The Ravens and Bengals clash for the second time in the last 3 weeks on Sunday. Baltimore lost the first matchup but desperately needs to win this one after falling to the Steelers last week.

The Ravens lost a must-win game against Pittsburgh on Sunday, drastically reducing their playoff odds. In their last two games, Baltimore was outscored 59-36 by divisional opponents, with both losses coming at home. Now in desperation mode, they face upcoming road games against the two teams they just lost to, plus a trip to 9-3-1 Green Bay and their final home game against the 11-2 Patriots. They need a win here.

Cincinnati was unable to keep up with Buffalo's offense on Sunday, but played another solid game. They have scored 71 points in the last two games, thanks to the return of starting QB Joe Burrow. The defense will attempt to bounce back this week against the Ravens. The Bengals are all but eliminated from postseason contention, but they can still get some good out of a lost season by winning down the stretch.

Just two weeks ago these teams faced off in Baltimore and the Bengals won by 18 points. The Ravens looked just as poor last week, while Cincinnati continued to gain momentum despite losing. The rematch will take place in Cincinnati, giving the Bengals an even greater advantage than last time. Despite that, I wouldn't expect as wide of a margin. That being said, the Bengals should still win this one comfortably.
