Baltimore Beatdown
Despite the Bengals’ Thanksgiving win in Baltimore, the Ravens are still favored by 2.5 points for this weekend’s rematch in Cincinnati.
Both teams are coming off disappointing losses. The Ravens dropped their second home game in a row to move one game behind the Steelers in the AFC North. The Bengals could not win a snowy shootout against the Bills, with their playoff odds now dropping to 3%, per The Athletic.
This line feels a little odd considering the last meeting between the two teams and Baltimore’s disappointing performance against Pittsburgh. Sure, the Bengals defense is still clearly an issue, but the Ravens failed to take advantage of their weakness on Thanksgiving. Their offense woke up in the second half of Sunday’s game, but there is little reason to believe that will carry into their trip to Cincinnati.
Here are the Ravens’ full Week 15 odds, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.
Ravens: -2.5 (-110)
Bengals: +2.5 (-110)
51.5 points (—110/-110)

Bengals: +120
