🔮 Bengals vs. Ravens prediction

Baltimore’s defensive structure is the difference in this matchup. The Ravens’ pass rush has been more efficient of late, and the projection leans heavily on their ability to heat up Burrow in his first game back from injury. That allows Baltimore to stay sound on the back end, rally to Ja'Marr Chase, and force Cincinnati into a higher number of long-yardage situations than they’re comfortable with. Offensively, Baltimore leans on a balanced plan built around Lamar Jackson’s efficiency throwing to Zay Flowers and the burst Keaton Mitchell brings once they spread Cincinnati out.

The Bengals keep this competitive early, but Baltimore’s drive-to-drive consistency and red-zone execution show up over four quarters. Cincinnati’s defense has struggled to generate stops against multi-dimensional offenses, and the Ravens profile as a tough matchup for a unit that has given up too many explosive plays on the perimeter. Baltimore controls this one late, pulling away behind a clean Jackson performance and a defense that gets off the field in key spots.

Score prediction: Ravens 30, Bengals 20

⬆️ Zay Flowers Over 64.5 receiving yards

This matchup sets up cleanly for Flowers to clear a mid-60s receiving line, as our projection landed at 7 receptions for 92 yards. Cincinnati’s defense has struggled all season to contain dynamic WR1 types in space, especially when forced into single-high looks behind a pass rush that hasn’t consistently finished plays. Flowers is uniquely equipped to exploit those weaknesses: he wins quickly at the line, creates separation on crossers and intermediate breaks, and has become Jackson’s most reliable read when Baltimore anticipates pressure. With the Ravens expected to control the pace and sustain drives, Flowers should see 7–10 targets in a script that favors volume.

The Bengals also present a structural advantage for Baltimore’s passing game. Their linebackers have been targeted heavily in zone coverage, and their safeties have been inconsistent in match-and-carry responsibilities across the middle — both areas where Flowers shines. Cincinnati’s focus on containing Lamar’s scrambling lanes often leads to softer underneath cushions and more space for YAC opportunities. If Baltimore operates with the efficiency our model calls for, Flowers projects as the primary beneficiary, making Over 64.5 yards a strong play backed by matchup, usage, and projected game flow.

Best bet: Zay Flowers Over 64.5 receiving yards (-114 via DraftKings)
