When Bengals have Ball
The Ravens have been poor rushing the passer without blitzing and Joe has excelled against the Blitz this year. How Joe handles the Blitz will be key in this game.
Also Peter's and Humphrey are probably the best CB tandem in the NFL so expect the Bengals to attack the middle of the field and avoid those two guys. Sample, Mixon, and Gio are are going to have a ton of opportunities in the passing game on Sunday.
Baltimore has an elite Run Defense so for the Mixon fantasy owners don't expect a huge rushing performance from him on the ground.

When the Ravens have the Ball.
As weird as this sounds what scares me most about Jackson is his passing ability. Yeah he is a scary as a runner but when he is dialed in as a passer he is unbeatable.
1.) Pass rush discipline must stay in rush lanes and not let him out of the pocket.
2.) Cover Mark Andrews
3.)live with what he does on the ground;  He had over a 100 yards on the ground in his first game against us last season and they only scored 23 points. The other game he had only 65 yards and the Ravens scored 35(other 14 off defensive TDs).  

Betting Advise
Vegas has the Ravens as a 12.5 point favorite and 50.5 as the over under. Take the Bengals to cover the spread and take the under.

Prediction 
Ravens 24 Bengals 20
MVP- Mark Andrews 8 receptions 88 yards 2 TDs

Woah, no one should be scared of Jacksons passing abilities. Joe Burrow already has more 300+ passing yard games under his belt, and Jackson has started 29 games.
