The PLAY: Baltimore Ravens -2.5 (-115)
This is the second meeting in three weeks between Baltimore and Cincinnati after the Bengals ruined the Ravens' Thanksgiving with an 18-point road win. Baltimore generated 6.1 yards per play in that contest, but turned the ball over five times as the Bengals held a 38:46-21:14 advantage in time of possession. The Ravens are licking their AFC North wounds after falling at home to the Steelers last week. Baltimore out-gained Pittsburgh by over 100 yards and had nine more first downs, but went 2-for-6 in the red zone and lost the turnover battle. Cincinnati also let one slip away last week as the Bengals blew a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter in Buffalo. Wide receiver Tee Higgins is going through concussion protocol this week after taking some hard hits against the Bills. We've been wrong on A LOT of Baltimore's games this season, but it's hard to ignore how bad the Bengals' defense has been. Buffalo generated 416 total yards on 6.9 yards per play against Cincinnati last week. As long as the Ravens don't lose four fumbles again (which apparently is an issue for them at the moment), Baltimore should be able to do whatever it wants against the Bengals defense. Higgins didn't play for Cincinnati in that Thanksgiving contest and Joe Burrow only completed 52.2-percent of his passes. If Higgins is out again, the Bengals will lose a big piece from their passing game.
