Baltimore at Cincinnati Game Preview


Why Baltimore Will Win

You don’t think Baltimore might be a wee bit fired up to play in this after losing 41-17 back in Week 7?

What’s Going To Happen

Which 8-6 team is ready to take control of the AFC North?

Cincinnati continues to be fighting its way through the season, and Baltimore just can’t seem to catch a break lately. Starting Johnson isn’t helping the cause.

At home, the Bengal defense will come up with a strong day and Burrow will crank up the two big home runs needed to stay ahead. However, it’s a Baltimore game. It’s going to be close.
