The Cincinnati Bengals return from their bye week to face a Baltimore Ravens team that will again be without Lamar Jackson. Cincinnati is 3-2 with Joe Burrow and a 31-24 win in Miami behind it, while Baltimore is 4-2 after Tyler Huntley led a 13-10 loss at Cleveland that ended a three-game winning streak.
Jackson was ruled out with an ankle injury, so Huntley will make his third straight start, and Derrick Henry leads the NFL in carries as the Ravens lean on the ground game. It is the first meeting of the season between the AFC North rivals, and Kalshi traders have the Bengals at 59% to win.

Who is favored to win the Bengals vs. Ravens Week 7 game?
Cincinnati Bengals: Cincinnati is 3-2 under coach Zac Taylor and had its Week 6 bye after the win in Miami. As of this writing, safety Kyle Dugger (quadriceps) was a full participant Friday, defensive tackles Jonathan Allen and B.J. Hill had rest days, and the Bengals carry no game-status designations. Kalshi traders have the Bengals at 59%, a price that reflects a healthy roster after the bye and Baltimore playing without its starting quarterback.
Baltimore Ravens: Baltimore is 4-2 under first-year coach Jesse Minter, and Huntley went 19-of-31 for 165 yards and a touchdown at Cleveland with Jackson out. As of this writing, Jackson (ankle) is out for a third straight game, outside linebacker Tavius Robinson (pectoral) was placed on injured reserve, safety Jaylinn Hawkins (knee) is out, cornerback T.J. Tampa Jr. (knee) is doubtful and defensive tackle Broderick Washington (ankle) is questionable. Kalshi traders have the Ravens at 42%, a price that reflects home field and Baltimore's 4-2 record, offset by Huntley starting again.
