2. Turnovers will boost the Ravens:

The Baltimore Ravens have seen defensive turnovers make a big difference in their four game winning streak. Marlon Humphrey forced and recovered a fumble against the Steelers. Humphrey had a pick against the Bengals, that Josh Bynes tipped to him. In Seattle, Marcus Peters and Humphrey both scored defensive touchdowns. On Sunday Night Football, Humphrey had a scoop and score against the Patriots and Earl Thomas had a timely interception. The Ravens defense is starting to hit it’s stride and they get a rookie quarterback? Sign the Bengals up for a box of turnovers.

Ryan Finley has some potential at the quarterback position, just don’t forget that he was a fourth round pick. The N.C. State quarterback is going against the Baltimore Ravens in his first start. The Ravens just gave Tom Brady and Russell Wilson trouble. I think it’s a stone cold lock that the defense will force Finley into at least one turnover. When the Ravens win the turnover battle, they are just about impossible to beat.

The Bengals won’t ask too much of Finley and they will protect him to the best of their ability via the game plan. My question is simple: What happens on third downs when the Ravens know the Bengals have to throw the football? Don Martindale will get his defense at least one turnover in this game and it will probably be the starting agent for the Ravens momentum.
