This AFC North matchup will be huge for the Baltimore Ravens, but it also could mean something for the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals could sneak into a first round bye for the first week of the playoffs if they get a win. The Ravens need to win in order to get into the playoffs and they still will need some help after that.

The Bengals have been perfect at home this season and they will be looking to finish off the season with that perfect record. They will ride behind A.J. Green and Andy Dalton on offense and will trust in the defense to stop Ray Rice and Joe Flacco. These games always are close and should be a battle till the end.

Prediction:

The defending champs have their playoff lives hanging in the balance and will be giving it everything they have in order to get into the playoffs. The Bengals are a strong team and if Andy Dalton is on his game then they should walk away with this victory. I expect Dalton to be playing well at home to end the season.

Ravens 23 – Bengals 27
