Kyle Goon Ravens 31, Bengals 21, “I think that the Ravens will be able to win against a beaten-up Bengals team as long as Kyle Hamilton is able to play. (We know Trey Hendrickson, Cincy’s sack artist, cannot).” Chase will be a major contributor, even if Baltimore is able to bracket him. (Gosh, they need to tackle this guy.) But if Jackson or Derrick Henry are able to establish a rhythm against one of football’s worst defenses, that should be enough. Giana Han Ravens 24, Bengals 17. “After seeing what we saw last Sunday, I am tempted to pick the Bengals. Especially with Joe Burrow returning. However, I cannot ignore the Bengals’ losses of Tee Hendrickson and Trey Higgins. Both have had a significant impact on the Bengals’ offensive and defensive sides. I expect it to be ugly. It’s a step up from the backyard games that you might all be playing to celebrate this football holiday. Paul Mancano Ravens 29, Bengals 24, “This should have been a game that the Ravens’ offense could win… right?” Cincinnati’s defense, which is dead last among teams in terms of points allowed per game and without Trey Hendrickson, is atrocious. Todd Monken’s team will be able to lift the cloud of doubt even if Lamar Jackson has a lower than 100 percent. Jonas Shaffer Ravens 27, Bengals 24, “Joe Burrow is a big unknown, but if Kyle Hamilton is healthy, then the Ravens defense should be able to handle a Bengals offensive without Tee Higgins.” Baltimore will panic if another unreliable defense keeps the Ravens below 24 points. Chris Korman Ravens 31, Bengals 25, “It’ll be closer than you think, but the Ravens are going to keep their streak (so long as Lamar Jackson doesn’t injure another part of his leg early in the evening). Childs Walker Ravens 27, Bengals 24, “It will be a very tense evening at M&T Bank Stadium, as the Ravens attempt to hold onto first place against a team that has nothing to lose.” They’ll get enough stops and make a few explosive play to win, but it won’t be a complete performance. Brandon Weigel Ravens 28, Bengals 17. “With their historically bad defense – the Bengals only allow 156 yards of rushing per game, which is 31st in NFL – why not punch them in the face with old school power football?” Add quick hitters to the mix, as well as screen passes to balance things out. Run your win streak up to six.”
