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