Baltimore Ravens (10-6) vs. Cincinnati Bengals (11-4)
The 2022 NFL season will close down Sunday, January 8, with Week 18 matchups including the AFC North showdown between the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Baltimore opened as a 6-point road underdog with a total of 43.0 points, and that went to the Ravens +7.0 with a total of 41.5 points by the time of writing. Back in Week 5, the Ravens beat the Bengals 19-17 as 3-point home favorites.
The Baltimore Ravens (10-6; 6-9-1 ATS) are coming off a 16-13 defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17 Sunday Night Football. Playing as small 1-point home favorites, the Ravens blew a 13-3 third-quarter lead. They allowed the Steelers to score a winning touchdown with just 56 seconds remaining in the fourth, and it’s fair to say that Pittsburgh fully deserved to come out on top.
Baltimore racked up just 240 total yards and yielded 351 in return. Also, the Ravens kept the ball in possession for 25:46 and lost the turnover battle 1-0. Their run defense yielded 198 yards on 41 carries, and the Steelers went 10-for-16 on 3rd down. Tyler Huntley was 14-for-21 for 130 yards, a touchdown, and an interception, Mark Andrews posted nine catches for 100 yards, while JK Dobbins had 17 totes for 93 yards.
“Very disappointed. Not one of our better performances at all,” Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh said. “Coaching staff. Start with that, start with me. Game plan, all of it. Not good enough. Very disappointing.”

Tyler Huntley has thrown for 658 yards, a couple of touchdowns, and three interceptions through his last five appearances.
