Bengals vs. Ravens betting preview: Key insights and picks

In Week 10 of the NFL season on Thursday Night Football, the Baltimore Ravens will host the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Ravens and Bengals are coming off wins in Week 9, including a five-touchdown performance from Burrow against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Ravens are favored in this one. Below, I'll look at the odds for this game from the best PA sportsbooks , review some storylines, and provide my prediction.

Can the Ravens pass defense slow down Joe Burrow? The Ravens are 6-3 this season, but their one weakness has been the passing game. This season, they're allowing 301.78 passing yards and 1.89 passing touchdowns per game.

They've allowed multiple touchdowns in four of the last five games, including five touchdowns to Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.

In Week 9 against the Raiders, Burrow had five more passing touchdowns and has now thrown eight touchdowns in the last three games.

The Ravens held Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix to just 223 passing yards in Week 9, but before that, they allowed 334 yards in four of six games.

The Ravens have already struggled against Burrow, and they only beat the Bengals by three in that game. Currently, Caesars Sportsbook has Baltimore at -260 odds on the moneyline .

Bengals vs. Ravens odds The Ravens are coming off a win and are 6-3. We'll see how they stack up against the 4-5 Bengals, who are also coming off a win.

Could we see another shootout between these teams? The Ravens have a new weapon, and he's entering his second game with the team, which I'll discuss below.

But before that, check out the betting odds for this matchup below.

Will Diontae Johnson get more involved for Baltimore? In his debut with the team, Johnson didn't see a single target. However, he's entering his second game with the team and will presumably be more involved.

This season with Carolina, through seven games, Johnson caught 30 passes for 357 yards and three touchdowns with a mix of Andy Dalton and Bryce Young at quarterback.

He averages 11.9 yards per reception, so he can help make plays downfield, and will take on a Bengals defense that allowed 143 yards per game to opposing wide receivers.

Adding Johnson to the fold gives quarterback Lamar Jackson another weapon, and we'll see how the Bengals defend Johnson, Zay Flowers, Jackson, and Derrick Henry.

Bengals vs. Ravens betting Here are some prop bets that stand out to me in this game:

Derrick Henry Anytime TD (-260, FanDuel SportsbookThe odds aren't great, but it could make an excellent add-on to a two-leg parlay. Henry has scored in every game this season and leads the league in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. He'll keep the run (no pun intended) going here.

Lamar Jackson Under 49.5 Rushing Yards (-122, BetRivers Sportsbook Jackson had 55 rushing yards against the Bengals earlier this season, but with Henry continuing to get a bunch of volume and Johnson in the fold, Jackson may not need to run as much. Over the last three games, he had single-digit carries in two of them.

Joe Burrow Over 271.5 Passing Yards (-115, BetMGM SportsbookThe betting odds here are too good to pass up, given the opponent. The underdog Bengals take on a Ravens defense that's allowing over 300 passing yards per game, and Burrow threw for 392 against them in Week 5.

Bengals vs. Ravens prediction The Bengals will cover the point spread here. In Week 5, they lost by only three, and it took overtime.

The Ravens offense will be better with Johnson more involved, but the Bengals have a pretty impressive offense of their own.

Burrow had five passing touchdowns last week, and he also had that many against the Ravens in the first go around.

The Ravens pass defense simply has too many flaws. Yes, they traded for cornerback Tre'Davious White, but he's allowed nine catches this season with four going for touchdowns.
