Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 10
The fantasy playoff stretch drive starts with an excellent AFC North battle. This rematch of a Week 5 shootout won by the Baltimore Ravens 41-38 over the Cincinnati Bengals should be one of the NFL's games of the month. The FullTime Fantasy Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 10 breaks down the game from a fantasy and sports betting perspective.
At 4-5 with a loss to the Ravens already in the books, this is a crucial game for the Bengals' playoff odds. And after losing five of their last six against Baltimore, the pressure is on for Zac Taylor's bunch.
Meanwhile, the Ravens boast the league's top offense. John Harbaugh's team added reinforcements at the trade deadline and has had Cincinnati's number of late.
Baltimore opened as 3-point favorites but that line quickly doubled. Meanwhile, the total, which opened at 47, has shot up to a Week 10-high 53 points.
Matchup
Last week's Jets/Texans game was a snoozer. However, this game has some potential. Both squads rank inside the top 6 in scoring. And the first meeting between these rivals resulted in 962 combined yards and 53 first downs. Inject it into our veins!
The Bengals are a pass-first team led by Joe Burrow, who ranks third in fantasy points and is tied for second in the league with 20 touchdown passes. However, Cincinnati ranks 26th in rushing and is better at defending the run than the pass.
But the Ravens have the best offense in the NFL, ranking first in rushing and second in passing. That makes Baltimore's balance problematic for the Bengals and every opponent.
Cincinnati Offense...
TEAM | OFFENSE | PASS | RUSH | YDS/PLAY | POINTS |
Cincinnati Bengals | 17 | 5 | 26 | 14 | 6 |
Baltimore Ravens | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
