I don't have the numbers in front of me, but it seems that teams that are more desperate win more often. Obviously that doesn't happen every time or else there would be no teams losing 10 or more games a year. Also with the game being in Baltimore I can see that magnifying the Ravens emotional advantage.
But I still contend that if the Bengals a really a top team they should win this game.
The question is are the Ravens really as bad as they looked last week. It is really hard to get a full understanding of a teams strengths and weaknesses in just 2 games.
