The AFC North Champion Bengals (12-4) still have a bad tase in their mouth from last year’s three-point Super Bowl loss to the Rams, but this year’s team has done everything in their power to make sure they get another crack at hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.
Quarterback Joe Burrow was again a top-five quarterback with a passer rating over 100 while also leading the NFL’s 8th best offense in both yards-per-game (360ypg) and points-per-game (26ppg). The 26-year-old was helped by wideouts Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins who both posted 1,000 yards seasons for the second straight year.
The Ravens (10-7) are getting creative at quarterback this week. With 2019 MVP Lamar Jackson still recovering from a knee injury that he suffered in Week 13, Baltimore will reportedly use both Tyler Huntley and Anthony Brown under center tonight. ESPN reported the news Sunday morning.
Huntley made four of the Ravens’ last five starts going 2-2 and throwing two touchdowns and two interceptions. Huntley was dealing with a shoulder injury, but did resume throwing this week. Rookie third-stringer Anthony Brown started last week against these same Bengals and threw two picks in his first career start as Baltimore took a 27-16 loss. With Jackson in the Ravens' lineup, they average 27ppg as opposed to 17 ppg without him.
The Action Network now has the Bengals up to a 9-point favorite against the Ravens. The Ravens are making their making their 10th playoff appearance in 15 seasons with John Harbaugh as their head coach.

The more comprehensive package comes from fuboTV, as it has all five of the main channels you'll want: CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC and the NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.
