Line Moves in the Ravens vs Bengals Week 5

Femi Abebefe breaks down the market movement in the division showdown between Baltimore and Cincinnati

Transcript

00:00in the National Football League, AFC North in week number five, the Baltimore Ravens visit the

00:06Cincinnati Bengals. Bengals get off the Schneid last week, first win of the season.

00:09What's happening here at the Ravens and the Bengals in the Queen City?

00:12Yeah, the side has been static. We're still sitting at two and a half. If we ever got a

00:16three, I would bet the Cincinnati Bengals. But the total, interestingly enough, has actually gone

00:20toward the under 51, which is a key number. Once again, 44 a key number, 51 a key number in totals

00:26betting now we're 50 and a half. So money coming in on the under, and I don't know if I necessarily

00:31agree with that, and let's see how low this ends up going. But I think it's an interesting move

00:36because you have the two defenses. Baltimore's defense really flexed its muscles against Buffalo

00:40on Sunday night, but Cincinnati has been able to score whenever they're at least clicking.

00:44And now they do have Joe Burrow and Higgins and Chase. All those guys seem to be clicking,

00:48and they've found success against Baltimore in the past. And also we know Cincinnati's defense

00:52not very good. So interesting that the market went ahead and bet this under when I think,

00:57at least on the surface level, a lot of people thought that this would be a higher scoring game.

01:00So I'm curious to see where this goes throughout the week. But 51, now 50 and a half in the terms

01:05of the total. Just an opinion thing on this here, and I do think this game will be higher scoring.

01:10I would bet the over if I had to bet it. Maybe it's just, is Baltimore just going to run for

01:14a million yards in every game now? And the Bengals can't stop the run. And maybe the clock just gets

01:18drained and we see like a similar setup to last Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills. I do think

01:23the Bengals offense will have success in this game. I would only bet the over, but I do think

01:27that's an interesting on-field handicap here with the Ravens having all the success in the ground

01:31game with not just Lamar Jackson and not just Derrick Henry. Justice demands retribution.

01:36Justice Hill has been awesome as well. Let's hit one more marquee game. Femi coming up.
