NFL Week 11 Betting Previews- Cincinnati Bengals vs. Baltimore Ravens Point spread: Baltimore -7 Over/Under: 41 |
The Cincinnati Bengals and the Baltimore Ravens clash this Sunday afternoon at M&T Bank Stadium in a crucial AFC North tilt that will have an impact on both team’s playoff chances. The game is set to get underway at 1 p.m. (ET) and it will be broadcast nationally on CBS.
Cincinnati’s 24-17 loss to Pittsburgh last Sunday as a 3.5-point road underdog dropped it to 6-3 straight-up (7-2 against the spread) on the year, but it is still just a half game behind the Steelers in the division race. The total went ‘over’ the 40.5-point line and has now gone ‘over’ in seven of its first nine games.
A couple of injury concerns for the Bengals for this game include wide receiver A.J. Green and tight end Jermaine Gresham, but if they are going to get a win on the road it will be behind a defense that remains ranked fifth in the NFL in points allowed.
Baltimore finds itself in the same boat in the division at 6-3 SU (5-4 ATS) after an unexplainable 22-17 loss to Seattle last Sunday as a seven-point road favorite. The total in this game went ‘over’ the 38.5-point line and has now gone ‘over’ in seven of nine games this year.
Much like the Bengals, the Ravens owe a large part of their success this season to a defense that is ranked at the top of the league in just about every major category. The offense, for the most part, has also been productive with an average of 25 points a game.
Cincinnati is 10-2 ATS in its last 12 games overall and 6-1 ATS in its last seven games as underdogs. The total has gone ‘over’ in six of its last seven games against the AFC.
Baltimore is 9-4 ATS in its last 13 games as a favorite of 3.5 points or more. The total has gone ‘over’ in its last six games following a SU loss.
Head-to-head in this series, the Bengals are 5-2 ATS in their last seven trips to Baltimore and 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings overall. The total has stayed ‘under’ in the last four games between the two. The Ravens rarely play poorly two games in-a-row so stick with them to take care of business on Sunday with a convincing win at home.
