Madden’s Week 11 prediction: Kicker’s duel

Coming off of a controlling performance over the rival Pittsburgh Steelers, Joe Flacco’s career revival continues heading into a Week 11 tilt against the similarly hated Cincinnati Bengals. Flacco will need to be on point again this week after the drubbing the Ravens took from Cincinnati when they allowed Andy Dalton to run all over them during their Thursday Night match up.

After the defense put on a stellar performance against Ben Roethlisberger, they will have the chance to build on that production when they face Dalton. Despite his middle of the pack status among NFL quarterbacks, he has historically given Baltimore issues. Look for him to try to keep his hot hand rolling in Baltimore.

As for the rest of the Bengals, the defense will be strong, so a balanced approach is required when attacking. Look for Baltimore’s coaching staff to make more use of the running backs in this one.

Here’s hoping the roll will continue in Week 11!
