Bengals vs Ravens predictions
On the home side, Lamar Jackson remains the centerpiece of the Baltimore Ravens' offensive strategy. Not only is he expected to connect on around 20 of his 27 pass attempts for approximately 231 yards, but his dual-threat capability will also see him likely add nearly 60 rushing yards. Derrick Henry, another vital piece of the Ravens' offense, is projected to rack up over 100 rushing yards and close to a touchdown. His involvement in both the running and passing game adds a critical layer of versatility to their offense. Also, watch out for Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews in the passing game, who are set to make significant contributions, helping stretch the Bengals' secondary.
**Game Prediction**
Given the high stakes and the calibre of talent on display, this prime-time rematch promises to be as electrifying as their last encounter. While both teams have potent offenses capable of racking up points, the Baltimore Ravens have the slight edge being at home at M&T Bank Stadium and a slightly stronger overall balance across both offense and defense. Expect the Ravens to leverage their home-field advantage and a slightly more robust defensive lineup to contain the Bengals' offense and pull off a win in what's likely to be a closely fought contest. This game could very well be decided by a single possession, reflecting the intensity and competitiveness of the rivalry.
