We may lose, but it won't be a blow out. We may win, but it won't be a blow out. We've played them very close ever since Mike McDonald has been their DC.
The last 4 times we met the Ravens, the margin has been 3 points, 7 points, 11 points (this was the coinflip game) and 2 points.
If you go back to 2021, we blew them out both times, but that was their defense being non-functional, which won't happen anymore.
In week 2, we lost 27-24 when Burrow was on a bum leg, and Chase had not gotten going yet. That, to me, is a good omen for this game.
If we truly believe Burrow is back and if we believe Lou rights the ship after being embarrassed yesterday, I think we can pull off a win here.
Especially since the Ravens are coming off of an AFC North game, whereas we are coming off an AFC South game. One is significantly more physically punishing than the other and, on a short week, I think that matters.
Let's call it 27-24, Bengals.
Our season kind of depends on it.
