Cincinnati Bengals vs Baltimore Ravens Wild Card Predictions, Picks & Best Bets

Cincinnati Bengals host the Baltimore Ravens in a Wild Card Weekend showdown on Sunday night. The Bengals are the defending AFC Champion. Last week the Bengals beat the Ravens 27-16 at home. Baltimore won the first game 19-17 back in Week 5.

Ravens have a premier run game and a defense that allowed 12.2 ppg for the five weeks prior to Week 18. Bengals have had issues against run-first teams. Ravens have received 3.5 or more points twice on the spread and both times they've covered.

Ravens vs. Bengals is a game with Jackson not expected to play. The total has dropped 3.5 points. It's the highest total of any Ravens game in five weeks. Four of the five games have been at 39 or less and all of them have hit the Under. Cincinnati's defense allows just 18 points at home.

Ravens are getting nearly 10 points from the moneyline. They are without Jackson and under Huntley they are averaging 19.9 ppg. Cincinnati is likely to win, but at -435 they're not backing it.

K.J. Dobbins didn't play in Week 18, but he received 13-17 carries in three of the previous four weeks. He totaled 120, 125 and 93 yards in those games. With Gus Edwards potentially out, D Cobbins should get 20-plus touches and go over 61 rushing yards.

Joe Mixon is over 25.5 receiving yards. Mioch had 11 carries for 27 yards last week but five receptions for 41 yards against Baltimore.
