NFL Week 17: Baltimore Ravens At Cincinnati Bengals odds, line and spread

The Cincinnati Bengals have already played the spoiler role well recently, upending the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football in Week 15. They’ll have another chance to deal a severe blow to a division rival on Sunday when the Baltimore Ravens visit Paul Brown Stadium, hoping to clinch a playoff spot.

The Ravens (10-5) took care of business at home in Week 16 against the New York Giants, comfortably beating their opponents 27-13 in a game they never trailed.

Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson remained hot, accounting for 80 rushing yards and throwing for 2 touchdowns last week. Former Dallas Cowboys star Dez Bryant has slowly started to contribute to the Ravens offense, and was the recipient of one of Jackson’s touchdown throws.

The Bengals (4-10-1) were able to use the momentum they created from beating the Steelers in Week 15 against the Houston Texans in Week 16. Cincinnati defeated Houston 37-31 in one of the best games the offense has put together since number one overall pick QB Joe Burrow was lost for the season.

RB Samaje Perine was a key factor for them on the ground, rushing for 95 yards and punching in two touchdowns on the way to their win.
