The predictive model expects the Ravens offense to lean 3.6% more towards passing than it did last year (adjusted for context) with offensive coordinator Todd Monken now calling the plays.Still weather conditions (like the 3-mph wind being predicted in this game) generally mean increased passing efficiency, increased TD potential, increased pass volume, and lower rush volume.The Ravens offensive line grades out as the 7th-best in football this year in protecting the quarterback, which has a strong impact on all air attack stats across the board.Rashod Bateman's possession skills have improved this season, with his Adjusted Catch Rate jumping from 52.5% to 64.9%.The Bengals safeties rank as the worst unit in the league this year in covering pass-catchers.
