If Thursday night's rematch in between the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens goes anything like their Week 5 conference, we're in for some fireworks. These groups integrated for 79 points when they played in October, consisting of 31 in the 4th quarter and a game-winning basket in overtime to raise the Ravens to a 41-38 triumph.
There will be some significant distinctions in the cast of gamers offered on these particular offenses for round 2.
The Ravens have actually because gotten pass receiver Diontae Johnson, who figures to handle a larger function after being held without a catch in his group launching recently. And the Bengals will likely lack Tee Higgins for a 3rd straight video game, as he's noted as uncertain with a quad injury.
Higgins' status is most likely playing into the spread, which prefers the Ravens by 6 points in your home. Provided Baltimore's protective battles, the Bengals still have an opportunity to make this one fascinating.

Bengals +6
There's an excellent factor more cash is riding on a Bengals cover than Baltimore. This is merely a lot of indicate lay versus an offense as explosive as Cincinnati's versus a defense as bad as Baltimore's.
The Bengals are seventh in the NFL in both pass lawns per video game and points per video game. The Ravens are last in pass lawns permitted and 22nd in points permitted. Tee Higgins' lack will definitely restrict the methods which Cincinnati can move the ball, however the Ravens still will not have a response for Ja'Marr Chase, who had 10 catches for 193 backyards and 2 goals their very first conference.
I still prefer the Ravens to win, since I do not believe the Bengals have much of a response for their offense either– particularly Derrick Henry on the ground. Joe Burrow will not have a tough time reacting– which makes the over another great bet– and I would not be amazed if he pulled off an upset.

Chase Brown under 60.5 hurrying backyards
Brown and Zack Moss integrated for 70 backyards the last time Cincy played Baltimore, so it's simple to persuade yourself Brown can strike that number alone with Moss now out the lineup. I'm not so sure about that.
Neither carried on with excellent performance that video game. Brown had simply 46 backyards on 12 brings, and if you remove his long bring of 16 lawns, he balanced less than 3 backyards. Not to discuss, the Bengals traded for Khalil Herbert to change the hurt Moss.
