The Bengals and Ravens meet in a huge AFC North divisional matchup on Thursday Night Football. This is the second time they’ve faced each other this season with Baltimore winning the first meeting 41-38 in Cincinnati.
This time, the Ravens enter as 6.5-point home favorites, with the game’s total climbing to 53 — a strong indicator that we’re in for another high-scoring affair. Given both teams’ tendencies, this game could bring plenty of opportunity to cash in on overs for various player props. I’ve put together a Same Game Parlay (SGP) on DraftKings for just that:
Bengals +7.5 & Joe Burrow 250+ passing yards & Ja’Marr Chase 70+ receiving yards & Derrick Henry 90+ rushing yards (+550, DraftKings)
This game is crucial for Cincinnati’s playoff aspirations; a loss won’t mathematically eliminate them, but it would make their postseason path significantly more difficult. Cincinnati will be throwing the kitchen sink at the Ravens, but for the sake of this parlay, I’m going to buy an extra point to get this over the key number of seven.
Joe Burrow should comfortably hit 250+ passing yards. In their first meeting, he torched Baltimore for 392 yards and five touchdowns. The Ravens’ pass defense remains a weak spot, ranking 29th in EPA/dropback and allowing the league’s highest explosive pass rate (13.1%). They’ve struggled against even mid-tier QBs, giving up 334 yards and three TDs to Jameis Winston in his first start, 370 to Baker Mayfield, and 269 to Jayden Daniels.
With Tee Higgins likely sidelined, Ja'Marr Chase should be the primary target for Burrow’s air attack. Chase exploded for 193 yards and two touchdowns in their Week 5 matchup and has seen double-digit targets in each of the last two games. Baltimore’s secondary has been vulnerable to WR1s recently, with top receivers posting 122, 99, 100, and 68 yards in the past four games. Even with some double coverage, Chase should easily reach 70+ yards.
Derrick Henry has been a powerhouse this season, logging 100+ rushing yards in three of his last four outings. He managed 92 yards against Cincinnati in their last meeting and now has a favorable matchup with BJ Hill out for the Bengals. Hill’s absence weakens Cincinnati’s defensive line, making Henry’s path to 90+ yards even easier.
