Ravens vs Bengals Parlay: NFL Wild Card SGP Picks 1/15/23
Updated November 5, 2026
Updated November 5, 2026
The Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals meet in the final game of Sunday's NFL Wild Card slate, with an AFC North rivalry adding extra intensity to an already important playoff matchup.
Cincinnati enter the postseason riding an eight-game winning streak, while Baltimore face the prospect of playing without former NFL MVP Lamar Jackson. The Ravens quarterback is still recovering from a knee injury, leaving Tyler Huntley as the likely starter for Sunday's game.
Jackson's absence could have a major impact on how this matchup unfolds. Baltimore have played a slower, more conservative style of football with Huntley under center, relying heavily on their running game and defense.
That approach also creates some interesting opportunities in the player prop market.
Our Ravens vs Bengals same-game parlay combines two passing yardage selections with a receiving prop for Cincinnati's top wide receiver, Ja'Marr Chase.

Our SGP odds | +900 |
Cincinnati enter as substantial favorites, largely because of the uncertainty surrounding Baltimore's quarterback situation.
However, the Ravens' defensive strength and ability to control possession could make this a more competitive game than the spread suggests.
Baltimore's passing offense has struggled to generate consistent production with Tyler Huntley at quarterback.
The Ravens have relied heavily on their running game, often taking a conservative approach designed to limit mistakes and control possession.
Huntley has completed some important throws, but Baltimore have rarely asked him to carry the offense through the air.
Despite those limitations, his passing yardage line of 150.5 looks manageable.
The Bengals enter Sunday's matchup as 8.5-point favorites.
If Cincinnati establish an early lead, Baltimore may have little choice but to increase their passing volume.
That scenario could force Huntley to attempt considerably more throws than usual.
Huntley has averaged approximately 22.4 passing attempts per game this season.
A game in which the Ravens trail during the second half could push that number higher.
Even without a particularly efficient passing performance, additional attempts would give Huntley a reasonable opportunity to exceed 150.5 yards.
Baltimore's offensive limitations are reflected in the modest yardage line.
Huntley does not need to produce an outstanding performance to clear 150.5 passing yards.
A few successful drives and increased passing volume in the second half could be enough.
Pick 1: Tyler Huntley Over 150.5 Passing Yards (-110)
Ja'Marr Chase has been one of Cincinnati's most important offensive players throughout the season.
The Bengals wide receiver has developed an outstanding connection with Joe Burrow and regularly produces against difficult defensive matchups.
Chase recorded 86 receiving yards against Baltimore in Week 18.
That performance provides an encouraging indication of what he could accomplish in Sunday's playoff rematch.
Chase has recorded at least 77 receiving yards in eight of his 12 appearances this season.
That consistency makes his 76.5-yard line an appealing selection.
The Bengals have several talented receiving options, but Chase remains Burrow's primary target in important situations.
If Chase receives his usual workload of eight or more targets, he should have a strong opportunity to reach the required yardage.
Chase has been particularly productive since returning to the lineup in Week 13.
Across Cincinnati's final five regular-season games, he recorded 441 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
His ability to make contested catches and gain yards after the reception makes him difficult to contain.
Baltimore's defense has played well recently, but Chase has already demonstrated that he can produce against this secondary.
The Ravens may attempt to limit Cincinnati's overall passing volume, yet Chase should remain heavily involved whenever Burrow throws the ball.
Pick 2: Ja'Marr Chase Over 76.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
Joe Burrow has enjoyed another excellent season leading Cincinnati's offense.
However, Baltimore have been one of the few opponents capable of limiting his passing production.
The Ravens held Burrow below 220 passing yards in both regular-season meetings.
That record makes his 269.5-yard passing line an interesting target for the under.
Burrow has regularly produced 300-yard passing performances against NFL defenses.
Baltimore have managed to prevent those explosive outings in both meetings this season.
The Ravens' defensive approach has limited Cincinnati's ability to generate consistent production through the air.
Their success has been particularly impressive since the arrival of linebacker Roquan Smith.
Baltimore acquired Smith in a midseason trade with the Chicago Bears.
Since his arrival, the Ravens have developed into one of the league's strongest defensive units.
Baltimore have held opponents to 16 points or fewer in all but two games since acquiring Smith.
That improvement has helped the Ravens remain competitive despite their offensive struggles.
Smith's presence gives Baltimore another important defensive weapon against Cincinnati's passing attack.
The Ravens' slower offensive approach is another reason to consider Burrow's passing yardage under.
