They are 3-2 in their home games, 3-1 in their road games, and they are also 1-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

The current betting odds have the Bengals listed as a 3.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bengals are only 5-4 overall this season and they just lost at home to the Texans last week but they have been playing a lot better in their games lately and will be looking to bounce back from that loss at home. The Ravens have also looked really good in their games lately with their 7-3 record overall but they are also coming off a loss at home in their last game. The Ravens lost at home to the Browns and will be looking to bounce back against another division rival here but this is a very important game with the competitiveness of this division. The Bengals are at the bottom of the division with a 5-4 record so they need the win in this game too and they will have some extra motivation here since the Ravens took advantage of a banged up Bengals team at the beginning of the season. The Bengals will be looking to bounce back here with revenge on their mind and they are good enough to win this game outright or at least keep it within a field goal in a close game if they lose. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bengals to cover the spread in this game.
