Ravens hold Gio under 50 total yards and Jacoby Jones seals the game with a 4th quarter punt return. ~Ken Zalis
Ravens get their first defensive TD of the year on an Andy Dalton interception and continue their streak of winning by at least 7 points. ~Tyler Lombardi
With Owen Daniels out this Sunday, Crockett Gilmore gets the start and will have a productive gaming catching 5 balls for around 50 yards and a TD. The Bengals are near the bottom of the league against TE’s. Steve Smith Sr. and Adam Jones will exchange blows at least one time. Considering the way Smith Sr. humiliated Pacman in week 1 by tossing him like a rag doll, theres no way Jones will be able to keep his cool. ~Ryan Jones
Nobody rushes for 100 yards. Dalton & Flacco both throw picks as neither goes over 250 yards passing.​ Ravens win a low scoring, tense slugfest 13-10. ~Fran The Fan Vojik
Ravens and Bengals engage in an low scoring first half, with Ravens leading 10-7 at the break. Neither offense does much. Ravens’ O finds their groove in the 2nd half and Flacco throws 2 TDs (SSmith & Daniels) as Ravens pull away 27-17. ~Brian McFarland
The Ravens struggle to maintain Gio Bernard as he finishes with 100+ total yards. However a 125+ yard game from Baltimore’s rush attack which includes one TD for Forsett and one for Pierce proves to be the difference in a 21-17 win. ~Kyle Casey
If AJ Green does play, he figures to be limited. Without worrying about Green down-field, the Ravens are able to spend more time keying on Bernard, Hill, and Gresham. With the Bengals running game slowed, the Ravens will force Dalton into multiple errors. Ravens enter the game 2nd overall in Football Outsiders DVOA (4th offense, 6th defense, 8th special teams). Cincinnati is 13th overall (15th offense, 20th defense, 10th special teams). The Bengals (30th against the run) will struggle with containing the Ravens rushing attack as well. Baltimore leaves the Queen City 6-2. ~Chris Stoner
Without AJ Green to open up the Ravens secondary Dean Pees unit will press on the dink and dunk routes that Andy Dalton prefers when Green is out. When Dalton pulls those passes down his double-clutching will be costly. Elvis Dumervil will drill the Bengals QB in the back forcing a fumble that is scooped up by Haloti Ngata who trots uncontested into the end zone. Steve Smith, Sr. atones for the drops against Cincy in the season opener with 6 grabs for 100+ while Justin Forsett matches Senior nearly yard for yard. ~Tony Lombardi
The Ravens steal one in Cincy on the legs of Justin Forsett who combines for 175 yards rushing/receiving. With Daniels out, Gillmore gets not one but two touchdowns as the Ravens win 28-24. ~Brian Bower
Without A.J. Green and with a less than 100% Vontaze Burfict, the Bengals beat the Ravens, 23-21, despite losing the turnover battle. ~Mike Fast
With the Bengals beat up and the Ravens playing like the clear better team, this shouldn’t even be a game. The pressure is on the Ravens to stomp on the Bengals’ throat and take control of this division. However, Baltimore mistakes (they seem to happen in “The Jungle”) will keep this one closer than it should be, and the Ravens win on a last-second Justin Tucker FG. –Â Derek Arnold
Ravens can’t convert in red zone in 1st half and only get field goals. Ravens D will bend but not break. Ravens hold on to win 24-16. ~Joe Polek
