Very touchy week 17. Some teams have a lot to play for and others, well just don't! Cincinnati is playing for 1st round bye. It all depends on Denver, but they need to take care of their own business. AJ McCarron starts for the fourth time. It will only be his 2nd home start. That matters because in his first home start he threw for 280 yrds. His road starts only just 194 yrds avg. He was not over matched last week against Denver #1 ranked defense. He is completing 67.3% of his passes and 4-2 td ratio. He will welcome TE Tyler Eifert as a welcome addition this week. They play their rival Ravens who they beat in Balt 28-24 back in Sept. Cincinnati has won the last 4 games against the Ravens and are 10 point favorites today.
The Ravens are off somewhat of an unbelievable performance last week against the Steelers. QB Ryan Mallet (signed only 11 days before the game) threw for 274 yrds and had 28 completions with a td! He doesn't know much of the offense and performed very well. HUGE difference today. Cincinnati defense is top ten and Pitt was 19th! Baltimore played their last home game against rival Pittsburgh and won as 10 point dogs. Emotional let down on the road is expected plus Bengals are better than Steelers.
Bengals are 12-2 ATS TY and 30-16 L3 years. They are 16-6 ATS home, 9-2 vs conference opponents. The Bengals are 6th ranked offense and 9th ranked defense. Baltimore is 3-7 TY and 14-22 against conference foes, while going 3-8 last 4 weeks in regular season. The Ravens will bring their 21st ranked offense into this match up. Tie in their injury report to their disadvantages and you get Baltimore is set up to have an unsuccessful trip to Ohio. Balt has nearly 20 players listed on their injury report! They do not have the leading passer, rusher or receiver suited up. They are playing their 4th QB! Baltimore is too beat up to compete against the Bengals.
