The Ravens went into Paycor Stadium and avenged its playoff loss to the Bengals in Week 2. In the process, it handed the online sportsbook a major win after 66 percent of the bets and 76 percent of the money laid the points with Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. While it proved to be a back-and-forth affair, the box score suggests it was anything but with Baltimore outgaining Cincy 415-282 and averaging 5.9 yards per play to 4.9 while racking up 26 first downs and converting three of four red zone penetrations into touchdowns. Had the special teams not conceded that 81-yard punt return in the second quarter which allowed the Bengals to get on the board, it’s possible the Ravens went on to win the game going away. Lamar Jackson looked much more confident running OC Todd Monken’s attack evidenced by playing to a 112.8 QB rating and throwing for 237 yards and a 2:0 TD/INT ratio. While the defense was horrific on third down allowing the Bengals to convert 10 of 15 tries, it only allowed two touchdowns on four red zone appearances and tallied the game’s lone sack. It making a concerted effort to shut Ja’Marr Chase down allowed Tee Higgins to get his after getting blanked in the season opener at Cleveland. Regardless, the team logged the 27-24 outright win as field goal underdogs to enter Week 3 the only undefeated in the AFC North.
