Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens Preview & Picks

Cincinnati are tipped to cover as a betting underdog in the final Thanksgiving Day game.

Recent meetings between these two teams have tended to be closely contested affairs, and the Bengals will receive a huge boost this week with the return of Joe Burrow.

  • 3 of the previous 4 meetings have been settled by 3 points or less
  • Cincinnati Bengals are 3-1-0 ATS in their last 4 visits to Baltimore
  • Baltimore Ravens are 0-2-0 ATS in their last 2 games
  • The Over has cashed in each of the last 4 meetings

Head To Head

  • Baltimore Ravens lead the all-time series 32-27
  • Baltimore Ravens won 35-34 when the two teams last met in November 2024

Cincinnati Bengals Form

Cincinnati head to Baltimore on a four-game losing skid that has left them with a 3-8 record.

The Bengals opened the season with back-to-back wins, beating Cleveland 17-16 on the road and Jacksonville 31-27 at home, but their form nose-dived when Joe Burrow went down with injury.

They suffered heavy defeats on the road as they lost 48-10 at Minnesota and 28-3 in Denver, and they then returned home for a 34-27 loss to Detroit.

Cincinnati’s slump reached four games as they lost 27-18 at Green Bay, but they finally ended that losing sequence as they upset Pittsburgh at home, 33-31.

The Bengals have not won since though, losing 39-38 to the New York Jets, 47-42 to Chicago, 34-12 at Pittsburgh and 27-20 to New England.

Baltimore Ravens Form

Baltimore enter this matchup having been on a red-hot run since the bye week, winning five straight games to improve to 6-5.

The Ravens blew a big lead on opening night as they lost 41-40 at Buffalo, and they then failed to back up a 41-17 win over Cleveland as they lost four straight.

They were beaten 38-30 at home by Detroit and 37-20 at Kansas City, before losing back-to-back home games against Houston, 44-10, and the Los Angeles Rams, 17-3.

Baltimore snapped that skid after the bye week as they beat Chicago 30-16, and they then reeled off three straight road wins, beating Miami 28-6, Minnesota 27-19 and Cleveland 23-16.

The Ravens made it five-in-a-row last weekend, as they beat the New York Jets at home, 23-10.

Verdict

Baltimore are the hotter team, but they have not been a reliable spread bet this season.

Cincinnati have not been great either, but Burrow is back and the Bengals have covered consistently in Baltimore in recent years, so give us the free points in this one.
