Best Bet
Cincinnati look an excellent bet getting more than a field goal against their division rivals given how close games between these teams typically are.
Since Joe Burrow came to Cincinnati the Bengals have only beaten the LSU product by more than a field goal once, in his rookie season of 2020.
The Bengals have won four of their last six against their AFC North rivals, and their loss in Week 2 was when Burrow was significantly affected by a calf injury. Despite that, it was only a three point margin that separated the teams.
Both teams are coming off defensive performances to forget, especially the Ravens who allowed Deshaun Watson to complete 14 or 14 passes in the second half last week and come from 24-9 down in the third quarter.
Things weren’t much better for the Bengals, allowing CJ Stroud and the Texans to put up more than 500 yards of offence last week.
The Bengals have generally been a solid bet as underdogs in the Burrow era, and they are a remarkable 8-0 against the number when underdogs of more than 3.5 points in the last three years.
Same Game Multi
With Tee Higgins out due to injury, expect Tyler Boyd to become an even bigger piece of the Bengals passing attack. He’s coming off season highs in targets, yards and receptions last week.
For all the talk about Lamar – and he has been great this season – the Bengals are a run first offence, ranking 31st in passing attempts. Gus The Bus should get his yards against a team that gave up 150 to Devin Singletary last week.
Value Bet
Boyd is a very capable receiver and has topped this mark three times against the Ravens.
