00:00All right, so now another division game coming up this weekend is the Ravens and Bengals.
00:07The Ravens playing great football, Cincinnati to date, you know, Mike, they haven't stopped
00:12anyone.
00:13I think that's why normally this total, you'd see low forties, it's all the way up to 48
00:16and a half as the Bengals couldn't even stop Carolina last week.
00:19Will they be able to slow down Derrick Henry and the Ravens at all in this game?
00:23They're two and a half point favorites.
00:25I think the more germane question, honestly, Craig, is can they slow down Lamar Jackson
00:29because they never have.
00:32In Lamar's time there in Baltimore, playing against the Ravens, excuse me, playing against
00:38the Bengals a couple of times a year.
00:39Now he's missed games and Cincinnati has generally taken advantage of when he's been absent.
00:46They've beaten a lot of backup quarterbacks wearing Ravens gear.
00:50But when Lamar's been in the game, Ravens are eight and two and they put up some massive
00:54scoring numbers, 49 points, 38 points.
00:58It does not bode well for the Bengals at all in this game with how wrecked up their
01:03defense has been generally, how injuries have impacted that as well.
01:09It's a really concerning look for the Bengals this weekend.
01:13Now, the line is not big, so it's sort of like a reminder.
01:18Never think that something is a sure thing in the NFL, like the Steelers go into the
01:23Colts with the defense was statistically poor and then all of a sudden they can't score
01:28in the first half.
01:30Things change in the NFL very quickly, but my goodness, the Bengals have got to get going.
01:36This is a challenge that they've frankly rarely met in the past.
01:40Eighty percent of the time when they've played Lamar, they've lost.
01:44This is going to be a real hard one for them.
