The Bengals have the Raven’s number

The all-time season series between these two teams is as close as it gets. The series is tied at 20-20, but the Bengals have been on the winning side as of recently. They have owned the Ravens and have won 6 out of the last 7 meetings. If any team knows how to beat the Ravens it is the Bengals. The Ravens are lucky that they will not be coming up against A.J. Green. He has had some of his best games against them. Last season Green went for a career high 227 receiving yards and caught 2 touchdowns. He has been the thorn in the Raven’s side to say the least.

4 out of the last 5 have been decided by one score or less and we can expect another close battle today. No matter what either team’s record is, there is always a rivalry atmosphere. These teams meet again in January and Cincinnati is never an easy place to play. The Ravens must take advantage of the home crowd tomorrow and pull out a win.
