NFL Game Odds: TNF Bengals at Ravens Odds | Bengals and Ravens faced off, with quarterbacks Burrow and Jackson showcasing their skills in a high-scoring game where defense was overshadowed.
The Bengals bottled up Baltimore tailback Derrick Henry for most of the game, but he got loose in overtime, picking up a huge 51-yard gain that put the Ravens on the Cincinnati 6-yard line. Now we get the second meeting of the season between these two AFC North powers.
The Bengals had started the season 1-4 but are now 4-5, perhaps rounding into shape in time to contend for a division title – if they can go to Baltimore and get a win.
Despite a rough start, the Ravens have a 6-3 record with losses to Las Vegas, Cleveland, and Kansas City in Week 1. They remain a perplexing team to follow.
They also almost let a huge lead slip away in Dallas, and have struggled to finish several of their wins.
Furthermore, they had no such struggles against Denver in Week 9, and they demolished Denver, Buffalo and Washington by a combined score of 106-43.
But which Baltimore team will show up on Thursday night? Read on to get our sports betting insights on this prime-time AFC North clash.

The Bengals have done well to move from 1-4 to 4-5, but they are feasting on losing teams right now. None of their wins have come against a team with a record above .500. They did roll over Las Vegas last week, but the Raiders had several crucial injuries and had to use backup quarterback Desmond Ridder. Now the Bengals start a stretch against Baltimore, the Chargers and Pittsburgh, and we will know whether they are legit AFC contenders on the basis of those outcomes.

After that fairly ugly Week 8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, it was nice to see the Bengals take care of business against a subpar team. However, they don’t have much time to pat themselves on the back before they take the field in Baltimore. An interesting Joe Burrow stat from NFL Next Gen Stats had Burrow scrambling for 66.6 yards around the pocket on his five touchdown passes. Two of those passes involved him scrambling for at least 20 yards, so questions about his mobility have definitely been answered.
Receiving Yards
The Bengals already have over 1,050 combined receiving yards from their duo of Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. In Higgins’ absence, tight end Mike Gesicki has taken on more of the catching duties and has 30 receptions for 353 yards and two touchdowns. Their rushing game is in trouble right now, as both Chase Brown and Zach Moss might have to miss Thursday’s game.
The offense ranks seventh in points (26.2 per game) and 17th in total offense (330.6 ypg). The passing attack ranks seventh (236.3 yards) while the rushing attack is just 27th (94.2). They are just behind the Ravens in second for red zone touchdown percentage (69.2%), and they convert almost 47% of their third downs (third overall). Their defense ranks 25th in points permitted per game (25th), which could be a vulnerability in Baltimore.

When the Ravens are focused and locked in, there might not be a team in the NFL that can stay with them. The consistency of the defense has been the issue – when the Ravens permit 25 or fewer points, the team is 4-0. The offense has been firing on all cylinders, perhaps no more so than against Denver on Sunday. Jackson went 16 of 19 for 280 yards and three scores, posting a perfect passer rating of 158.3 – his fourth career game with a rating that high. He’s now tied with Ben Roethlisberger for the most by any quarterback in NFL history.

Zay Flowers
A particularly surprising player has been Flowers, who became the first Baltimore player to get 100 receiving yards and two touchdown catches in one game since 2019, when Hollywood Brown did it. He is also the first 100-yard receiver that Denver has permitted – the Broncos had the fourth-best pass defense in the league before that debacle. Flowers now has four 100-yard receiving games in the team’s last five showdowns.
On the season, Flowers leads the Ravens with 46 catches for 654 yards and three scores. Rashod Bateman (25 catches, 447 yards, 3 TD) and tight end Mark Andrews (24 catches, 289 yards, 4 TD) round out the main receiving group. Derrick Henry already has 1,052 rushing yards on the season, averaging an eye-popping 6.3 yards per carry, and he has scored 11 times.
The team is second in scoring (31.4 points per game) and first in total yards (445.9) and rushing yards (191.9) per game. They are fourth in passing offense (254.0 ypg). They are third in the fewest sacks permitted (13) and fourth in the fewest turnovers committed (fourth). Not only that, but they lead the league in red zone touchdown percentage (74.3%). All of this makes for a tough task for the Cincinnati defense on Thursday.

Bengals Injuries
For Cincinnati, tight end Eric All (knee) went on injured reserve Tuesday, along with tailback Zach Moss (neck). Tailback Chase Brown (ribs), offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr (knee) and wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad), who did not play against Las Vegas, are all listed as questionable for Thursday’s game.
Baltimore Injuries
For the Ravens, tight end Isaiah Likely (hamstring) and defensive tackle Travis Jones (ankle) are listed as questionable for Thursday’s game.
It’s tempting to take the Bengals here because they pushed the Ravens to overtime back on October 6. The Bengals have also improved significantly on offense since the start of the season – starting, in fact, with that loss to the ravens. However, their defense doesn’t generate takeaways and doesn’t pressure opposing quarterbacks. It doesn’t stop enough teams on third down. The offense relies too heavily on Joe Burrow to move the ball and will do so even more if their top two tailbacks miss the game.
It’s also tempting to take the Ravens here because of how complete their domination was in the second half against Denver. The Broncos have a decent defense and can play solid offense. However, Baltimore switched to a higher gear after the intermission, and the Broncos couldn’t match it. It was surprising that the Ravens didn’t come out in that higher gear after that sad loss to Cleveland. However, the Bengals could not hang with Philadelphia, losing by 20. The rivalry will keep things closer, but I think the Ravens can pull away thanks to their multidimensional offense.
I predict a final score of Baltimore 37, Cincinnati 23.
^Congrats to @TomBrady's 3 stars of Week 9! ✨
