Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens Tips - Back Ravens to extend winning streak

Perennial doormats in the brutal AFC North, they have already tied their win total from last season after blowing away the Detroit Lions, holding them scoreless for three quarters last Sunday.

The Bengals, 4-2 on the season, won 34-11, with Joe Burrow throwing for 271 yards and three touchdowns and Joe Mixon running for 94 yards.

Yet they are not perfect offensively and are struggling with inconsistency and this will be a measuring-stick game where we will find out how good these Bengals really are.

Baltimore are atop the division with a 5-1 record, having whipped the Los Angeles Chargers 34-6 last Sunday. 

The Bengals have lost their last five to Baltimore, including the last three on the road.

It is their longest such losing streak since dropping six in a row to the Ravens between September 1998 and November 2000.

Furthermore, they have not scored more than 21 points in those five losses, the last four by six points or more.
