Bengals at Ravens picks and predictions

Prediction

Ravens 38, Bengals 34

Moneyline

PASS.

There is minimal value on the Ravens, who are 6-1 in their last 7 games, to take down the Bengals at home on Thursday.

Against the spread

LEAN BENGALS -6 (-110).

Cincinnati has covered the spread in 3 of its last 4 games. It has scored 21 or more points in 6 of its 9 games while its defense has improved vastly of late allowing 14 or fewer points in 2 of its last 4 games. Baltimore has failed to cover the spread in 2 of its last 4 games while allowing 23 or more points in 4 of its last 5 games.

Over/Under

BET OVER 53.5 (-110).

Baltimore has the best Over record in the NFL this season at 8-1 while Cincinnati is tied for third-best at 6-3. Cincinnati has hit the Over in back-to-back games while Baltimore has hit the Over in 5 games in a row. The last time these teams faced each other they scored 79 total points.

The final week of the preseason includes a matchup between the 2 participants in Super Bowl 56 six months ago, the Los Angeles Rams (1-1) and Cincinnati Bengals (0-2). They’ll square off at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati on Saturday, with kickoff set for 6 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rams vs. Bengals odds, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Rams went 0-3 in the preseason last year, but they come into this game 1-1 after beating the Los Angeles Chargers in the opener 29-22 and losing to the Houston Texans 24-20 in Week 2. Their record should be taken with a grain of salt because they haven’t played any of their starters – nor will they on Saturday against the Bengals.

The Bengals are 0-2 after losing 25-22 to the New York Giants and 36-23 to the Arizona Cardinals. Like the Rams, they’ve taken a cautious approach to the preseason, only playing their backups and protecting their top players from injury. That’ll be the case on Saturday, too, especially after they got in 2 days of practice with the Rams on Wednesday and Thursday.

Rams at Bengals picks and predictions

Prediction

Rams 23, Bengals 20

Money line

Aside from some poor play up front, the Rams offense has actually looked pretty good in the preseason, especially with QB Bryce Perkins under center. QB John Wolford‘s status is unclear after he suffered a thumbnail injury on his right hand, so it could be Perkins getting every snap.

If that’s the case, I like the RAMS (+115) to win outright against the Bengals.

Against the spread

Preseason games have been fairly close this year, and the Rams have played 2 games that were decided by 1 possession. The Bengals were beaten handily by the Giants in Week 2, and while I don’t expect another lopsided game in this one, I do think it’ll be the Rams coming out on top.

Getting 2.5 points, I like the RAMS +2.5 (-103) to cover and at least keep the score close – even if the Bengals wind up winning.

Over/Under

The total has gone Over in each of the Rams and Bengals’ first 4 games of the preseason. Even without starters playing in this one, I expect both teams to put up enough points to push the total over the 37.5-point line.

Perkins provides a spark for the Rams and Brandon Allen is a capable quarterback in Cincinnati – even if he isn’t overly aggressive.

Bet the OVER (-115).
