The Baltimore Ravens will host the Cincinnati Bengals in a Week 11 matchup between two postseason contenders in the 2023 NFL season.
Both teams have Super Bowl dreams, and this fixture would likely serve as a litmus test heading into the business end of the season.
The Lamar Jackson-led Ravens have been more impressive this season, and they enter the game with a proud 7-3 record. Baltimore's last game was a closely fought 31-30 win over sworn rivals the Cleveland Browns. The odds are firmly in their favor ahead of this crunch divisional game.
On the other hand, Cincinnati is the underdog heading into this crunch Week 11 matchup. The Bengals lost the last meeting(25-9) between the franchises in Week 2 when franchise QB Joe Burrow was still battling with a calf injury. Thankfully, Burrow has recovered sufficiently from that injury and has led the franchise to four wins in their last five games heading into Week 11.

While there was some concern that Burrow had suffered another injury, those fears have since been dispelled, which means he will face the Ravens on TNF.
The only blemish to their recent record was a close defeat to the Houston Texans in Week 10. They will need more guile if they want to come out of M&T Bank Stadium with a victory.
