Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens
Sunday 10/24, 1:00 p.m. ET

Three things you need to know before betting on Bengals-Ravens:

1. The Ravens are one of four NFL teams along with the Buccaneers, Chiefs and Cowboys to average at least 420 yards of offense over the first six weeks of the 2021 season. With a defense that’s allowing fewer than 360 yards per game, Baltimore has outgained its opponents by an average of more than 60 yards per game. Since the start of 2017 season, however, NFL home teams that are outgaining opponents by an average of at least 50 yards per game are 20-47-2 against the spread after having averaged at least 400 yards of offense over their previous three games.

2. The Ravens are 2-9 against the spread at home under head coach Jim Harbaugh after having averaged 400 or more yards of offense over their previous three games. While Baltimore is one of only five NFL teams that’s averaging better than 8.5 passing yards per attempt this season, Cincinnati is 4-0 against the spread, including 3-0 ATS on the road, under head coach Zac Taylor when facing an opponent that’s averaging at least 7.5 yards per pass attempt.

 

3. The Bengals have tended to be competitive when traveling to Baltimore in recent seasons, going 3-4 straight-up and 5-2 against the spread when facing the Ravens on the road since the start of the 2014 season. The road team has gotten the better of this divisional series in recent years, with visitors going 6-2 against the spread in games between Cincinnati and Baltimore since the start of the 2017 season.
