Baltimore Ravens vs. Cincinnati Bengals start ’em, sit ’em, how to watch TNF and more

You can watch “Thursday Night Football,” Bengals vs. Ravens, exclusively on Amazon Prime Video at 8:15 p.m. ET.

Welcome to the true biggest Thursday Night Football game of the season, folks!

We have had some interesting matchups here before, yes, but none as impactful nor boasting such talented teams as the one happening in Week 11 between AFC North foes, Baltimore and Cincinnati.

The Baltimore Ravens (7-3) are leading the divisional race but instead of boasting what could have easily been a 10-0 record through the first 10 weeks of play, are only half a game ahead of second-place Cleveland and Pittsburgh, both tied with a 6-3 record.

The Cincinnati Bengals (5-4) are trailing the divisional race and they must win on TNF if they don’t want to get into more trouble, let alone some postseason-related challenges they might not be able to handle throughout the remainder of the season.

Adding wood to the fire: these two already met in Week 2 in a game where things couldn’t have been closer (what did you expect? It was an AFC North game!) but one that the Ravens emerged victorious.

The Ravens opened the week as the favorites over the Bengals, boasting a -3.5 spread in their favor.

The total points projection, however, has moved from the initial 43.5 to a higher 46, which is the third-highest total of the week. For context, Baltimore is averaging exactly 27 points per game while Cincinnati has scored 19.4 through the first 10 weeks of play.

How do the Ravens and the Bengals arrive at their TNF matchup?

It was all rosy — until it wasn’t.

It’d be a bit too harsh to say that things are looking bad for any of these two squads, at least when it comes to their current and recent form. Less than five days ago, both the Ravens and the Bengals were riding four-game winning streaks!

Entering TNF, however, both are looking for re-ignition. The Ravens lost a divisional matchup against the Browns on a walk-off field goal and the Bengals couldn’t handle rookie (yet MVP candidate)…
