I predict Bengals look better and take care of business in The Jungle.
Bengals don't play starters in preseason, and the problem with that is they looked preseason football in Week One, in the rain at Cleveland where Bengals have not been winning lately. OK, the starters knocked the rust off like a preseason game, but sadly the loss counts. Still, I look for Bengals to be sharper and better this game in Cincinnati
So Bengals WIN Home Opener in THE JUNGLE.
JK Dobbins has only played 9 games across 2+ seasons now. Team still had been plenty competitive without him.
Ravens have a good run defense and Bengals aren't a running team, so it will come down to if Burrow and pass catchers can carve up their secondary again like in recent games past.
Hopefully an overreaction on my part, but the offense looked the worst that I've ever seen it. I know the weather, Burrow's lack of practice, and all that factored in, but I'm still kinda worried.
I feel gross saying it, but Ravens 21-17
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
