The current betting odds have the Bengals listed as a 2.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bengals haven't looked good in their games this season with their 4-9 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the AFC North. They haven't looked great on their home field either with their 2-4 home record this year. Meanwhile, the Ravens haven't looked good in their games this season with their 6-7 record overall, but that record has them right near the top of the AFC North in a weak division. They have been a better road team though with their 3-2 road record this year. The Ravens had a terrible start to the season as they were 1-5 at one point and started to get hot, looking like they were going to pass the Steelers in the division, but now they are off a 27-22 loss to the Steelers in their last one and have hit a snag with 2 losses in a row now. The defense has looked a lot better than the way they started the season, but their offense hasn't looked great lately with Lamar Jackson not playing at his best. The Bengals are off a 39-34 loss to the Bills in their last one and that was a tough game to lose with the lead they had, but they have looked a lot better in their games since Burrow came back from his injury. The offense has been rolling lately and the Bengals are still alive to win the division too. The Bengals beat the Ravens a few weeks ago and they always play a tight game with the Ravens. The Bengals need this game just as bad as the Ravens do, and the Ravens just haven't looked right lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bengals to cover the spread in this game.
