Ravens vs. Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals have gone from being considered one of the best teams in the league early in the season to struggling hard in just a few short weeks.  Last week they were shutout 27-0 by the Colts.  Where as the Ravens have slowly ascended to being the power team in the AFC North.

This is a division matchup and coming off of a blowout I think the Bengals will perform much better in week 8.  However, the Ravens are in a groove and will look to avenge their week 1 loss at home to the Bengals and I think they will.  These teams are headed in opposite directions and the Raven will get the win.    NFL Picks
