Sporting News: Bengals 24, Ravens 17

Vinnie Iyer writes: "The Ravens just can't find enough offense without Lamar Jackson beyond Mark Andrews and the running game. The Bengals will be working to gain better momentum going into their AFC championship repeat run. There's a chance this is the rematch for the first round of the playoffs, so Zac Taylor and Lou Anarumo must be a bit wary of what they plan to do a third time with Joe Burrow and the defense."

Bill Speros writes: "This game was taken off the board following the suspension of Monday night's game between the Bills and Bengals in Cincinnati. The Bengals could be in the hunt for the top spot in the AFC. The Ravens are reeling without Lamar Jackson. Cincinnati is eyeing another Super Bowl run. Lamar remains questionable this week."

OddsChecker: Go with the Ravens with the points vs. Bengals

It writes: "The Bengals are currently 7 point favorites. With Lamar Jackson expected to return soon, that’s already too rich. Add in the fact that we’re not entirely sure yet if the Bengals will be playing their starters or not and it’s even harder to take that seriously. So, until given a reason otherwise the Ravens seem like the play here."

Pro Football Network: Bet the Bengals to cover vs. Ravens

BJ Rudell writes: "If Jackson returns, this spread probably will drop to -2 or -1. In that scenario, I’d still pick the Bengals, thanks to a robust passing game that should overpower Baltimore, handing Cincy the AFC North crown."

Sporting News: Bengals 24, Ravens 20

Bill Bender writes: "Will Lamar Jackson return? How much rust will he show if that is the case? Baltimore won the first meeting 19-17, but the Bengals have been arguably the best team in the AFC through the second half of the season. The Ravens' defense has allowed just 12.1 points per game in five games without Jackson. How does that translate against the Bengals?"
