In Week 13, the Ravens face the Bengals, holding first place in their division with a 6-5 record and 4-7 against the spread. Baltimore is a 7-point favorite on betting sites to win Thursday at M&T Bank Stadium.
The Ravens have won their last five games, climbing in the standings, with their most recent victory being a comfortable 23-10 win against the Jets at home; Derrick Henry scored two touchdowns in the third quarter. However, concerns remain about quarterback Lamar Jackson, who hasn't been at his best. Due to knee and ankle issues, Jackson has been much less mobile than usual and has avoided running the ball too much.
The Ravens' defense has shown signs of improvement; they held opponents to under 20 points in each of their last five wins and climbed to become the 12th most effective defense in the NFL on third downs.
Meanwhile, the Bengals lost 20-26 to the Patriots, effectively ending their playoff hopes. It's Cincinnati's fourth straight loss. Veteran Joe Flacco replaced starting QB Joe Burrow, who hasn't played since Week 2 with a toe injury.

Our Baltimore Ravens vs Cincinnati Bengals Prediction
It's clear that injuries have resulted in a diminished version of Lamar Jackson, but he's managed to do just enough to keep Baltimore winning; coach John Harbaugh said he's doing his job just fine. Fortunately, Jackson won't have a fierce defense on Friday; in fact, the Bengals' defense is the worst in the league.
Meanwhile, it's almost certain the Bengals won't be in the playoffs, and some die-hard Cincinnati fans are criticizing the decision to expose Joe Burrow, but he himself said he already feels ready to play and that sitting on the bench wouldn't make sense for him.
Our prediction for Bengals vs Ravens is: Ravens -7.
