Let’s get into our Bengals vs Ravens Same Game Parlay picks, with the matchup getting underway at 8:20 pm ET on NBC.

Bengals +7 (-110)
Under 51.5 (-105)
Derrick Henry anytime touchdown scorer (-235)
Bengals vs Ravens Same Game Parlay odds: +575
Part of the value in a Same Game Parlay, of course, is that you can have legs that somewhat contradict each other to drive up the price. For example, Derrick Henry having a solid game doesn’t necessarily correlate with the Bengals covering the number. However, regardless of the result, we don’t expect the Lions to be shut out entirely and with the way Detroit has been running the ball playing this season, Montgomery looks capable of putting together a solid performance. Let’s break down each leg.
Cincinnati Bengals +7 over Baltimore Ravens (-110)
While the Ravens have climbed back into first place in the AFC North, Baltimore has still left plenty to be desired in those performances. In fact, just last week the Ravens were outgained by the lowly Jets at home in a game where Baltimore was plus-two in turnovers and very fortunate to win by double digits. Lamar Jackson has not thrown for over 200 yards in each of the last 5 games and his rushing totals are also much lower than what we saw from the 2-time MVP prior to the injury he suffered earlier this season. As for the Bengals, Cincinnati is getting Burrow back in the lineup, and the quarterback is almost as valuable of a player as any QB across the league. Given Baltimore’s struggles on offense, the visitors are certainly capable of keeping this thing close on Thursday.

Under 51.5 (-110)
Last year’s meetings between these teams produced plenty of fireworks, but I don’t foresee the same game script playing out this time around. As previously mentioned the Ravens’ offense has still not looked like themselves with Lamar Jackson working his way back from injury over the last month, specifically in the downfield passing game. With that in mind, even against a Bengals defense that is among the worst units in football, we’re not convinced that Baltimore will get back on track in this one. On the other side, Cincinnati is facing off against a Ravens defense that is trending up in recent weeks and should be primed for a solid effort at home in prime time. This total currently sits above the key number of 51, so the under is the only way I can look in this one.

Derrick Henry anytime touchdown scorer (-235)
The Ravens passing offense is a significant source for concern down the road this season and potentially into the AFC playoffs, but for now, Baltimore should be able to lean on its rushing attack and grind out some key wins against conference foes. That’s where Derrick Henry comes in, as the veteran running back should have quite the workload this week, especially given Jackson’s hesitance to run the ball himself in recent weeks. As long as Henry is upright on Thursday, he should get at least 18-20 more carries, including at least a couple in the red zone. Henry has racked up 3 touchdowns over the last 2 games, so let’s go back to the well with that angle to close out our SGP.
