NFL Week 10 Picks: The Panel's Picks For Thursday Night Football - Bengals @ Ravens

Week 10 in the NFL gets under way as the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens clash on Thursday night.

The best betting sites have Thursday's game covered and we are confident of more thrilling action on the gridiron.

Bengals Vs Ravens Pick: Bank On Baltimore

Baltimore surprisingly lost to Cleveland a couple of weeks ago. Then, the Ravens delivered one of their best performances of the season against Denver, winning 41-10. 

Now, at 6-3, the question is, can Baltimore follow up at home against AFC North rivals Cincinnati?

The concern is that Cincinnati pose a much more significant threat through the air, as seen in the first meeting, which was an entertaining 41-38 affair. 

The total yards in that contest were 962. Also, Tee Higgins (quad) is still questionable after two games. Joe Burrow would have one less big target on Thursday night.  

Cincinnati have climbed to almost the .500 mark, but Baltimore have much higher aspirations. Lamar Jackson will play Thursday night after some minor issues. 

With Baltimore running the ball at nearly six yards per clip, the Ravens have a game plan to keep the Bengals off the field.  

The Panel pick Baltimore to consolidate their big win with a cover this week.

Bengals Vs Ravens Prediction: Tight End Focus

Last week’s games taught us something. It is OK to look at tight ends other than Travis Kelce. Yes, Kelce was the gold standard, but several options are becoming less sneaky. 

One is now Mike Gesicki considering Tee Higgins's injury issues. Look at the targets and catch rates. Gesicki can be an asset against Baltimore’s linebacker corps. 

Gesicki has 5+ receptions in consecutive weeks (12 on 14 targets). Forget the yardage for a second. If Higgins does not play, Gesicki could easily have five or more receptions and over 50 receiving yards again. Gesicki has 173 over the past two weeks. 

The Bengals will need their tight end to overcome the lack of a running game against the Ravens. Shorter passes could supplement the run. Take Gesicki here.

The Panel Pick 2: Mike Gesicki +4.5 Receptions @ 11/10 With Bet365

Bengals Vs Ravens Preview: King Henry Off The Leash

The Baltimore Ravens may let Derrick Henry run more on Thursday night. In the first meeting, Henry only had 15 rushing attempts (92 yards). 

Furthermore, Lamar Jackson could be limited (three rushing attempts last week). Jackson could sit back and find plenty of receivers (260+ passing yards in five straight weeks).

For those of you who are curious, Jackson required overtime to get to 52 yards rushing during the first meeting. 

The rushing attempts could be impacted, so keep that in mind. Jackson was not listed in the Week 10 injury report.

The Panel like Jackson to stay under 50 yards on the ground on Thursday night.
