Prediction
Ravens 38, Bengals 28
Moneyline ( ?)
The Ravens are not worth the risk at -556 - every $5.56 wagered that they win profits $1. The Bengals are tempting at +400 - betting $1 to win $4 should they win outright - but the offensive line doesn't give Dalton enough time and there's no way Cincy leaves with a W.
Against the Spread ( ?)
The BENGALS +11.5 ( -125) are worth backing. As bad as Cincy is, it's just a lot of points in a division rivalry game. The Ravens are -11.5 (+105).
Over/Under (?)
The OVER47.5 ( -115) is worth a small wager, but the STRONGEST PLAY is the 1st-half OVER 23.5 ( -129). The Bengals can't stop anyone - the Ravens could score three TDs before halftime. With the Bengals ability to score by air, I'm expecting a high-scoring first 30 minutes.
New to sports betting? Bet $12.90 to win $10 that 24 or more points will be scored by halftime. Every $1 wagered on this profits $0.78 (1 divided by 1.29).
