The Cincinnati Bengals beat the Baltimore Ravens to start out this season, but they do not look like the same team going into this game on Sunday. They will likely be without star wide receiver A.J. Green and that will be a huge loss for the Bengals offense.

Green has been strong in his last 3 games against the Ravens racking up a total of 343 yards and 3 touchdowns. He will be missed in this contest by Andy Dalton. They will need to find a way to move the ball without him.

Their defense has not been as strong in the last 3 games either. They have a lot of different things that they need to clean up and they will need to do it quickly. Now they will be playing against one of the hottest teams in the game.

The Ravens have been dominant in their last few contests. They have been running away with wins by lighting up the scoreboard and their defense has been bringing the heat on quarterbacks. They have 5 sacks each in the last couple of games.

This game will be much closer though. These division rivals will get scrappy with each other, but in this contest the Ravens are the hot hand and should walk away with the victory. The absence of A.J. Green will make a difference and will help the Ravens walk out of Cincy with the win. That would keep the Bengals winless in their last 4 games.
