A number of times during the offseason, Baltimore players and coaching staff made reference to this game. That number makes sense considering Baltimore’s impressive home-field advantage and the fact that this is a divisional game. The opening betting lines in this one favor the home team Ravens by a little more than a field goal. A controversial fourth-down call by head coach John Harbaugh was the final nail in Baltimore’s coffin en route to the loss. Baltimore held a 17-point lead heading into the half and completely fell apart in the second part of the game. The Ravens, meanwhile, are one week removed from a brutal loss to the Buffalo Bills 23-20. Now, they travel to Baltimore where they easily dispatched the Ravens twice last season by a combined score of 82-38. They easily handled the New York Jets two weeks ago and were on the winning side against the Miami Dolphins in Week 4 in a game that was riddled with controversy. The Bengals are currently coming off of two straight double-digit wins over AFC East opponents. That means that this showdown could prove monumental when deciding who is crowned the division winner at the end of the season. Both teams are currently tied with the Cleveland Browns with 2-2 records in a muddied AFC North.
