Cons

- THE BLITZ projects the Ravens to call the least offensive plays among all teams this week with 62.8 plays, based on their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
- The weatherman calls for 4-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means increased pass volume, increased TD potential, and better passing effectiveness.

- The Cincinnati Bengals safeties profile as the 6th-best group of safeties in football this year when it comes to defending the run.
