This is a vital match in the AFC North as the CincinnatI Bengals host the Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals top the division with an 8-6 season record. That's the same as the Ravens record but Cincinnati are top due to the 41-17 win they had over the Ravens in October. The Bengals are fourth overall in a very tight AFC table. All the sides from fourth to the eighth pace (held by Baltimore) all have an 8-6 record. Winning the division should guarantee a top four place. Cincinnati had an important win at Denver last week, that was needed as the last two games had both been lost. 

It looked as if the Ravens were going to have few problems winning this division.. They had an impressive start to the season and went to 8-3 after a late November win over Cleveland. It's all been a bit of a struggle since then due to injuries. Three games in a row have been lost but it could have been so different. The three losses have only been by a combined points total of four points. Last week saw them lose by a point to the Packers. Three of their last four games on the road have been lost. Injuries have hit them hard and it's not known whol'll be quarterback for this match. Tyler Huntley has stepped in and not been a total success, he may struggle here if playing. Go for a Bengals win.
