Bengals at Ravens picks and predictions
Prediction
Bengals 23, Ravens 20
Moneyline
PASS.
I think the Bengals (-120) win the game but I'll take the slightly better odds with the spread being so small.
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL: Best prop bets
Against the spread
BET BENGALS -1 (-110).
Cincinnati has several advantages heading into Sunday's AFC North showdown, starting with Baltimore's quarterback situation. Jackson is questionable with an ankle injury after missing 2 games, and his mobility could be limited against a Bengals defense that has recorded 17 sacks this season.
Burrow has completed 71.4% of his passes with 11 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. He's also averaged 289.5 passing yards in 11 career starts against Baltimore. Chase has been a major problem for the Ravens, averaging 120.4 receiving yards in 10 meetings and topping 100 yards in 4 straight.
Baltimore's secondary is also dealing with injuries, with Hawkins ruled out and Tampa doubtful.
With Cincinnati's passing attack facing a depleted secondary and Jackson's status uncertain, the Bengals have a strong opportunity to take control Sunday.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 48 (-110).
Jackson's ankle injury creates uncertainty for Baltimore's offense, which could rely heavily on Henry and its rushing attack. The Ravens average 151.5 rushing yards per game, helping control the clock and limit possessions. Cincinnati's running game has struggled, while both defenses have been effective against the pass. Their last meeting ended in a 24-0 Ravens victory, setting the stage for another physical AFC North battle.
Best prop bet
Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase 100+ RECEIVING YARDS (+160).
Chase has dominated Baltimore's secondary, averaging 175 receiving yards per game against the Ravens over the past 2 seasons. Cincinnati enters Sunday's matchup rested after its bye week, giving Burrow extra preparation time to get his top receiver involved. Baltimore ranks 21st against opposing wide receivers and could be without Hawkins in the secondary. With Chase's impressive history against the Ravens, another big afternoon could be coming.
