Bengals vs Ravens TNF Prop Bets: Let's Cut to the Chase

Ja'Marr Chase remains one of the best receivers in football, and we expect Joe Burrow's favorite target to shine in primetime when he takes on a weak Ravens secondary.

The Cincinnati Bengals head to M&T Bank Stadium to take on the Baltimore Ravens in an AFC North showdown on Thursday Night Football.

Baltimore topped Cincy 41-38 in overtime in Week 5, and I’m expecting another back-and-back tilt between the divisional rivals. Our top NFL player props and Bengals vs. Ravens predictions feature a trio of wide receivers, headlined by Cincinnati star Ja'Marr Chase.

Prop bet #1: Ja'Marr Chase Over 79.5 receiving yards

-113 at FanDuel

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase caught 10 of 12 targets for 193 yards in the Week 5 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens, and he remains the go-to target for quarterback Joe Burrow with a 24.1% target share for the season.

Although Chase has averaged just 56 receiving yards per game with just 6.6 yards per target across the past four weeks, he's set to rebound against a Baltimore Ravens defense allowing the fourth-highest yards per attempt and EPA per dropback to opposing quarterbacks.

Additionally, eighth receivers have recorded 80 or more receiving yards against the Ravens through nine games.

Prop bet #2: Diontae Johnson Over 21.5 receiving yards 

-113 at FanDuel

We’re landing a decreased total for Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson after he played just 16 offensive snaps and wasn’t targeted in his team debut last week. The Baltimore brass didn’t bring in Johnson to play decoy, and while the Ravens have a loaded collection of weapons, Johnson is a versatile receiver who posted a respectable 10.6 aDOT in the inept Carolina Panthers offense through seven games to start the year.

Johnson is going to be involved more in his second game with the Ravens. Lamar Jackson is nursing a knee injury again this week, so a few of his designed runs could turn into passing attempts, and he took it to the air 42 times for 348 yards in the Week 5 overtime win against the Bengals.

Prop bet #3: Andrei Iosivas Over 21.5 receiving yards

-113 at FanDuel

With Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins officially listed as doubtful with a quadricep injury for Week 10 and likely to miss a third consecutive game, Andrei Iosivas should again see extended run in the Cincy offense. 

Iosivas has closed the past two weeks with receiving yards totals of 37.5 and 31.5, and while he’s only hauled in a single catch for a 10-yard score across the past two weeks, I’m bullish about him being more involved Thursday. 

The second-year receiver had 26 or more receiving yards in five of six games between Week 2 and Week 6, with an average of 31.5 yards on 3.8 targets per. Additionally, Iosivas has a high-end 13.3 yards per reception and 13.0 aDOT, so he won’t need a high target volume to clear this number.

The Ravens have remained extremely susceptible against the pass, and Iosivas’ lone reception against them in Week 5 went for 39 yards.

He also co-hosted the Daily Fantasy Edge podcast and can now be seen offering expert golf and hockey advice on Covers’ Before you Bet broadcast.

Neil takes a numbers-based approach to his handicapping and complements his in-depth statistical analysis with a keen eye on the markets to provide the best available odds. He loves to lean on his rolodex of idioms to offset his inner nerd. When it comes to wagering, he throws down on anything that catches his eye at bet365, Betway and BetVictor. He also keeps a close eye on CoolBet because the polar bear brand often has outlier NHL and NFL moneyline prices.

Neil graduated with honors from St. Thomas University in 2007 before completing his BEd at Acadia University in 2010. After teaching a myriad of courses and subjects, he found a groove delivering fun lessons to exceptional learners in non-traditional classroom environments. If his decade-plus teaching run taught him anything about sports betting, it’s to stay the course and use the summer – or offseason – to refresh and prepare to be better in the year to come.

Neil’s top pieces of advice for recreational bettors are to stay within your means and to remember sportsbooks aren’t bank accounts. Don’t be afraid to pull those winnings and treat yourself to a lifetime experience courtesy of a big win.
