Cincinnati Bengals vs Baltimore Ravens Prediction, Odds and NFL Picks for Sunday, 10/25/26

The Bengals sit in last place of the AFC North, but could be atop the division by the end of Sunday’s action. Cincinnati owns a 3-2 record, while the rest of the division possesses 4-2 records.

Baltimore jumped out to a 10-0 first quarter lead at Cleveland last Sunday, but the Ravens were shut out over the last three quarters in a 13-10 defeat. The Ravens were on their way to a 5-1 record, but couldn’t get the offense going without QB Lamar Jackson, who missed his second straight game with an ankle injury. Jackson is questionable once again, as Tyler Huntley will be in line to start if the two-time MVP can’t go. Baltimore’s offense ranks in the Top-10 in EPA/Pass (6th), EPA/Rush (9th), and success rate (9th). 

The Bengals are off the bye week following a 31-24 victory at winless Miami in Week 5 to snap a two-game losing streak. Cincinnati started the season at 2-0 following victories over Tampa Bay and Houston. The Bengals went backwards in consecutive weeks with losses in the favorite role to Pittsburgh and Jacksonville by a combined eight points.

The Bengals took advantage of three Miami turnovers and held on despite racking up 307 yards. QB Joe Burrow threw 4 TD passes for Cincinnati, marking his third game with multiple TD tosses this season.

The road team won each of the two matchups last season, highlighted by Burrow’s return from injury on Thanksgiving in a 32-14 triumph as 7.5-point underdogs. The Ravens have trailed in the fourth quarter in two wins and led in the fourth quarter in two losses. Let’s look at Baltimore here as a short underdog even with Jackson likely not playing to rebound against Cincinnati.

Baltimore looked like it was going to score a bunch of points at Cleveland last Sunday after putting up 10 in the opening quarter without injured QB Lamar Jackson. However, the Ravens were blanked in the final three quarters of a critical 13-10 divisional defeat at Cleveland.

It looks like Tyler Huntley will start his third straight game at QB in place of Jackson, as Baltimore is off its worst offensive performance of the season. However, the defense allowed a season-low 13 points after giving up at least 23 points in four of the first five games.

The Bengals travel to Baltimore off a bye week seeking consecutive overs for the first time this season. Cincinnati outlasted Miami in Week 5 with a 31-24 road victory on a 44.5 total, its second-lowest total of the season.

Sunday’s total sits at 48.5, which is the second-highest total for Baltimore after going over 54.5 points in its 34-31 win over Dallas in Brazil in Week 3. In last season’s two matchups, both games never threatened the over as the under of 52.5 cashed each time. In Cincinnati’s 32-14 blowout of Baltimore on Thanksgiving, the Bengals kicked six field goals and scored a pair of TDs. Baltimore shut out Cincinnati on the road, 24-0, two weeks later, ending a streak of three straight times allowing at least 30 points to the Bengals.

Let’s go with the under here as either Huntley will start for Baltimore or Jackson will go at less than 100%.
