Ray is not playing...
Aaron Wilson @RavensInsider
Ravens are hoping to get Ray Lewis back for wild-card playoff game. He continues to strengthen his surgically repaired right triceps

Ray Lewis being activated doesn't mean he will play against Cincy, though. Team has said he's out until the postseason. This was procedural

Ravens activated Ray Lewis, placed LaQuan Willams on injured reserve

Re: Ravens @ Bengals predictions.
The thumping you guys gave us in the first game of the season made me think we were never gonna scratch playoff dirt. No matter how carefully the Bengals pack their lunch, 9 times out 10 Ray Rice eats it. I can't imagine him not wanting to play or accept not starting.
I look for this to be a very competitive game. We were 9-7 last year and I know Marvin would at least like to show progress record wise, even though Ravens have clinched.
I'm going out on a limb. Bengals 23 Ravens 17

My prediction is that we'll see a lot of injured players rested and the other key starters get 2-3 quarters like a preseason game.

Re: Ravens @ Bengals predictions.
Resting starters is silly. The playoffs are all about momentum and getting and staying hot. Sleepwalking into the playoffs doesn't seem compatible with that reality and history has proven that out.

I think we'll see some defensive starters possibly sit but I think we'll see all hands on offense other than Bolden. I'm thinking Caldwell and Joe want to try different personnel groupings with Bolden resting and possibly work on tempo changes within the game (sugar huddle in the first half, regular subs in second half while maybe mixing snap counts throughout due to being on the road.)
Bengals 20
Ravens 17

Re: Ravens @ Bengals predictions.
Prepostseason game or whatever you want to to call it. Look forward to seeing backups like Anthony Allen and Tyrod and David Reed amongst others do thier thing. Actually more intestested if it is a backup bowl.
Ravens *
Bengals*
Losing might help the draft slot.

I don't think the resting will come as a tactic. Rather, it will be about necessity, especially on defense.
How effective can we be in the playoffs if our defense is the walking wounded? We saw what Denver did to us and we are going to see that same caliber of team in two weeks.

Re: Ravens @ Bengals predictions.
If good Tyrod shows up:
Ravens 20
Bengals 27
If bad Tyrod shows up:
Ravens 13
Bengals 38
Board implodes either way...moderators spend all Sunday night merging the "Fire Harbaugh" threads.
This is a meaningless game...

Re: Ravens @ Bengals predictions.
Here is a question -
If the Ravens win, what does it get them in the playoffs?
Because I've read that it is likely that the Bengals will be coming to Baltimore regardless in the playoffs for the first game. If that is the case, and nothing is going to change that, why play your starters?Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.
