It’s worth to note that the game is basically a push, with such a small line. Also, the away team is given three points due to home field advantage. However, the Bengals may be favored because of their recent track record against the Ravens.

Cincinnati is 7-3 against Baltimore since 2012, and those three losses have all come at M&T Bank Stadium. The Bengals haven’t lost at home to the Ravens since 2011, quarterback Andy Dalton’s rookie season. Not to mention the Ravens finished 2016 on a weak note, losing three of their last four games to finish at 8-8.

The Ravens finished 1.5 games ahead of the Bengals. Is the 1.5 point line a coincidence? Likely. It still doesn’t make it less fun to think about.
