Key Factors to Consider
- Baltimore Ravens show a 6-5 season record including key wins recently, while Cincinnati Bengals have a poorer 3-8 record with significant difficulties on the road (1-4).

- Past matchups have seen Baltimore generally coming out ahead against Cincinnati, including recent seasons where Baltimore has leveraged strong home field advantage to dominate. The teams' playing styles favor Baltimoreβs stronger defense and balanced offense.
- No explicit current injury reports were detailed in available data, but monitoring last-minute status of key players such as Ravens' offensive leaders and Bengals' quarterback is critical.
- The game is on Thanksgiving night at Baltimoreβs home stadium with expected cool temperatures (~36Β°F) which may favor the Ravensβ more physical style. There is no reported adverse weather or other external disruptions.
