Baltimore Ravens - NFL Betting Analysis
This week, the Baltimore Ravens are hoping to get back in the win column after falling 16-13 to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The loss was costly, as it came against an AFC North opponent. Baltimore lost the game, even though they entered the game as -0.5 point favorites. The over-under betting total going into the game was 35, which the teams did not surpass. This was a difficult loss for Baltimore, as they held 7 point lead heading into the 4th quarter. Through 16 games, the Ravens have an ATS record of 7-9. So far, they have an over-under record of 4-12. This week's betting total of 42.5 is right in line with their previous games.
Heading into this week's matchup, the Ravens offense is averaging 20.9 points per game, placing them 20th in the NFL. This week, the team is matched up against the league's 5th-ranked defense at 20.4 points per game allowed. For the year, the Ravens are 29th in pass yards per game, averaging 127.8 yards per contest. A key matchup to watch through the game is if Baltimore will continue to run the ball well at 163.1 yards per game. This year, the Bengals are one of the top-rush defenses in the NFL at 106.4 yards allowed.
Cincinnati Bengals - NFL Betting Analysis
Cincinnati is looking to tack on another victory, as they defeated New England Patriots by a score of 22-18 in week 16. Cincinnati entered the game as a -3.0 point favorite and went on to cover the spread. The team's combined scoring of 40 points fell below the posted betting line of 41.

Heading into this week's matchup, the Bengals offense is averaging 26.1 points per game, placing them 6th in the NFL. Even though they have a tough matchup against the league's 3rd ranked defense, look for Cincinnati to continue their strong offensive play.

In addition, they are facing off against a defense that has been vulnerable in the secondary. On the ground, Cincinnati is just 26th ranked team in rush yards per game and are facing the NFL's 3rd ranked rush defense.
