On paper, this may be a shootout.
Thank God their pass D is weak bc if we had to rely on a run game, we may as well not even show up.
I love our D as they always show up to keep us in games BUT this is the most talented, explosive and dynamic O we have played yet - by a mile.
So, the Ravens will still score 25+.
“If” our O plays uninspired and blah; and takes 2-3 quarters to wake up as it tends to do; thus giving the Ravens too many chances to score, and all the clock time too bc we don’t have a run game - this could get ugly and may be a reverse of last year.
If the Bengals play to potential: we win 37-25
If the Bengals play pedestrian and “lost” as they have most of the year w their pony-league play-calling: 35-17 Ravens
