Ravens vs. Bengals 2018 live stream: Time, TV schedule, pick/prediction, and how to watch online
Both the Ravens and Bengals scored big wins in Week 1, and now they’ll face off in an early AFC North tilt on “Thursday Night Football”.
Both the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals made it out of Week 1 with wins, though the former team was much more impressive than the latter. The Bengals will try and avoid the fate suffered by the Buffalo Bills when they face Baltimore at home on Thursday Night Football, beginning at 8:20 p.m. ET on NFL Network (live streaming via FuboTV, NFL).
The Ravens destroyed the Bills, 47-3, with Joe Flacco completing 25 of 34 passes for 236 yards and three touchdowns and the team rushing for 117 total yards. They also snared two interceptions off of Nathan Peterman.
Cincinnati played a much closer game against the Indianapolis Colts, but ultimately took a comfortable 34-23 victory in Week 1. Andy Dalton threw for 243 yards and a pair of touchdowns, but also tossed an interception. Joe Mixon was excellent, with 95 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries.
Last season, the AFC North rival Bengals and Ravens split their season series, each losing at home — in Cincinnati in Week 1 and in Baltimore in Week 17.
