Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens TNF Open Thread

Those AFC North games are usually a good time for fans, and you can usually throw the records out. Tonight, the third-place Cincinnati Bengals (4-5) will play the second-place Baltimore Ravens (6-3) at 7:15 p.m. CT on Amazon Prime. Both teams are chasing the Steelers (6-2).

The Ravens are led by 2023 MVP Lamar Jackson, who is having an even better 2024 and is an early frontrunner to win his third such award. After a hiccup two weeks ago in Cleveland, Lamar and the Ravens obliterated the Broncos 41 to 10 last week.

The Bengals started the season with three straight losses but are starting to regain form thanks to the Joe Burrow - Ja'Marr Chase connection. Cincy walloped the Raiders last week 41 to 24.

Our friends over at FanDuel Sportsbook have the home Ravens favored by 6.5 points, with the over/under at 53.5. Baltimore running back Derrick Henry is leading the league in rushing, and if you think he'll keep it going against Cincinnati's middle-of-the-road run defense, you can get Henry to go over 100 yards at +122.

I like the Ravens, the over, and give me Henry over 100 yards while we're at it.

Who are you picking in tonight's game?
