Baltimore Ravens vs Cincinnati Bengals AFC Wild Card Playoffs 1/15/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

The Baltimore Ravens will go against the Cincinnati Bengals in AFC Wild Card Playoffs action in Paycor Stadium, OH, on Sunday, January 15, 2023, at 8:15 PM ET. For the Ravens, the 2022 NFL season was long about the next guy up.

Jackson, who is probably the NFL’s most crucial quarterback to his club given that the Ravens’ attack was constructed around both his passing and running abilities, was absent this season, but the team still managed to secure a wildcard spot.

Jackson missed the team’s final five regular-season contests, which had an impact on both their 2-3 record during that span and their overall offensive output.

The Ravens’ situation is made even more difficult by Tyler Huntley’s shaky availability as a backup. Huntley started in Jackson’s place and went 2-2, however, he was unable to play in Cincinnati for the championship game because of a shoulder injury.

Despite having minimal practice time this week, he was already throwing passes on Thursday in an effort to be prepared for Sunday night.

With Jackson out of the lineup, the Ravens tightened up their defense. Over the past 3 matches, the team only gave up 17 points per game, which gave the sputtering offense a fighting chance.

A defense that ranks third in both points surrendered and run defense in the NFL is led by linebackers Patrick Queen and Roquan Smith.

The Ravens are also third in the NFL in terms of red zone defense. The Ravens’ pass defense is one area that needs attention. As they prepare to face the potent Bengals attack, they are rated 26th in the NFL against the pass.

The total went UNDER in 5 of Baltimore’s last 6 games.
The Baltimore Ravens are 6-3 SU in their last 9 games against Cincinnati.
The Baltimore Ravens are 6-3 ATS in their last 9 games on the road.

Baltimore Ravens vs Cincinnati Bengals AFC Wild Card Playoffs Predictions 1/15/2023

The Bengals‘ missed opportunity to secure at least the 2nd seed in the AFC was obscured in all the justifiable worry and concern for the health of Bills safety Damar Hamlin.

Players from Cincinnati were visibly agitated that, should they win this week, they would almost certainly need to win in Buffalo the following week in order to advance in the AFC playoffs.

The Bengals defeated the Ravens 27-16 last week as a result of them taking out their anger on them. The Bengals will prepare once more to face the Ravens in what will be the final game of their three-game series this season just one week from now.

The Bengals are aware that they must defeat their AFC North Division rivals in order to move forward in their quest to successfully defend their AFC Championship from the previous season.

Because of players like Burrow and Chase, the Bengals are sometimes thought of as an offensive team, but Cincinnati boasts a strong defense this year.

Edge rushers Sam Hubbard and Trey Hendrickson combined for 14.5 sacks, while linebacker Logan Wilson is one of the more underappreciated performers in football.

Cincinnati is seventh in the NFL for run defense and improved over the past three weeks. The Bengals are only surrendering 87 yards on the run per game throughout that time.

With a league-low ranking of 23, the Bengals showed a little more weakness against the pass.

The Cincinnati Bengals are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games.
The total went UNDER in 4 of Cincinnati’s last 6 games.
The Cincinnati Bengals are 8-0 SU in their last 8 games.

Baltimore Ravens vs Cincinnati Bengals. The NFL pick for this game is the Cincinnati Bengals. Huntley is expected to start this game, with Anthony Brown serving as his backup, according to all available information.

The Ravens scored 49 points overall in Huntley’s four starts, averaging slightly over 12 points per contest. The Bengals scored an average of roughly 27 points per game throughout that time.

The Ravens will need to run the football hard, though, in order to succeed. They will be up against the NFL’s 7th-best running defense, which over its last three games only allowed 87 yards per game.

The NFL’s 26th-ranked pass defense, which features a handful of injured cornerbacks, will be Joe Burrow’s target on the other side of the ball.

The Bengals’ strong success rate in scoring touchdowns in the red zone mixed with the Ravens’ failure to convert red zone appearances into touchdowns further lessens the possibility of a Baltimore upset.

On the strength of one of the most explosive run-pass quarterbacks in NFL history, the Ravens created this team to win.

They don’t have enough downfield threats or good wide receivers to keep a defense on its toes. They will perish by the sword on Sunday night due to Jackson’s injury. The Cincinnati Bengals will win to a predicted score of
