Ravens vs. Bengals
- Leg 1: Under 49.5 Total Points (-117)
- Leg 2: Lamar Jackson 50+ Rushing Yards (-150)
- Leg 3: Joe Burrow Under 235.5 Passing Yards (+140)
Even with all of the offensive talent on both sides of this AFC North showdown, the total is a tad inflated. The oddsmakers are likely influenced too much by the Ravens scoring 63 points combined over the past two games and the Bengals putting up 67 points in the past two weeks. Despite both offenses lighting it up lately, this divisional matchup should be lower-scoring.
Baltimore just held Josh Allen and the Buffalo offense to 10 points last week and can carry that effort over into this matchup. The Ravens boast the best run defense in the NFL this season, allowing a league-low 57.8 rushing yards per game. If they limit Cincinnati's run game, it will put a ton of pressure on Joe Burow and the passing attack to put up points. The Bengals benefited from facing weak defenses in Carolina and Washington the past two games but the competition ramps up now. Meanwhile, the Ravens employ a run-heavy offense and should stick to the ground plenty this week with Cincy's banged-up defensive line.
The Bengals have struggled to stop the run this season, allowing 145.5 rushing yards per game (26th in NFL). Baltimore should have success on the ground in this matchup, so you could consider props for either (or both) Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson. We'll go with Jackson, who has 308 rushing yards through four games while averaging 77 yards per game and 7.5 yards per carry. The Ravens' dual-threat QB has 50+ rushing yards in eight of his last nine games vs. Cincinnati.
On the other side, Burrow has been limited by Baltimore in recent seasons. He's averaging just 192.8 passing yards per game over his past five games against the Ravens. Burrow has also been held below 225 passing yards in each of those five contests.
