It’s an AFC North matchup when Baltimore hosts Cincinnati on Thursday Night Football.
Best Bet
The Bengals are a strong play as a big road dog in this divisional matchup.
Recent games between these two rivals have been close. Of the last six, five have been won by the Bengals or decided by a field goal, with the only blowout game being when Joe Burrow went off injured.
Burrow is typically a great bet as an outsider too. He has a career mark of 16-3 against the line when an underdog of three points or more.
Conversely, Lamar Jackson has been a very poor play when trying to cover big lines. The Ravens QB is 9-19-1 against the line when favoured by a field goal or more.
AFC North games overall are great for outsiders, who boast an incredible 46-31 record against the number dating back to 2018, underling its reputation as the most competitive division in football.
When these teams met in Week 5 it went to overtime, expect another close one here.
