Best NFL Wild Card Weekend Same Game Parlays Bets: Ravens vs. Bengals
Let’s get straight into my same-game parlay picks for Sunday’s Super Wild Card Weekend games.
Baltimore Ravens at Cincinnati Bengals (-8.5), Total 40.5
- Ravens under 16.5 points
- J.K. Dobbins under 69.5 rushing yards
- Joe Burrow under 279.5 passing yards
- Odds: +295
This is going to be an ugly conclusion to Wild Card Sunday. Lamar Jackson hasn’t practiced yet and is unlikely to play Sunday night. What’s worse is Tyler Huntley didn’t throw during Wednesday’s open portion of practice. That means Anthony Brown could be back under center for the second straight week against the Bengals.
The spread and total have already been hit hard. So instead of taking a bad number, I’d rather isolate Baltimore’s offense in this same-game parlay. The Ravens were lucky to score 16 points last weekend, and that was partly because Cincinnati laid off the gas once they established a lead. In the postseason, I don’t expect the Bengals to pull back until really late in the contest.
I’d expect the Bengals, who rank 14th in rush defense DVOA, to key on limiting Baltimore’s running game, daring Brown or Huntley to beat them. That means reduced running lanes for Dobbins, who could struggle with less open space to operate.
Finally, the Ravens have a strong secondary that’ll be well prepared and highly motivated, knowing that Baltimore’s defense will have to carry them to a victory. Burrow didn’t come close to clearing this prop in both matchups this season. I don’t expect things to come easy for him Sunday night.
