Ravens: Path to Cover
After a rocky start this season, the Ravens have rallied with five consecutive wins, capitalizing on a healthier Lamar Jackson, despite his limited practice. Their defense has significantly improved, not allowing more than 20 points in recent games against struggling teams. As the Bengals prepare without Tee Higgins (concussion), the Ravens see a clear path to victory.
Bengals: Hopes for Competitive Matchup
Cincinnati’s prospects brighten with Burrow’s anticipated return and Chase’s involvement. They kept the game close against the Patriots last week, and with previous performances, they have the potential to disrupt Baltimore’s rhythm.
Conclusion
For this game, the model leans towards the Over on total points, estimating 54 points in total. It also highlights a favorable betting trend that leads to a high success rate for one side of the spread. To dive deeper into the model’s findings, check out SportsLine for expert picks and insights.
