The Baltimore Ravens travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals this Sunday at 1:00 pm. This AFC North rivalry promises to deliver intensity as both teams vie for positioning in the division but also the AFC.
The Ravens, led by the dynamic Lamar Jackson and bolstered by the recent addition of running back Derrick Henry, bring a formidable offense to Cincinnati. With the rushing attack steals most of the headlines, do not sleep on their equally powerful defense. A defense that flexed its muscle in the dominant 35-10 victory over the Buffalo Bills.
The Bengals’ season has not started as they would’ve hoped. They started with three straight losses but were able to pick up a much-needed 34-24 win over the Carolina Panthers.
The Ravens are 3-point favorites in this game and are on a two-game win streak over the hosts.

Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) thinks the play here is Bengals +2.5 or pass:
“It’s the NFL. Betting on home divisional underdogs likely is a profitable strategy. Joe Burrow is also 5-2-1 as a home underdog. With how dominant the Ravens looked against the Bills, you’d think the line would move from -3 to -3.5 or higher, yet it has come down. I think considering the home dog in this one would be wise.”
