The Cincinnati Bengals visit the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night (8:15 p.m. ET, Prime Video) in an AFC North battle to kick off the NFL's Week 10 slate. After dropping their first two games of the season, the Ravens (6-3) have won six of their past seven, including last week's 41-10 win over the Broncos. Their lone home loss during that stretch was a shocking defeat to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2. The Bengals (4-5) have won three of four and are coming off a 41-24 win over the Raiders last week for their first home victory of the season. Four of the Bengals' losses have come by six points or less, including a 41-38 heartbreaker in OT to the Ravens in Week 5 that dropped Cincinnati to 1-4. Baltimore's last loss to Cincinnati came in the wild-card round of the 2022 playoffs. Despite trailing the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North, the Ravens (at -210) are still the favorite to take the division (Pittsburgh is +225, Cincinnati is 10-1). At 6-1 to win the Super Bowl, the Ravens trail only the Kansas City Chiefs (+375) and Detroit Lions (+450). Thursday's matchup will feature the MVP co-favorite in Lamar Jackson (3-1, tied with Buffalo's Josh Allen) and the odds-on favorite to win Offensive Player of the Year (Derrick Henry, -140) in a game that that has the highest point total of the week (52.5). Baltimore is a 6-point favorite over Joe Burrow's Bengals. Odds current as of publish time, courtesy of ESPN BET

Ben Solak's favorite pick Lamar Jackson OVER 8.5 rush attempts (-130) Jackson tends to be active on the ground running the football against Lou Anarumo and the Bengals defense. In each of his last six contests against the Bengals, Lamar has had at least nine carries. The Bengals play a cautious style of zone defense that will force Jackson to hold onto the football at times, and as such, invite him to scramble. So long as the Bengals keep this thing close -- which they should, as their season is just about on the line -- Lamar will be involved in the game plan for all four quarters. I wouldn't be surprised if double-digit carries are in store for Lamar, and I'm considering taking him to score as well.
