Bengals vs Ravens NFL Betting Pick
Game time: 11/16/2021 at 8:15 PM (EST)
Bet on the Baltimore Ravens at -4
In this matchup, both teams are coming on the field after experiencing a loss that should have been a win. However, the Bengals will probably be without WR Tee Higgins due to a hamstring injury from last week.
For this matchup, Jackson is in great shape and will be facing a bad Bengals run defense. Needless to say, this makes a setting for an ideal running game for the Ravens. Therefore, we predict the Baltimore Ravens will win and cover the spread with a final score of 27-19.
