Both Pro Football Focus and ESPN's pass block win rate rank the Bengals pass blocking 30th overall, while Football Outsiders rank Cincinnati 16th. ESPN didn't have a single Bengals offensive linemen ranked in the top 10 of either of the three positions. PFF grades Center Ted Karras the fourth best pass blocker at his position, the rest of the Bengals offensive line grades below average at pass blocking.

        Baltimore ranks slightly above average at rushing the passer according to our NFL Betting/Props Cheat Sheet. Pro Football Focus grades them 16th out of the 32 teams, ESPN has three Ravens one spot lower at 17th, and Football Outsiders ranks Baltimore the highest at sixth overall. PFF grades linebacker Patrick Queen the ninth best pass rusher at his position, along with defensive tackle Calais Campbell 25th out of 105 at pass rushing. The Ravens also have three other players in their front seven grading above average at pass rushing as well. ESPN doesn't have any Baltimore players in their pass rush win rate top 10 at either position.

        Jaguars Pass Blocking +8.7 vs Chargers

        Baltimore Ravens +12 at Cincinnati Bengals

        Our NFL Betting/Props Cheat Sheet has Baltimore tied with Tampa Bay as the highest ranked pass blocking average this week. Pro Football Focus grades the Ravens pass blocking second overall out of 32 teams to finish the season. ESPN also ranked Baltimore's offensive line high at pass blocking, sixth overall.

Reader grades high as well, fifth out of 105 at his position. The other five players on Cincinnati front seven grade below average at pass rush. ESPN's pass rush win rate ranking ranks edge rusher Trey Hendrickson fourth at his position.

        San Francisco 49ers +10 vs Seattle Seahawks

        San Francisco has a pretty inconsistent ranking this week. Pro Football Focus grades the 49ers the highest at fifth overall, while ESPN's pass block win rate ranking ranks San Francisco the lowest at 20th, Football Outsiders ranks the 49ers 10th. Tackle Trent Williams has the highest grade of the five San Francisco offensive linemen, grading the sixth best tackle out of 80. Center Jake Brendel grades as the eighth best center out of 39.
