Who Will Win The Thursday Night Football Game?
According to the odds, the Ravens should win the game; however, anything can happen on the field. The Bengals have been competitive against good teams, and a win could signal a change for the team later in the season. If the Bengals want to get back on track and make a run for the 2024 NFL postseason, they must beat their rivals and split the series for the year.
The Ravens already have their eyes on the postseason with a 6-3 record, and with QB Lamar Jackson and RB Derrick Henry, they are poised to make a deep run. However, the storyline always reads, “Can the Ravens get past the Chiefs in the playoffs.” The Chiefs are currently 8-0 and just added one of the NFL’s top wide receivers to their roster, DeAndre Hopkins.
