Cincinnati Bengals
It’s been a tough start to the season for Cincinnati but they have won 3 of their last 4 games. On Sunday they defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 41-24. Joe Burrow completed 27 of his 39 pass attempts for 251 yards and 5 touchdowns. He also threw one interception that was returned for a touchdown. Chase Brown ran for 120 yards on 27 carries. Mike Gesicki went off for 5 receptions for 100 yards and 2 touchdowns. Defensively the Bengals allowed 217 total yards and had 2 fumble recoveries. Wide receiver Tee Higgins hasn’t practiced all week and is considered “doubtful” to play on Thursday. Left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. is questionable but logged limited practices for Tuesday and Wednesday.
Baltimore Ravens
After losing their first two games of the season, the Ravens have won 6 of their last 7. On Sunday it was a 41-10 victory over the Broncos. Lamar Jackson completed 16 of 19 pass attempts for 280 yards and 3 touchdowns. Derrick Henry took 23 carries for 106 yards and 2 touchdowns. Zay Flowers was the lead receiver taking 5 receptions for 127 yards and 2 touchdowns. Diontae Johnson went without a target in his Ravens debut however he played just 17 snaps and should see a bigger role moving forward. Tight end Isaiah Likely has already been ruled out.

Bengals vs. Ravens Prediction:
Take the Ravens to cover the 5.5 at home on Thursday night. The Bengals have looked better in the last few weeks but all four of their wins this season are against opponents that are currently sitting with 2-7 records. They did play well against the Chiefs losing by 1, and they took the Ravens to OT when they played earlier this season, but Cincinnati’s last loss was by 20 points to the Eagles. The Bengals have the 25th ranked defense allowing 25 points per game and are going against a Ravens offense that just dropped 41 on the 3rd ranked defense. The Bengals will (most likely) be without Tee Higgins who had 9 receptions for 83 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Ravens earlier this season. I don’t see Mike Gesicki hitting 100+ and two touchdowns two weeks in a row. Meanwhile, Baltimore adds Diontae Johnson who had 7 receptions for 83 yards and a touchdown against the Bengals with Andy Dalton as his QB earlier in the season. I think the Ravens offense will overpower the Bengals and they end up running away with this one.
Bengals vs. Ravens Prediction: Ravens -5.5 (currently available at Caesars and ESPN Bet)
