Play Outlook

Week 10 starts off with an absolute bang as Cincy travels to Baltimore for part two of this AFC North Divisional matchup. No Week 10 NFL game has a higher total than Bengals-Ravens with the total currently at a whopping 53 points and Baltimore favored by six at home. In Week 5, when these clubs met, this game sailed over the total, with the Ravens winning 41-38 in OT. Maybe we can’t expect to level of offensive production again on Thursday, but there’s plenty of data to suggest we should see points in this one. On the year, Baltimore games are 8-1 over, while Cincy games are 6-3 against hitting the Vegas total. With two defenses both in the top-10 in scoring and two offenses capable of lighting up the scoreboard, it’s not hard to envision another high-scoring game at TNF.
