Bengals vs Ravens Prediction
Cin Bengals 20, Bal Ravens 27
Despite both teams featuring superstar quarterbacks, it is actually Baltimore running back Derrick Henry who should serve as the ultimate needle-mover. The Ravens rushing attack, led by their unique one-two punch of Henry and Jackson is far and away the most productive in the NFL (averaging 45.5 more rushing yards per game than the next closest offense).
Unfortunately for Cincinnati, their club ranks 25th in rushing yard defense. While the Bengals’ star trio of Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins will put points on the board, their ability to contain the Ravens backfield is very much in question.
While Baltimore’s passing offense has struggled at times, their skill position room still has upside with players like Zay Flowers, Mark Andrews, and Isaiah Likely ready to provide firepower. This makes the Ravens a well rounded opponent who can beat competitors in several different ways.
Expect Cincinnati to put up a fight. But, like so many of their early season matchups, expect the franchise to come up just short of a big victory.
Bengals vs Ravens Best Bets
Derrick Henry over 84.5 rushing yards (-105)
Need more numbers to prove how dangerous Henry is this week? The Pro-Bowl back is currently averaging a stellar 120 rushing yards per game on 6.0 yards per carry. Backup Justice Hill, who has received only 14 carries so far this season, is no threat to Henry’s workload.
Barring an injury, King Henry is a virtual lock to capitalize on his impressive upside and eclipse the 100 rushing yard mark. Bet this over with confidence!
Ja’Marr Chase over 72.5 receiving yards (-110)
While Baltimore has clear rushing upside in this Week 5 matchup, the Bengals passing attack is also in a position to thrive. The Ravens pass defense ranks 29th in receiving yards allowed (257.5).
The game script should cause Cincinnati to be pressed into creating offense to stay competitive. Thankfully the combination of Burrow’s top-tier arm, Chase’s all-world talent, a suspect Baltimore secondary, and a high scoring game script, create the perfect environment for Chase to thrive.
The Bengals star pass catcher one week further away from his offseason holdout and is poised to be one of the most productive received in the NFL this week.
