The Bengals should definitely account for J. Lewis and Todd Heap. However, the Bengal's secondary is awful and McNair can spread the ball around to Derrick Mason, Mark Clayton, and D. Williams. The Ravens offense has average 27 points a game since Billick took over as offensive coordinator. The Raven's passing game has improved to 16th in the league. I think overall, this will be a good match up.
Intangibles, if the weather is wet and nasty then expect the Ravens to have more upside because the Ravens can run the ball down the Bengal's throat. J. Lewis, Mike Anderson, Musa Smith...pick your poison.
I hate to say it, because it pains me as a Bengals fan, so I hope I am really wrong here
Ravens win
Ravens 28
Bengals 24
