Paul Bessire And The Prediction Machine On The Ravens Hosting The Bengals This Sunday

Paul Bessire is the inventor of the predictalator at the prediction machine.com.

Paul joined Ed and Steve to give his statistical predictions of this Sunday's game between the Bengals and Ravens.

Steve asked Paul about his predictions for the Ravens vs Bengals game this Sunday. Paul believes the Ravens should get their first win of the season, however it will be a close game saying, "it is a Ravens victory and its right around the spread. The Ravens have a 54 percent chance to win and the final score we have is 24-22. We have Baltimore at a 25 percent chance of making the playoffs right now."

Ed asked Paul about what would happen to the Ravens playoff chances should they fall to 0-3. Paul admitted that their chances at making a run to the postseason would take a hit, "there's what happens in our simulations and then there is what happens in the NFL historically. Historically the numbers are terrible but that is because most teams that start 0-3 are terrible teams. Baltimore isn't a terrible team though. The number right now is 25 percent but a loss this week would cut those chances in half."

Paul went on to discuss this Saturday's college football match up between Maryland and West Virginia, concerns for the ravens offense, and fantasy football players to play this week on both draft kings and fan duel.
