The Cincinnati Bengals host the Baltimore Ravens at Paycor Stadium on Sunday, December 14, and the season is all but on the line for Baltimore.
My early Ravens vs. Bengals predictions and NFL picks call for Cincy to cover the number for a fourth consecutive week in a high-scoring game between the AFC North rivals in Week 15.

Early Ravens vs Bengals spread pick: Bengals +2.5
The Baltimore Ravens have dropped consecutive games — including a 32-14 loss at home to the Cincinnati Bengals — and they're still a road favorite in Week 15 despite a miserable 4-9 against the spread record.
Baltimore just allowed the Pittsburgh Steelers to put up 27 points and finish with the fifth-highest EPA per play ahead of the Week 14 Monday Night Football tilt, and now they’ll hit the highway to face a Cincy squad that’s covered the number in three straight.
Cincy quarterback Joe Burrow is sixth in EPA+CPOE composite through two games since returning to action, while Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson is 20th.
The Bengals offense also got wide receiver Tee Higgins back in Week 14, and there’s been little resistance from the Ravens on defense the past two weeks, so I like Cincy putting enough points on the board to cover the number at home in Week 15.
Early Ravens vs Bengals total pick: Over 51.5
In addition to there being little stop in the Baltimore defense, the Cincinnati stop unit has been among the worst in the NFL all season, allowing the most yards per play and points per game.
Plus, even with Jackson’s recent struggles, the Ravens have scored the 13th-most points per game (23.9) while gaining the 11th-most yards per play. Baltimore also dominated the time of possession (33:44) against the Steelers in Week 14.
Additionally, Baltimore and Cincinnati had played to the Over in each of their previous four meetings before coming up short two weeks ago.
