Last year Burrow was one of the worst QB's in the league when blitzed (26th) and this year he is the best. If the Raven try to deploy a similar scheme to last year it won't work well for them. The Ravens run defense has been middle of the pack and I think if we go with a run heavy offense that baits them into blitzing heavily on short and medium 3rd downs we can find a lot of success.
Defensively I'd like to see us deploy a lot of late rotations in the back end to try and confuse Lamar. We need to go ahead and scrape exchange behind the read man at all times to the read option side. If we mix that up with some safety/CB blitzes to the read side I think we can do enough to slow him down. I am playing single high on early downs and letting Awuzie play Brown one on one with Wilson on Andrews and the some robber looks inside. We are going to need the ends to stay level and not get too far upfield and the interior rush will need to show up.
I think I am going to take the Bengals in this one 24-17.
