Its a great situational spot and cincy plays well vs balt but the two rosters are not even close. Cincy defense is trash.
The books will be needing cincy for sure.
Yes, the defensive line is especially worrisome for the Bengals
They are going to bring back 2-4 defensive linemen though, and they are going to need each one to contribute. Every else is a result from their lack of production there outside of Hendrickson -- who appears to be ok after a neck stinger
Baltimore just has a tendency to lay eggs offensively now and then, and they may after a momentous win like that against Buffalo -- even though this is a divisional game that they should be juiced about
It seems like Lou can scheme the defense to play better against tougher competition -- that's why you see the success against teams like the Chiefs and Bills. He has played Henry OK, sans a few big plays (and last game was not great last year)
I just think the offense for the Bengals is pretty lethal, and going to give Baltimore problems. Burrow is healthy and playing well; the WR drama seems to be behind them. They have good tight ends, a good running game, and above all - A GOOD OFFENSIVE LINE
It may need to be higher scoring. Total is like 50 I think -- pretty high for an AFC North game. I trust the Bengals at home to find a way to win and keep moving in the right direction
