Cincinnati Bengals vs Baltimore Ravens Schedule: Odds and Point Spread, TV

If the Ravens are able stay patient offensively in the running game, there is a very good chance the Ravens score their first win in the 2015 season. They’ve never won four straight against Baltimore, which leads the series 20-18. “I think that’s one of those things where Russell has potential to be a really good center in this league, and we’re all kind of taking steps like that, where we have the potential to be really good”. However, all hope is not lost for the Ravens and they could still win the division or be a wild card.

Amerson was active for Washington’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals last week but played only on special teams after being limited to just eight snaps on defense in the Redskins’ opener.

-LT Eugene Monroe (concussion) left the Broncos game in the first quarter and did not play at Oakland last Sunday.

The Cincinnati Bengals(2-0) are coming from a 24-19 win over the San Diego Chargers in Week 2. That’s because, based on the way the schedule was set up with front-loaded road games, there’s time to recover.

With the Ravens needing a win so desperately that a loss could ultimately end their season, I believe they somehow do what it takes to pull off a close home victory. Joe Flacco has thrown for 501 yards and two touchdowns, but also has three interceptions.

The Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens square off Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium.

KIND OF: Wednesday is Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis’ 57th birthday and one “present” he received from the players was being doused with ice by defensive end Carlos Dunlap just prior to practice starting.

Instead, it has had to immediately prepare for its first home date in 29 days and the latest regular-season home opener by date, breaking the 2010 record by one day.

All the media outlets below say the Ravens are a below average team after losing to the Oakland Raiders, who interestingly still rank below Baltimore in just about media’ power rankings.

The Ravens were dealt a serious blow when outside linebacker Terrell Suggs tore his Achilles tendon in a season opening 19-13 loss at Denver.

The Ravens hit quarterback Derek Carr four times, and sacked him just once – a scramble out of bounds credited as a sack to cornerback Jimmy Smith.

“We have great respect for them, for their coaches [and] the way they play”, Harbaugh continued.

“The value of this home game and who we’re playing is important despite what our record is”.

Cincinnati could look to pick on Ravens No. 1 corner Jimmy Smith, who has given up 10 completions on 16 targets for 141 yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately, injuries and careless play have them in a hole that they need to dig their way out of. Their inability to wrap up tackles and their struggles in open-field coverage are a cause for concern.

Remember when Head Coach John Harbaugh was flagged for going out on the field and yelling to the refs in the divisional round playoff game against the New England Patriots? “When you lose one of those guys, somebody’s got to pick it up, and that’s what I’m sure that ‘s what they’re looking for”.
