OUR PREDICTION: The Bengals enter today’s game severely banged-up. A.J. Green is out indefinitely with a hamstring injury, Gio Bernard is out for the season after tearing his ACL, and linebacker Vontaze Burfict is questionable with a neck injury. At least Andy Dalton, Rey Maualuga and Brandon LaFell are all probable, but they still graced this week’s injury report. The Ravens are having issues offensively but their defense is outstanding and should shut down what remains of the Bengals’ offense. Dalton doesn’t have much to throw to in the passing game and if Baltimore takes away Jeremy Hill, it’ll be difficult for Cincinnati to keep the Ravens from pulling away in the second half.
