The Cincinnati Bengals will take on the Baltimore Ravens for Week 15 matchup. This Bengals vs Ravens matchup features two teams from AFC North, on the brink of playoff exits even though these teams have arguably the most offensive talent.
The Bengals at this point of the season need some kind of a miracle to happen if they hope to get in the playoffs. They need every single win from here on out, the Steelers need to lose last 3 of 4, and the Ravens need to lose to the Bengals and one more team. It is way too much of an ask and their season is more or less over. Cincinnati’s season way defined by injuries, and they may not make the playoffs at all for the third-straight season.
The Ravens are slightly better off, but can still miss the playoffs entirely. Their margin for error is razor thin, and they need to win at least two more to secure a playoff spot. They have lost two in a row and are below .500 currently with a 3-5 record at home. Lamar Jackson is 5-5 for the season which is a first in his outstanding career so far.

Analysis and Rationale
Lamar Jackson over 6.5 rush attempts is a great bet as he’s had 7 games this season over 6 attempts in 10 games. The Bengals are the worst rush defense team in the NFL that allows 160.9 yards a game. We expect Jackson to be more aggressive using his legs, since he was passive the last time they faced the Ravens.
Derrick Henry over 17.5 rushing attempts is a great bet as he’s had 8 games this season where he’s crossed this threshold. The last time the Ravens faced the Bengals, Henry was only given 10 rush attempts but we believe that their offensive coordinator Todd Monken will use a run-heavy approach against a Cincinnati team that is the worst rush defense team in the NFL.
Ja’Marr Chase has had a down season with Joe Burrow’s injury earlier on, but now that his QB is back, Chase has had some explosive games. Chase had 110 yards the last time he faced the Ravens and was unstoppable. He’s a key red-zone threat for the Bengals and can most certainly get a TD especially looking at the Ravens’ 24th ranked pass defense, and 23rd ranked scoring defense.
Bengals vs Ravens Prediction
Despite Joe Burrow’s two interceptions last week against the Bills, he had a great game with 25 completed passes on 36 attempts and 4 TDs. Since his from the injury comeback he’s had 6 TDs and has been getting slowly getting back to his usual self. Looking at the Ravens’ two-games skid and their 21st ranked total offense, we believe Bengals can pull off another win.

I cover the National Football League and things cannot get better than that. I always dreamed to play football or basketball professionally since I’m built like a Running Back. But now that I can’t, since I’m technically in the “Unc” age, I thought why not pick a career in sports industry? So here I am, doing what I love, and hoping that the Commanders win the Super Bowl. I give love to players when it’s due, but can be critical about their performances at the same time. Enough about me, now let my articles do all the talking.
