The Cincinnati Bengals are 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS in their last five home games against the Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals hope that home cooking continues in their season opener against the Ravens this Sunday.
- The Ravens are 1-6 SU and 2-5 ATS in their last seven games against the Bengals.
- The Bengals are 8-2 SU and 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games in September.
- The Ravens are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games in the early afternoon.
Cincinnati suffered its first losing season since 2010 last year, also breaking a stretch of four straight seasons with at least 10 wins after going 6-9-1 SU and ATS. An influx of young talent including John Ross at wideout and Joe Mixon at running back should help spark an offense that stalled with only 20.3 points per game this season, but this will still be an offense that relies heavily on the big plays of Andy Dalton to AJ Green.
A Baltimore team that was once a consistent playoff staple has only had one winning season in the last four years. The Ravens went a pedestrian 8-8 SU and 7-9 ATS in 2016, hampered by an 0-6 SU and 1-5 ATS road record over its last five road games. Baltimore will try to carry the momentum of a 4-0 SU and ATS preseason into this weekend’s contest.
