargers, I would have rather played them round 1. I hate the familiarity factor in this game especially just having played them in week 18.

I am hoping for some Ravens Bulletin board material motivation, this Bengals team feeds off that and have driven them all year. I did like the fact that the Bengals defense took it to heart about the Ravens playing dirty this past week and having some cheap shots throughout the game (at least what is being reported locally). Who knows maybe the NFL will come out with another coin flip rule. (Joe Mixon says to take that quarter, go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face Roger).

As a fan watching the Bengals game this past week, it seemed like their offensive scheme was the most basic I have ever seen them play, as if they didn't want to share any glimpse of their offense in the postseason. And Burrow didn't play his best game in week 18 either, missing quite a few throws. Offensive line is definitely an issue with Cappa going down as well, lets hope the Bengals coaches can draw up some plays similar to last years playoffs that helped get the ball out quick. 4 turnovers isn't likely to happen again, so Bengals have to take advantage of every possession and play the entire game, not just 1-2 quarters like they have been the past few weeks.

Lamar Jackson doesn't scare me this year, like he would any other year. Even if he did play, I think he wouldn't be putting his best game out there with missing that many games. Huntley gives the Ravens a better chance to win this week imo.

Offense was definitely basic. They tried to run the wide receiver screen I think 3 times and the Ravens knew the play every time.
 
Bad luck for the Bengals. Far better team but they get stuck playing these guys twice in a row and Baltimore is always tough.

Bengals will still win just will be tough.

Cats: 23 Baltimore: 16
 
Line moved to that all important -7 mark, some books last night had it at -7.5 which is even more telling of Cincy being a big favorite in this one.
 
I can see Baltimore winning this one. One of these "sure favorites" should go down this weekend. I'm thinking it's either Cincy or Dallas.

Dallas is a sure favorite? Tampa has a lot going for them: home dog, Dallas played like garbage last game, Good Run defense which is what Dallas wants and needs to do, a lot of offensive weapons to get away from having to throw at Treavon Diggs, Dallas away is a different team on grass than home turf and that isn't counting Tom Brady as that might be a minus or plus at this point in his career.
 
I really don't see how Baltimore wins this game. It's either going to be a banged-up Huntley or a rookie at QB.

I agree with the poster above who said that Cincy's game plan looked very vanilla last week.

The only shot the Ravens have is to a) run the hell out of the ball to shorten the game, b) not turn the ball over (Bengals scored 21 pts last week off of them) and put the defense in bad spots, c) pressure and hope Burrow makes a few mistakes, and d) get lucky.

O/U on personal foul penalties is 2.5. Cincy's already pissed, accusing the Ravens' blockers of playing dirty. Baltimore's chippy in their best mood.

I'm going Bengals 24, Ravens 13.
 
Line shuffled quite a bit in recent days
Bengals now -8
40/u

I'll take the over because I see Cinci having no issues putting up 24-30, more than enough.
 
Huntley is somewhat decent but this will only be “close” because the ravens defense keeps the bengals in check in the lowest scoring playoff game so far.

CIN 24
BAL 13
 
3 Playoff games involved 2 teams in the same division

Sea-SF, Niners end up blowing them out
Mia-BUF, Bills mange to hang on and win
Bal-CIN, Ravens in an uphill climb
 
Greg Roman going out the way he lived. Throwing high-risk low-reward passes instead of sticking with a dominant run game

I could really go without these between quarters coach interviews that the networks are doing this season.

That's nice of you to say but I think it's ridiculous what they ask of coaches from almost all the professional sports but football especially seems ridiculous
I could do without these cut ins and quick interviews, offer almost nothing for the viewing audience IMHO.
I'm also a fan of Harbaugh and have been for a long time.
 
Greg Roman running TE handoffs from shotgun on 3rd and 1. Why? So tired of it. YOU HAVE DOBBINS AND EDWARDS
