Ja'Marr Chase Over 67.5 Receiving Yards (-115, DraftKings)
The Ravens secondary has been outright terrible to start the season. They rank dead last in the NFL in passing defense, allowing 315.3 passing yards per game. Enter Ja'Marr Chase, owner of the Baltimore Ravens' secondary. In his rookie season, Chase torched the Ravens' secondary notching 201 and 125 receiving yards in two contests. Furthermore, in Chase's last ten games, he has exceeded 67.5 receiving yards in six of them (60%). I will not be surprised when Chase burns this defense once again on Sunday night.
Joe Burrow Over 271.5 Passing Yards (-113, FanDuel) & Over 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-129, BetRivers)
As mentioned before, the Ravens secondary is atrocious. Along with Chase, Joe Burrow absolutely lit up the Ravens secondary in 2021, notching 400+ passing yards in both games. In two games against the divisional opponent, Burrow threw for a combined 941 yards and seven touchdowns. That's 470.5 passing yards per game against this sorry defense. Furthermore, Burrow has exceeded 271.5 passing yards in six of his last ten games (60%) and thrown for two or more touchdowns in seven of the last ten (70%). All of this coupled with a Ravens defense that allows 315.3 passing yards per game spells a great game for Joe Burrow.
Lamar Jackson Over 57.5 Rushing Yards (-113, FanDuel)
Lamar Jackson adds a unique threat on the ground unlike any quarterback this century not named Michael Vick. In the last three games, Jackson is averaging 99.7 rushing yards per game. Additionally, Jackson has a career average of 64.3 rushing yards per game. Although the Bengals have a top-ten run defense four games into 2022, Jackson has surpassed the 57.5 rushing yard mark at a consistent rate over his career. Furthermore, the Bengals have yet to face a true dual-threat quarterback this season, let alone an elite run offense. Based on these historical numbers, this line feels like highway robbery. I will be betting the over on Jackson’s rushing yards prop.
