The Bengals comfortably beat the Ravens last weekend and should do so again in the first week of the playoffs.
Best Bet
The Ravens have failed to score more than 16 points in the last six weeks and look easy pickings for the Bengals once again.
Last week’s margin was only 11 points but Cincinnati clearly took their foot off the gas after getting up 17-0 early.
While the Ravens will likely regain backup quarterback Tyler Huntley in place of third stringer Anthony Brown, it won’t matter. Even with Lamar Jackson the Bengals offence was mediocre, and now it has become a complete disaster.
Cincinnati come into the playoffs off eight straight wins and are playing well on both sides of the ball. They held Baltimore to a pitiful 2.75 yards per carry last week and the absence of any kind of passing game means they can get into base personnel and stifle the one thing the Ravens do well.
This one won’t be close.
Same Game Multi
The Bengals should have plenty of touchdowns to go around and backing their prime movers in the pass and run games to find the end zone.
Value Bet
With the Ravens offence being so impotent at present the Bengals should find the end zone first. Chase has nine touchdowns from twelve games this season, and while Joe Mixon did find the end zone first last week, the Ravens strength against the run makes the wideouts a better play.
