Ravens vs. Bengals Odds & Betting Predictions - December 14, 2025

Heading into last week’s game I was mentioning in our Discord NFL general discussion channel that the Ravens should give Mitchell a bit more work on the ground (while obviously continuing to feed Derrick Henry). Sure enough, he ripped off 6 carries for 76 yards against the Steelers. The crazy part? He was forced out of the game with a knee injury with 9+ minutes left in the 3rd quarter, so he effectively only played a half of football. Mitchell has now averaged a ridiculous 7.0 yards per rush in his 3-year career and is clearly one of the better backups in the league. He just doesn’t get much work because he plays behind a generational talent and iron man in Derrick Henry. He isn’t even listed on the injury report this week, which means the knee injury wasn’t serious, and this is a great matchup for him specifically. Mitchell runs outside the tackles at a 74% rate, which is one of the highest rates in the league. The Bengals run defense has allowed +1.92 yards over expected per carry on outside runs, the 2nd-highest rate in the league. One major area where the Bengals struggle is allowing 1.83 yards before contact, the 4th-highest mark in the league. That is a lethal combo versus Derrick Henry, but it’s especially lethal with Keaton Mitchell, who averages a ridiculous 11.3 yards per carry when given 2+ yards before contact, which ranks 3rd highest in the league. I’m only projecting Mitchell for around 4-5 rush attempts here, but he should be able to do enough damage in that small sample against this defense, with upside for more. I’m going to take his alt over 40+ as well, since I have him around a median of 23.5 with about a 62% chance to clear 16.5 (-114 on FanDuel). I also have him closer to +300 to clear 40+, so I’ll sprinkle 40+ at +567 on DK.

Oh hey, another game I make near a coin flip! I'll be sorely tempted to bet the Bengals if we get Joe Burrow at +3 as an underdog. The Bengals defense has been awful, but the Ravens offense is clearly broken. I'm tempted to bet on a big Derrick Henry rushing game or just playing the Ravens tight ends against this terrible defense, but it's telling that I'm passing. Instead I'm all-in on a monster Ja'Marr Chase game. The Ravens are top 10 in most fantasy points allowed to opposing WRs, and Tee Higgins is still in concussion protocol. When the Bengals played Baltimore a year ago without Higgins, Chase caught 11 balls for 264 yards. Chase has murdered Baltimore of late, with 7/110 a month ago along with that 11/264 game and 10/193 last year, scoring five touchdowns in those three games with over 14 targets a game. The Ravens have allowed 114+ yards to a receiver in four of their last seven games, so start with 100+ yards for Chase at +135 (bet365), but don't stop there. He's already had 160+ yards twice this season, so play 150+ yards at +700 too (bet365). Chase has actually had at least one game with 190+ yards every healthy season of his career — but not yet this year! He's due, and an incredible three of his five career 190+ games have come against these Ravens. I'm playing 190+ yards at +2200 (DraftKings), and we'll play the top number available too at 200+ yards since it's +3200, a ridiculous extra 10-to-1 payout for a meager 10 more yards.
