Week 10 kicks off with an AFC North rivalry as the Cincinnati Bengals (4-5) travel to Maryland to take on the Baltimore Ravens (6-3) on “Thursday Night Football.” These teams have faced each other 58 times in their history, with the Ravens holding a 31-26 advantage in the regular season – including winning four of the last five meetings – while the Bengals have won the only postseason game . These two teams have already met once this season, with the Ravens coming away with a 41-38 win in overtime.

The Bengals have been inconsistent this season, but really need a win to stay in contention for a possible AFC North title. Joe Burrow had a really good performance against the Raiders last week, throwing five touchdowns and spreading the ball to his receivers, tight ends and running backs. The Bengals’ chances of winning this game likely hinge heavily on his throwing arm.

The Ravens are on fire right now. Currently, they have the second-highest points per game average at 31.4 (behind only the Detroit Lions), are producing the most yards per game, and are coming off their third win where they scored over 40 points. Lamar Jackson and Zay Flowers have been running teams through the air, while Derrick Henry is running over defenses on the ground. Baltimore’s defense has been surprisingly weak this season, but they are coming off one of their best performances of the year, recording four sacks against the Broncos and holding them to just 10 points.

Betting line and choice for the game

The folks at FanDuel Sportsbook favor Baltimore in this game, with the betting line set Raven -5.5 points. I expect another shootout in this game, and while I have a hard time betting against the Ravens in this game, I suspect it’s closer than the betting line suggests.

Prediction: Raven 31-28
