Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season features a critical AFC North showdown as the Cincinnati Bengals travel to M&T Bank Stadium to face the Baltimore Ravens at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS. According to PrizePicks, the Bengals are 1.5-point favorites for the spread.

Cincinnati enters at 3-2 after defeating the Miami Dolphins 31-24 in Week 5 before enjoying a bye. Baltimore is 4-2 but coming off a frustrating 13-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns, in which the offense struggled to sustain drives.

The biggest storyline entering Sunday's game is the status of QB Lamar Jackson, who is questionable with an ankle injury after missing the Ravens' last two games.

Unless otherwise noted, data used in this article is from Sumer Sports, PFF, and Pro Football Reference.

Cincinnati's offense has a favorable matchup against a Baltimore defense that has struggled to contain opposing passing attacks. The Ravens have allowed opposing quarterbacks to complete 72.9% of their passes. That's particularly encouraging for QB Joe Burrow, who is completing 71.4% of his passes this season.

Burrow also has an impressive history against Baltimore. He's averaged 289.5 passing yards per game across 11 career starts against the Ravens, making this one of his most productive individual matchups.

The Bengals' receiving corps gives him multiple ways to exploit the defense. WR Ja'Marr Chase remains the primary explosive-play threat, while WR Tee Higgins provides another reliable option against a secondary that has struggled to prevent completions.

Baltimore's offense presents a different challenge. The Ravens average 151.5 rushing yards per game, the third-highest in the NFL, and have generated 29 runs of at least 10 yards, the second-most in the league.

Ravens RB Derrick Henry has been a major contributor, leading the league in carries (130) while ranking fourth in rushing yards (534).

However, Jackson's availability is the biggest variable in this matchup. He has completed 70.8% of his passes for 967 yards, 6 TDs, and 1 INT while adding 144 rushing yards. His mobility is central to Baltimore's offense, and a compromised ankle could limit his effectiveness even if he plays.

As expected, the Ravens have been less productive without their starting quarterback. Baltimore scored just 10 points in its Week 6 loss to Cleveland, failing to score after the first quarter.

If Jackson is unavailable or limited, Cincinnati has a significant opportunity to take advantage of a Baltimore offense that becomes more predictable without its dual-threat quarterback.

Bengals vs. Ravens Prediction on Over/Under – 10/25/26

Here are the key stats and predictions behind our Bengals vs. Ravens over/under prediction for Sunday afternoon.

• This is a unique game where both teams’ offensive strengths match up well against each defense's primary weakness.
• The Bengals' passing offense has been efficient enough to generate sustained scoring drives. Cincinnati is producing +0.147 EPA per dropback (11th), while converting 50% of its third downs, the second-best rate in the NFL.
• The Ravens are averaging 26.0 points and 367.7 yards per game, sitting seventh and eighth, respectively. Their offense has a 47.9% success rate, the fifth-best in the league.
• Baltimore has converted 71.4% of its red zone possessions into touchdowns (seventh). That efficiency gives the Ravens a path to scoring even if Cincinnati limits some of their explosive plays.
• The Bengals have allowed an explosive play rate of 10.1% (29th). That could be a big problem against Henry, who is known for breaking explosive runs.
• Together, the two teams average 51.6 points per game, well above the current projection for this game.
• I like this number at 48.5 even with QB Tyler Huntley in, but expect this number to rise to 50.5 or even 51.5 if Jackson is ruled in early Sunday morning.

Bengals vs. Ravens Picks, Player Stats for PrizePicks – 10/25/26

Here are two Bengals vs. Ravens player picks to consider on PrizePicks for Sunday afternoon, featuring Joe Burrow and Derrick Henry.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow vs. Ravens: 260.5 Pass Yards

• Burrow has been highly efficient through the air, completing 71.4% of his passes while averaging 7.2 yards per attempt. 
• He's also posted a +6.0 completion percentage over expected (CPOE), ranking among the league's best in accuracy relative to the difficulty of his throws.
• Burrow has averaged 289.5 passing yards per game in 11 career starts against the Ravens, comfortably above this projection.
• He is averaging 272.2 passing yards per game, again surpassing this current projection.
• The Bengals QB is completing 73.2% of his intermediate throws (10–19 air yards) and averaging 12.0 yards per attempt in that range, while Baltimore has allowed a 69.8% completion rate on intermediate passes.
• This could be a back-and-forth game with neither team pulling away, which should keep Burrow throwing all four quarters.

Ravens RB Derrick Henry vs. Bengals: 86.5 Rush Yards

• Henry has been one of the NFL's true workhorses, with 130 carries over six games (21.7 attempts per contest). He's averaging 89.0 rushing yards per game, clearing this 86.5-yard projection.
• The Bengals allow 5.0 yards per carry (30th), sit 31st in explosive runs allowed, and are 27th in EPA/rush (-0.02).
• Part of the reason for Henry’s low workload last week (14 carries) could be that Baltimore looked ahead to today’s matchup. The Ravens will likely need to feed Henry early and often to control the clock and keep Burrow and the Bengals offense on the sideline.
• The Ravens QB situation can only benefit Henry either way. If Huntley starts, Henry likely gets a few more carries, taking pressure off the QB. If Jackson starts, Henry likely becomes more efficient since the defense will have to scheme for the pressure Lamar creates with his legs.
