Today’s pick for Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens:
Under 46.5. Playable at that number.
Baltimore’s defense has really stepped up in recent weeks, and Cincinnati’s hasn’t been getting nearly as much credit as it should. The Bengals are allowing just 3.9 yards per rush attempt, which is the seventh-best mark in the NFL.
Meanwhile, they’re only allowing 6.5 yards per pass attempt which is the third-best mark in the league. Despite all the buzz Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase have been getting, Cincy’s stout defense has been the real secret behind their 4-2 start.
As for the Ravens, they struggled to deal with Carson Wentz and the Colts but aside from that they’ve pretty much been lights out. They held Denver to just seven points a few weeks back and really stepped up to totally shut down the Chargers and allow them to score just six last week. Baltimore’s pass-rush has been red-hot lately and that’s Burrow’s weakness.
Both teams will know that the winner goes to the top of the AFC North and will be playing with plenty of intensity, so don’t expect too many points to be scored in this one.
