The Bengals (5-4) coming off a tough loss to the Texans in which they were outplayed on both sides of the ball travel to Balitmore to take on the (7-3) Ravens. The Ravens are coming off a tough 33 -31 loss at home to the Browns in which they lead 17-3 and 24-9. This is a huge game for the Bengals if the playoffs were to start this week they would be out of the playoffs they are currently in 8th place in the AFC. This game is Amazon Prime at 8:15 on Thursday. Go Bengals! WHO DEY!!

Gotta have it.

It would be great to win, but there is a path to the playoffs even without a win this game. Winning the division is probably already gone regardless of this game considering we are 0-2 in the division and 1-4 in the conference.

Sure, there’s a path. But I hate having to rely on the misfortunes of others to navigate it.

Steelers (2X), at Chiefs, at Jags, Vikings, Colts, and Browns. You could, should if we are the SB contenders we think we are, go 5-2 against that schedule. If so, that puts you at 10-7 and in the playoffs without needing other teams to lose to get in.

Winning the division is not already gone, considering they have 4 division games left. The Raven, and Browns also have 2 division losses. If the Bengals win Thursday, I think they would be in great shape in the division. The Steelers may be the worse 6 win team in the league, and I like the bengals chances in both games against them. Then the Browns at home to end the regular season. So if they can win this Thursday. The division title is very much in play for them.

Which is why I believe we win..

Bengals 27

Ravens 20

It is too bad we don't have any games left vs. the NFC West we are 4-0 vs. them and 1-4 vs. the AFC the bad thing is we only have one more game left vs. the NFC. lol

OK, it is Sunday night. I've got until Thursday to figure out how to watch the game Thursday night.

What is PRIME, and why isn't the game on National TV as in the past?   Obviously a money grab involved here.

It would be the same path the Reds took.

If you have an Amazon Prime membership you can watch it on line. I have a fire stick hooked in a HDMI box with my satellite so I can watch it on my big screen instead of my laptop. 

Bengals rebound with a full compliment of weapons.

In the Cincinnati market, the game on Thursday will air on WCPO 9 in addition to Prime Video.

I seriously doubt we see Higgins play Thursday. So they won’t have a full compliment of weapons. The big one is on defense though if Hendrickson can go.

And I think the playoffs depend on winning the division games. If they don't, they will miss the playoffs due to tiebreakers.
