Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens control their own destiny Sunday -- a win against the Cincinnati Bengals and they're in the playoffs.

The Ravens have been one of our favorite plays for much of this season, and over the last month specifically, they've finished as a top-4 defense in two of four games. Now they get to square off against a Bengals team that has given up the eighth-most points to opposing defenses on the season. Over the past four games, two teams to face the Bengals have finished as a top-5 defense on the week -- the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings.

Andy Dalton has taken the sixth-most sacks on the season and over the past four games, he's been sacked multiple times in each, taking 10 sacks over that span. Dalton may once again take multiple sacks against a Ravens defense that ranks 7th in sacks (40) on the season and 6th in quarterback hits (97). When these two teams played all the way back in Week 1, the Ravens defense sacked Dalton five times and forced five turnovers.

The Ravens are a 9.5-point favorite in this game, and in a week in which they need a win to guarantee their playoff spot, the Ravens defense is a top play on FanDuel.
