Bengals vs. Ravens Predictions For Thursday Night Football, NFL Week 10

Not only did both the Bengals and Ravens put up 41 points in Week 9, but they also came in double-digit victories against AFC West opponents. So, obviously our Bengals vs. Ravens predictions are focused on a high-scoring game, right?

Well, that would certainly seem to be the most obvious approach, but of course, oddsmakers know that as well. Therefore, we’re not shocked to see a relatively high total, which is likely higher than it otherwise would have been given their most recent results.

The question then becomes if we are becoming a prisoner of what we saw last or if these teams really will light up the scoreboard. Given the divisional rivalry, we have plenty of past results to use alongside their performances this season to indeed provide a best bet from our Bengals vs. Ravens predictions.

 

 

 

Cincinnati Bengals: Back On Track

Yet again, the Bengals had one of their classic slow starts to the season. They hit their bottom when they played the Ravens back in Week 5, which was you guessed it - an absolute thriller. That 41-38 loss dropped Cinci to 1-4, but also as usual, they began their turnaround.

However, it wasn’t quite their usual bounce back, as after winning two straight, they lost at home by 20 points to the Philadelphia Eagles. So, not having just won by 17 points, is the second-wind bounce back now here? They still need to find balance if that’s going to be the case, but they’ll certainly have confidence heading into this matchup.

 

 

 

Baltimore Ravens: The Script Has Flipped

Since becoming a franchise in 1996, the Ravens have been defined by defense. After all, their second-ever draft pick was Hall-of-Fame LB Ray Lewis, and the 2000 Super Bowl-winning defense is considered one of the best in NFL history. Well, thanks to a new era of young players like QB Lamar Jackson and WR Zay Flowers, the script has flipped.

The Ravens now have the best offense in several regards including yards per game (452.1/game), and it isn’t even close. Meanwhile, they have one of the worst defenses, and against the pass, they are indeed the worst.

 

 

 

Bengals vs. Ravens Odds, Spreads, Total & Betting Lines

We referenced that we weren’t surprised to see such a high total for the AFC North rivalry, and you can see the latest Bengals vs. Ravens odds at DraftKings Sportsbook below:

 

 

 

Bengals vs. Ravens Predictions: Cincinnati Team Total Over 23.5 Points (-108 at DraftKings Sportsbook)

Our Bengals vs. Ravens predictions aren’t focused on the squarest play in the world of an over, but we aren’t straying far from it either. Feel free to add the game total over to your Bengals vs. Ravens picks, but we’re going to isolate the Cincinnati side of the game.

While we’ve all seen Baltimore light up the scoreboard this season, and they very well may again on Thursday night, we believe that the Bengals will as well. This is about the matchup, which was proven when these teams met just a few weeks ago.

Although Cinci suffered the loss in overtime, they put up 38 points on what has become a very poor Ravens defense. As mentioned, it’s through the air where they struggle most. Well, we also mentioned that the Bengals need to find balance, and that’s because their passing game has far outperformed every other unit - including their defense.

Even when they fell to 1-4, QB Joe Burrow was still arguably the best at the position through the first five weeks, leading the NFL in touchdown passes and was second in completion percentage. We’ll admit that we’d love our Bengals vs. Ravens predictions even more with clarity of WR Tee Higgins’ injury, but even still, Baltimore offers no resistance to an elite passing game led by Burrow and WR Ja'Marr Chase.

Again, we wouldn’t be afraid to target a total in the 50’s given 79 points were scored between these teams already this season, but there is simply more value isolating the team total. Oddsmakers are downgrading the Bengals a bit being on the road and the unknown of Higgins and RB Zack Moss, but they absolutely have the firepower to exploit this defense.

Therefore, the top pick from our Bengals vs. Ravens predictions is Cincinnati’s team total over 23.5 points (-108 at DraftKings Sportsbook).
