Cincinnati Bengals vs Baltimore Ravens NFL Picks, NFL Predictions & NFL Odds: The Cincinnati Bengals take their 3-1 record into M&T Bank Stadium today looking to walk away with sole possession of the AFC North lead.  The Ravens, which are also 3-1, will, no doubt, have something to say about the matter. Kickoff in this heated division battle is set for 1:00pm ET; it will be broadcast live on CBS. NFL Picks at Bookmaker.com have Baltimore listed as a -8.5 against the spread home favorite.

Bengals Breakdown: Marvin Lewis' surprising Bengals improved to 3-1 last week, scoring a nail-biting 23-20 overtime win in Cleveland. The victory vaulted Cincy to the top of the AFC North standings. Carson Palmer has had his ups and downs this year, but he has been incredible in the clutch moments. Palmer lead his team to a comeback win against Pittsburgh in week three and he converted a 4th and 11 with a 15 yard scramble in the game winning drive against the Browns. The Bengals defense has performed adequately thus far, holding opponents to 19 points and 345.3 yards per game this season. The unit also ranks fourth in the league with 12 sacks.

Ravens Breakdown: Baltimore fell to 3-1 last Sunday, suffering its first loss of the season with a 21-27 loss at New England. The Ravens defense held the Patriots to 319 yards and a 2.8 yards per carry average, while the offense racked up 363 yards and averaged 6.8 yards per rush. However, the team could not overcome nine penalities, including four which resulted in New England first downs, and two turnovers. Quarterback Joe Flacco brought his quarterback rating to 94.3 after completing 27-of-47 passes for 264 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception against the Pats.

Cincinnati is 3-2 in their last five trips to Baltimore and 3-2 in their last five games at any location against the Ravens. Baltimore, however, won both meetings last season by an average of 19 points per contest.
