00:00Lamar Jackson is more than likely not going to win a second consecutive MVP award or his

00:09third in the last six seasons, but he is certainly playing to an MVP caliber level.

00:14If the Ravens are going to win this game comfortably tonight, the RS against the Bengals defense

00:19that has been a mixed bag this year.

00:21What do the Ravens need out of Lamar?

00:24Just being average, like average Lamar has been MVP Lamar, which is crazy.

00:27It's like, hey, we need him to throw 40 times and 400 yards.

00:30Like, no, you need him to throw 27 times, like two 65 and three touchdowns, which feels

00:34like he does that on a week to week basis.

00:37Here's the problem.

00:38And it's not actually a problem because he's an MVP and he's really good.

00:42You saw last week we're coming out a little bit banged up and you say, OK, what does Lamar

00:46used to give you on the ground?

00:47Thirty five, forty five, fifty five, sixty five yards here.

00:50Didn't run much last month and not for a lot of yards.

00:53So if you are looking to attack Lamar Jackson once again on the ground, which he can do,

00:57I'm sort of staying away from those rushing numbers.

00:59But you see the passing numbers.

01:01They're not hindered at all.

01:02And hear me out on that at all.

01:03The wide receiving court, say Flowers, is their number one.

01:06Is he a true number one like a Devontae Adams?

01:08No, not necessarily.

01:09He's just a lead dog in that clubhouse.

01:10But now you have multiple guys that can get open.

01:13You don't have likely back as a set tonight, but you still have Mark Andrews coming back

01:17as if he's getting back to free injury.

01:19Mark Andrews.

01:20There's no reason to believe that Lamar Jackson cannot throw for more than two touchdowns

01:25in this game listed at a minus one twenty eight price right now on the FanDuel Sportsbook.

01:29Because if you're looking at the MO, the one thing we know, Cincinnati's defense is bad.

01:34The Ravens offense is really good and it's centered around Lamar Jackson.

01:38So if you say, Donnie, do you like over two thirty two in his passing prop?

01:41I would be a fool to say no.

01:43But if you said of his passing props, passing yards or passing touchdowns, which way are

01:47you going?

01:48It's the passing touchdowns for me, for Lamar Jackson, Ben.
