RAVENS 23, BENGALS17 The Ravens have an 8-2 record after the bye week under John Harbaugh. They’ve also only suffered one four-game losing streak in his tenure, and it seems unlikely that will happen this week with a game that is so important for the Ravens’ wild-card hopes and against a division rival in disarray. The Bengals are not the same team that soundly beat the Ravens early in the season: They fired their defensive coordinator this week and rank last, or near-last, in most defensive categories. We don’t know who will be the starting quarterback for the Ravens, but if Lamar Jackson starts instead of Joe Flacco, it’ll be interesting to see if he struggles against Marvin Lewis’ defense as much as Flacco has.
