The Ravens have won 2 straight, and it’s the direct result of RB Derrick Henry being let loose. The Ravens have abandoned the shotgun formation QB Lamar Jackson loves and put him under center. The result: 49 rushes for 350 yards and 3 TDs from Henry the last 2 weeks.

Ravens at Bengals picks and predictions
Prediction
Ravens 35, Bengals 21
Moneyline
The Bengals are 25th in the league with 145.5 rushing yards allowed per game, and their top DT is doubtful. The Ravens are going to run all over them, control the clock and keep Burrow on the sidelines pondering ditching the Slim Shady hairdo. I’d rather take the spread, though.
Instead of the ML, take DERRICK HENRY OVER 79.5 RUSHING YARDS (-120).
He had a 22-122-1 game against the Bengals while with Tennessee last season.
Against the spread
Laying 2½ points for the road favorites is a miniscule amount to overcome. The Ravens will control the clock and put it in pay dirt.
Take the RAVENS -2.5 (-110).
Over/Under
The Ravens cashed their first Under of the season last week, and the Bengals have cashed 3 straight Overs. This matchup has featured 2 straight Over finishes. Baltimore is averaging the 5th-most points (26.5), and the Bengals aren’t far behind at 9th with 25.5 per game.
Take the OVER 48.5 (-110).
