The Bengals found some offense last week against San Diego is a 34-20 win, but for the year they are still ranked 22^nd in the league in scoring; averaging just 21 points per game. The fact that Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco are out of the lineup does not help.

The Ravens live and die with their defense and their running game especially at this time of the year when the weather becomes iffy. Look for Baltimore to grind it out on the ground as it will not need  to do anything fancy to win this game.

The total has stayed ‘under’ in four of the last five meetings in Baltimore and in five of the last six meetings overall.

The odds makers have the Baltimore Ravens as a -9.5 point favorite with an over/under of 43.
