The 2nd half of the NFL season is officially arriving as we enter the Thursday Night Football clash of week 10, and we are getting a classic duel in the AFC North as the Ravens and Bengals try to consolidate in the postseason battle.
The Ravens recovered quickly from their slip against the Browns and are fighting tooth and nail with the Steelers for the Division leadership.
Cincinnati also recovered, in their case, from a defeat against the Eagles by obliterating the Las Vegas Raiders, but they keep being far from the fight for the Division title.
The Bengals will not be getting many chances to reestablish in the fight, so this is a win-or-die game.

Why bet on the Ravens?
The Baltimore Ravens are trying to take the lead in the AFC North, as they are tied with the Steelers on six wins but have an extra loss. However, the team has been doing pretty well on their home field, having won three out of four in front of their crowd, and they come in confident as they face rivals they already beat as visitors this season.
The Baltimore Ravens lost to the Browns, but they bounced back in the win column after they took a win over the Broncos. That makes it three straight home wins. Lamar Jackson is completing 68.2 percent of his passes for 2,379 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman have combined for 1,101 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns, while Mark Andrews has 24 receptions.
They have a tough challenge ahead of them but thrive at home, and their crowd will be pleased to see this match go down.
Why bet on the Bengals?
The Cincinnati Bengals are third in their Division with four wins and five losses, and they come into this match trying to pick up the pace and even out. However, they will face a conference rival that has been on a nice run, and it has tobe pointed out that the Bengals are looking a lot better on the road than they have at their home field.
They lost to the Eagles, beat the Raiders, and now need to go through the Ravens, so they will try to improve their momentum from the last game.
The Cincinnati Bengals have won three straight road games. Joe Burrow is completing 70.2 percent of his passes for 2,244 yards, 20 touchdowns, and four interceptions. Ja’Marr Chase and Mike Gesicki have combined for 1,070 receiving yards and nine touchdowns, while Tee Higgins has 29 receptions.
The team is looking good whenever they are not at home, which makes them a tough opponent.
Final Betting Analysis: Ravens vs. Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals have had issues stringing together success. Their defense isn’t as trustworthy, and they’re banged up on both sides of the ball.
The Baltimore Ravens are rolling outside of their weird loss to the Browns, and they’re 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games. At home, with the short week, it’s hard to bet against this Raven’s side right now.
This is clearly an interesting match, as we have a team on a three-home matches win streak against a team on a three-away matches win streak facing each other on their strong spots. However, our betting token is placed on the Ravens to keep things going well at the OVER.
Go for a victory for the locals at 1.962. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $96.2 for a total payout of $196.2.
