The AFC North race is still up for grabs with four weeks remaining, as the Steelers own a one-game edge over the Ravens. Baltimore (6-7) fell to Pittsburgh last Sunday, 27-22, marking its second straight home divisional setback.
The first loss came on Thanksgiving to the Bengals (4-9), whom the Ravens square off with again on Sunday (1:00 p.m. ET on CBS). Cincinnati captured the first matchup, 32-14, at M&T Bank Stadium in QB Joe Burrow’s return to the lineup.
Burrow and the Bengals couldn’t capitalize off that, melting down in last Sunday's 39-34 defeat at Buffalo. They led 28-18 in the fourth quarter before allowing the Bills to score 21 unanswered points and damage Cincinnati’s playoff chances. Cincinnati now will be without WR, Tee Higgins, who is sidelined with a concussion sustained in last Sunday's loss.
With that in mind, let's take a look at a Ravens vs. Bengals prediction and NFL Week 15 picks for Sunday's showdown at Paycor Stadium. Use PrizePicks NFL to make picks on player projections for this weekend and beyond.

Ravens vs. Bengals Prediction on Over/Under
Here are some stats to know to get you set for Ravens vs. Bengals.
- The first matchup finished under 52.5 points in spite of the Bengals scoring eight times (2 TDs and 6 FGs).
- The Ravens allowed an average of 13.6 points in the past three road outings against the Browns, Vikings, and Dolphins. Those three teams rank 22nd or worse in scoring.
- Cincinnati’s overall numbers are tough to judge since Burrow has only played in four games. With that said, the Bengals scored 66 points in the past two weeks.
- The Bengals have yielded 32.2 PPG in the last 10 games, which includes Baltimore’s 14-point output two weeks ago.
- In the past six games, the Ravens have scored at least 22 points five times. In the aforementioned loss to Cincinnati, they turned the ball over five times, which seems highly unlikely to happen again.
Ravens vs. Bengals Picks for Week 15
Here are three top Ravens vs. Bengals picks to target on Sunday. Key PrizePicks player projections are headlined by Cincinnati QB Joe Burrow and Baltimore RB Derrick Henry and WR Zay Flowers.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow vs. Ravens Projection: 262.5 Passing Yards
- It’s been a frustrating season for Burrow, who missed nine games with a turf toe injury suffered in Week 2 against Jacksonville.
- The top pick of the 2020 NFL Draft threw for 261 yards and a pair of TDs in his return against Baltimore in Week 13. Burrow compiled 189 passing yards in his first two games against the Browns and Jaguars.
- Last Sunday, the former LSU star was having his way with the Bills before a pair of costly fourth quarter INTs sank Cincinnati. Burrow finished with a 2025-high 284 passing yards and 4 TDs, but it was the first game the Bengals lost in his four starts.
- The Ravens limited five consecutive QBs to fewer than 262 passing yards before Pittsburgh QB Aaron Rodgers threw for a season-high 284 yards last Sunday.
Ravens RB Derrick Henry vs. Bengals Projection: 88.5 Rushing Yards
- Henry busted the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the seventh time in his career, sitting at 1,025 yards through 13 games.
- The biggest issue for the former Alabama standout is consistency, as he has yet to rush for more than 90 yards in consecutive games.
- Henry posted 94 rushing yards against Pittsburgh last Sunday, but is averaging 58.2 yards in four games following a 90+ yard effort.
- In the last matchup with Cincinnati, the former Heisman Trophy winner picked up 60 yards on 10 carries, markiing his third-highest yards-per-carry output of 2025.
- The Bengals rank dead last in the NFL in rushing yards allowed, yielding an average of 155.5 per game
Ravens WR Zay Flowers vs. Bengals Projection: 66.5 Receiving Yards
- Flowers is coming off his second 100-yard performance of the season, racking up 124 yards last Sunday against the Steelers.
- The former Boston College WR has eclipsed this projection seven times in 13 games, including in each of his past two road games.
- Flowers looks for a better output against Cincinnati after getting held to 6 yards on 2 receptions in the Thanksgiving Day loss.
- The 2023 first-round pick has hauled in a reception of at least 27 yards in four road games, a testament to his home run potential.
- In last season’s 41-38 overtime thriller at Cincinnati, Flowers torched the Bengals for 111 yards on 7 catches.
