Ravens vs. Bengals odds, picks, spread, how to watch, live stream: Model reveals NFL predictions for Week 5 of 2024

The Baltimore Ravens (2-2) look to stay hot as they visit the Cincinnati Bengals (1-3) in NFL Week 5 on CBS and Paramount+. The Ravens appear to have turned things around after a slow start to the season, earning a convincing 35-10 win over the Buffalo Bills. Meanwhile, the Bengals are hoping that last week's 34-24 win over the Carolina Panthers is a sign that their season is headed in a better direction.

Week 5 NFL picks for Bengals vs. Ravens

Before you watch Sunday's Bengals vs. Ravens game, you need to check out the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has gained well over $7,000 on top-rated NFL picks since its launch for $100 players. The model enters Week 5 of the 2024 NFL season with an incredible 188-131 record on top-rated NFL picks dating back to the 2017 season. Since Week 7 of 2022, the record for the top-rated NFL betting tips is also 42:23.

For Bengals vs. Ravens, the model supports Baltimore to cover the spread. Joe Burrow and the Bengals' receiving corps have the opportunity to take advantage of the Ravens' poor pass defense, which has allowed an average of 257.5 yards through the air in four games. However, Cincy's passing game was disappointing and it will have to be the best they've seen all season if the Bengals want to keep this game close.

On the other side of the ball, the Bengals' rush defense allowed an average of 145.5 yards per game and five touchdowns on the ground. Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry have combined to give Baltimore a league-leading running game, averaging 220.3 yards per game, and they are expected to put Cincinnati's defense to the test. Additionally, Cincinnati is just 1-7 in its last eight games against an AFC North opponent, a trend the model expects will continue Sunday. You may be able to stream the game here.
