The Baltimore Ravens will play host to a familiar foe in the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 7. Although, these aren’t the same Bengals of recent years.
These Bengals enter with a 4-2 record having won three of their last four games with their only loss in that time being an overtime defeat at the hands of the Green Bay Packers.
The Ravens, however, are on a bit of a streak themselves. After a disappointing loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1, they’ve rattled off five consecutive wins.
It hasn’t always been pretty along the way, but the Ravens have managed to remain unbeaten in that time and they’re coming off their most complete performance of the year in a dominant 34-6 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.
Who will win in this highly-anticipated AFC North showdown?

Ravens vs. Bengals Prediction Week 7
The Ravens have dominated this one-sided rivalry in recent years as they enter with a 5-0 record with Lamar Jackson under center. But again, this is the best Bengals team that Jackson has seen in his time in Baltimore.
Joe Burrow is the real deal. The offensive line has shown signs of improvement. And they have one of the most talented receiving corps in the NFL with rookie wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase perhaps the frontrunner for Offensive Rookie of the Year.
This is a good team, one that would surge to first place in the division with a victory. The Ravens must bring their A-game if they want to emerge as the victors.
They’re coming off an absolutely dominant display against the Chargers, and if they play anything like how they did in that game, they should be able to comfortably defeat their opponents in Week 7.
If Jackson comes out firing and bounces back from a lackluster (by his standards) performance a few days ago, the Ravens will win this game. I think that’s exactly what happens.
