Ravens Spotlight

Baltimore has been on fire winning 5 straight games, while winning 6 straight at home. They’ve also enjoyed facing AFC opponents where they’ve gone 8-3 ATS in their last 11 versus an AFC opponent, and 8-1 ATS in their last 9 vs the AFC North. Baltimore’s offense has been meticulous, eating up time and grinding drives where they rank 4th in time on the field and 9th in number of plays. 

Bengals Spotlight

Cincinnati has been playing solid football lately winning 3 of their last 4 games, while their defense has been a catalyst giving up just 16.7 points per game during that span. They actually sport the stingiest road defense in the league where they rank 1st in points allowed, 4th in pass yards, 2nd in rushing yards, and 1st in yards per play. One problem they have is getting off the field as they rank 21st in time on the field.

Final Say

Neither team has been profitable after an ATS win as Baltimore is 0-4 ATS following an ATS win, and Cincinnati is 1-5 ATS following an ATS win. We have a matchup that should have long time-eating drives, while both teams have a top-10 redzone defense, which are good recipes for an under. These teams seem to play conservative football following an ATS win as the under is 4-0 in Cincinnati’s last 4 games following an ATS. The under is also 4-0 in Baltimore’s last 4 games after scoring 30+ points. Under is 5-0 in Cincinnati’s last 5 games and it’s 6-1 in Baltimore’s last 7 games on a Sunday. Under is the play here.
