2021 NFL: 14-9-1, +5.88u
I’m going to wait to see how today’s CFB action goes before making any other plays on the NFL card, but I want to go ahead and give this one out while it’s at this number. See below.
*NFL(1.5u): Bengals/Ravens OVER 46–Sun. Noon CT
The Bengals defense has performed well this season, but I’m not buying into the hype. Cincinnati has played weak offenses such as Detroit, Jacksonville, Pittsburgh, and Chicago this season. Green Bay put up 25 points against this Bengals D a few weeks ago, but when you consider Mason Crosby missed 3 FG’s and an XP, it should’ve easily been a 30-35 point performance for Green Bay that day. Lamar Jackson provides a unique threat as a versatile QB that the Bengals simply haven’t proven that they can stop. With that being said, it’s hard to ignore how well the Bengals have looked offensively. Joe Burrow is living up to the hype, and his weapons on the outside(Higgins, Chase, etc.) are making his life much easier. It also helps that Burrow has a great talent sharing the backfield with him in RB Joe Mixon. Even going up against a stingy defense like Baltimore, I think the Bengals have a chance to flirt with the 24-25 point mark in this game. I expect each offense to take center stage and for this one to creep over posted total.
