I completely understand why most people are predicting a Bengals loss. I truly understand the feeling.
That said, I think part of the reason we failed against Houston was we were trying to get the jump on preparing for the Ravens game. I think Zac/Brian and Lou are going to go all out in getting us this win.
It looks to me like Trey's playing but will he be as effective? I don't think it matters so much this game, because defensively, it's all about stopping Baltimore's rushing offense. According to ESPN, they are the top rushing offense in the league at 154.9 yards per game. We've clearly struggled in stopping hte run and if Hubbard is out, that makes things harder on us. But, that's where the offense comes in.
Offense will be clicking on all cylinders whether Tee plays or not. Remember, we scored 24 points in week 2 with statue Joe and his lack of mobility. We're going to see a lot of production from the TEs and I guarantee you Boyd isn't dropping a pass at all.
I think this is going to be a weird "shootout" where both teams will score on most of their drives but because the Ravens will be running the ball a lot and most likely running well, neither team will have many drives. Ravens will be the one to make the mistake that gives us the edge and Burrow will have a career-defining game.
Bengals win 27-24
