The OFFICIAL Ravens -Bengals Prediction Thread

**Ravenboy2003** · 12-27-2016, 07:27 PM

First and foremost, a big CONGRATS to GreatWhiteNorthRaven who nailed his third prediction of the year and sort of ran away with this contest! He even said that AB would score late. Can't get much later than stretching across the goal line with 9 seconds left. I also notice a pattern. His 3 picks were all losses. That's enough from you young man!! :hammer:

Anyway.. It's time for the yearly trek to somewhere warmer. I'm off to Casa de Campo for a few days and figured I'd wrap up this year with my final prediction before I go pack my flip flops and neon green banana hammock.

Cincy seemed to put forth a lot of defensive effort in their last second loss at Houston. I think they'll play tough again on Sunday. Ravens usually don't win up there an really don't have much to play for. I think it's an 8-8 campaign followed by some MAJOR changes. I think Harbs will be required to "play out his contract" which rarely happens with head coaches. He will have to earn an extension by proving his worth.

Thanks again to Tony for letting this forum be just what it is. And Happy New Year to all!

the ravens are pretty healthy but you had our number the last few years.

I'll buy that. I'm leaning toward a 6-6 tie in regulation and Tucker kicking the game winner in OT. 9-6 Ravens. But like you, I will make my official prediction later.

Who gives a shit?

Right now I will say I want the Ravens to lose and move up in draft position.

But when the game starts I will want them to win and my emotions will ride the roller coaster.

FIRE PEES!

We need two young coordinators who are innovative. No more retreads.

Ravens win by same score we beat the Dolphins 38 - 6. Half the Ravens fans (me included) jump for joy at such a victory and a 9 - 7 season. The other half cry in their beer because we dropped a few spots in the 2017 draft and cannot fathom why we tried so hard. CincyCat looks at positive side of a 5 - 9 - 1 season. He believes perhaps Marvin Lewis will finally be fired. Alas, our friend from Cincinnati reads this : http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...urn-next-year/
He then asks Ravens fans, "What are you guys doing on January 8th?"

Not to be a downer but I honestly don't give a shit about this game. I support this team no matter what and hope they win, but last week they broke my heart and it's going to take me some time to get over that. If we were playing spoiler I would be somewhat up for this game, but with both teams eliminated from the playoffs I'm just kind of ready for the season to be over.