With Huntley likely starting, Baltimore may emphasize its running game and attempt to control the clock.
Long possessions would reduce the number of opportunities available to Cincinnati's offense.
Burrow could still lead the Bengals to victory without reaching 270 passing yards.
Given Baltimore's recent defensive performances and the results of the teams' previous meetings, the under offers an appealing selection.
Pick 3: Joe Burrow Under 269.5 Passing Yards (-110)
Sunday's playoff matchup features two familiar AFC North rivals with very different offensive situations.
Cincinnati enter the postseason with considerable momentum after winning their final eight regular-season games.
Baltimore, meanwhile, must find a way to remain competitive without its most important offensive player.
The Ravens' defensive strength gives them a chance to challenge Cincinnati, but their ability to generate enough points remains a major concern.
One area Baltimore may look to exploit is the right side of Cincinnati's offensive line.
The Bengals have suffered important injuries to La'el Collins and Alex Cappa.
Those absences could create opportunities for Baltimore's pass rush.
The Ravens will look to pressure Burrow and prevent him from finding a comfortable rhythm in the pocket.
If Baltimore can disrupt Cincinnati's protection, it could limit the Bengals' ability to generate explosive passing plays.
The Bengals have been one of the NFL's strongest teams during the final stretch of the regular season.
Cincinnati won eight consecutive games to close the campaign, averaging approximately 29 points per game during that run.
Burrow has benefited from outstanding production by his receiving corps.
Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins have been particularly important.
Chase returned in Week 13 and recorded 441 receiving yards and three touchdowns across Cincinnati's final five games.
Higgins appeared in seven of the Bengals' final eight games, contributing 525 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
That combination gives Cincinnati several dangerous options in the passing game.
Baltimore's biggest concern is the likely absence of Lamar Jackson.
The former NFL MVP has been sidelined by a PCL injury and indicated during the week that he was still recovering.
Jackson led Baltimore with 724 rushing yards before his injury.
He also recorded 2,242 passing yards and 17 passing touchdowns.
His ability to create plays with both his arm and legs is central to Baltimore's offense.
Without him, the Ravens have struggled to generate the same level of production.
Tyler Huntley has gone 2-2 as a starter this season, throwing two touchdowns and three interceptions.
That represents a significant difference in quarterback production heading into a difficult road playoff matchup.
The Ravens' best opportunity to challenge Cincinnati is through their defense.
Baltimore have been particularly effective since acquiring Roquan Smith.
Their ability to limit scoring and pressure opposing quarterbacks could keep Sunday's contest competitive.
The Ravens will also look to control possession through their running game.
If Baltimore can sustain long drives, it may reduce the number of opportunities available to Burrow and Cincinnati's offense.
That approach is particularly relevant to our selection of Burrow under 269.5 passing yards.
Huntley will face a difficult challenge against a Cincinnati defense that has played well during the Bengals' winning streak.
Baltimore need to protect their quarterback and create manageable passing situations.
However, if the Ravens fall behind early, Huntley may be forced to throw more frequently.
That scenario would support our selection of over 150.5 passing yards.
Chase recorded 86 receiving yards against Baltimore in the teams' previous meeting.
He has also exceeded 76.5 receiving yards in eight of his 12 games this season.
Cincinnati will look to get the ball into his hands again, particularly in important situations.
The Ravens have already held Burrow below 220 passing yards twice this season.
Their defensive improvement since acquiring Roquan Smith gives them a reasonable opportunity to produce another strong performance.
Baltimore's ability to control possession could further reduce Burrow's passing opportunities.
Cincinnati enter Sunday's Wild Card matchup as deserved favorites.
The Bengals have won eight consecutive games, their offense is producing consistently, and Baltimore are likely to be without Lamar Jackson.
However, the Ravens have enough defensive quality to make Cincinnati work for its points.
Baltimore's slower offensive approach could also influence the number of passing opportunities available to both teams.
Huntley's modest passing yardage line creates an opportunity if the Ravens fall behind and need to throw more frequently.
Chase remains Cincinnati's most reliable receiving weapon, while Burrow faces a defense that has already limited his production twice this season.
→ Our Take: Our Ravens vs Bengals same-game parlay combines Huntley over 150.5 passing yards, Chase over 76.5 receiving yards, and Burrow under 269.5 passing yards. The selections reflect Baltimore's likely offensive approach and the Ravens' recent defensive success against Cincinnati.
Combined Historical Odds: +900
$20 bet: $180 potential profit, $200 total return.
