Ravens vs. Bengals Prediction:
I like the Ravens to cover the 2.5 point spread on the road. I’m not going to overthink this one. The Ravens have found their way with two straight wins. The run game has been dominant and they will be going against a Bengals defense that is 25th in the NFL in opponent rushing yards per game at 145.5. Cincinnati is also 27th in the league in opponent points per game at 26. The Ravens have 13 sacks so far this season and will be all over Joe Burrow. They also have the best rushing defense in the NFL allowing just 57.8 yards per game. The Ravens will make the Bengals one dimensional which will allow the pass rushers to have an impact on this game. I like the Ravens to stay hot and get another big win.
Ravens vs. Bengals Prediction: Ravens -2.5
