Bengals vs. Ravens DraftKings Pick 6 Picks

Leg 1: Joe Burrow Over 270.5 Passing Yards

Joe Burrow absolutely lit it up against the Baltimore Ravens in the first meeting, and it makes perfect sense. Despite the Bengals' slow start, Burrow has been playing great under center, and performed exceptionally well against some of the best teams in the NFL in the Chiefs and Ravens, coming up just short in field-goal losses. Tonight, he will be on display again against a weaker Ravens secondary. Baltimore has the best rush defense in the league, which will shut down Chase Brown in the absence of Zack Moss, so the pressure will be back on Burrow to sling it downfield. He is missing Tee Higgins tonight, but he can connect with Ja'Marr Chase, Andrei Iosivas, and another sneaky target we will explain below. Burrow had 392 passing yards in the first meeting, and he'll need to get up over 300 if the Bengals are going to have a chance tonight.

Leg 2: Lamar Jackson Under 48.5 Rushing Yards

We are going to hop to the other side now, and take Lamar Jackson under rushing yards tonight. This is always a sketchy play, trying to fade the fastest QB feet in football, but it's a necessary one. Jackson banged up his knee last week, and will be a little more hesitant to scramble tonight as he tries to recover on a short week. He missed their only practice on Tuesday to get extra rest, and he's not going to be forcing the issue tonight in an AFC North rivalry. Instead, expect Lamar to get the ball out quick to receivers in short to intermediate routes, and avoid getting forced into a broken pocket scramble situation. He has gone off in the rushing game in previous Thursday Night Football games, but tonight will be different. Jackson only had 55 yards in 12 attempts against the Bengals last time, and that was including an OT shootout with chaos across the field. This will be even less and much more conservativee.

Leg 3: Jermaine Burton Over 16.5 Receiving Yards

We are going to take a bit of a shot with this one, and it could hit easily or miss in embarrassing fashion. Jermaine Burton is a rookie receiver for the Bengals who was in the news this week for being a healthy scratch for Bengals' game against the Raiders. He had been ramping up, with two forty-yard receptions in previous weeks, but missed a Saturday walkthrough and was subsequently benched. Later, video came out of Burton spotted at a casino in the early morning hours. He's had character concerns and other issues at Alabama previously, but now is the time for him to step up and prove he is a part of this offense. With Tee Higgins out, Burton should have a chance to redeem himself on the road in Thursday Night Football. The Ravens have an incredible rush defense, which will force Burrow and the Bengals to air it out, and Burton should be on the receiving end of at least one catch.

Leg 4: Diontae Johnson Over 19.5 Receiving Yards

Last but not least, let's turn to the newest addition to either side in Ravens' receiver Diontae Johnson. They just grabbed him from Carolina in a favorable deal, and are now warming him up in this Baltimore offense. He only had one catch for 17 yards last week, and played in just 30% of snaps. But he can't learn the playbook overnight. The Ravens blew away the Broncos in that game, and didn't need to pass much in the second half anyway. Johnson is now getting chemistry with Lamar, and will be available to grab a couple catches tonight. Our Positive EV Tool also gives Johnson a 42% chance to score a touchdown tonight, so he may have a breakout game tonight in his first time back in the AFC North since his Pittsburgh days. Keep an eye on Johnson to make some noise on TNF.
