Bengals at Baltimore

44 pts   Ravens -1.5

Bengals Defense:

97.0 yards per game rushing

203 yards Passing but 4 td’s

Don’t like the Ravens run game, Las Vegas says they score 3 td’s, my guess is short passes, probably to Crockett Gillmore.  Last week, Gillmore had  5 receptions  for 88 yards and 2 td’s vs Oakland.  He was targeted in week 1 vs Denver.  The TE looks like where The Bengals are most Vulnerable.  Crockett Gillmore should have a productive day.  Projection: 7 for 78 and 1 TD

Baltimore Defense:

250 yards per game passing plus 3 TDs

83 yards per game rushing / 1 TD

The Ravens Run Defense is good.  That, paired with the fact that it’s impossible to predict the workload for Jeremy Hill or Gio Bernard this week, is enough to make me skip the entire situation.  Gun to my head, I’ll play Gio, but that’s because he is cheaper than Hill. 

Ravens Secondary looked TERRIBLE against Oakland last week.  Michael Crabtree had 9 catches for 111 yards and 1 TD, and Amari Cooper had 7 catches for 109 yards and 1 TD.  I think this will be AJ Greens first BIG game of 2015.  The Bengals will look at what Oakland did last week and attack with their WR’s.  AJ Green might be an elite WR this week.  Projection: 10 Receptions, 143 yards, 1 TD
