Primetime Parlay: Bengals vs. Ravens Same Game Parlay Picks and Props
Throughout the NFL season, this article will use ScoresAndOdds’ ParlayIQ tool to examine building same game parlays across various sports betting sites for primetime NFL matchups. We will examine stats, roster news, trends, player props and betting odds across sportsbooks to pick the most profitable combination of outcomes for primetime games. Now let’s build our Bengals vs. Ravens same-game parlay for Sunday Night Football.
Good morning, RotoGrinders! While you enjoy a cup of coffee and some football across the pond, we examine a phenomenal primetime matchup. The Bengals meet the Ravens on Sunday night — the perfect elixir for one of the worst football games the world was forced to endure. Ready to build a same-game parlay for Bengals at Ravens? Me too. Let’s ride… joking, just joking.
Bengals vs. Ravens Same Game Parlay Preview
FanDuel Sportsbook pegs the Ravens as 3.5-point favorites at home although the juice rests on the Bengals side (-118). The implied total is 47.5 points. 76% of the money bet was on the Ravens throughout the week. Interestingly, 63% of tickets side with the over while 83% of bettors’ money lies on the under.
As for injuries, the news is a bit heavy for the evening affair. The Ravens look likely to return their prized tackle, Ronnie Stanley. That said, Rashod Bateman is out with a foot injury and Marcus Peters looks very, very questionable after not playing at Friday’s practice with a quad injury. Peters missing the game cannot help a Ravens’ pass defense allowing 7.1 yards per pass attempt.
Meanwhile, the Bengals mark Tee Higgins and Hayden Hurst questionable with the latter not practicing on Friday. Higgins was likely limited to insure he plays on Sunday night.
With the reverse line action on the total, I want to see what our simulations think about the game. Let’s get into our same game parlay ticket.
Bengals-Ravens Same Game Parlay Picks
Under 47.5 Points
The return of Ronnie Stanley and J.K. Dobbins leads me to believe that this game can be a ground affair for the Ravens. Lamar Jackson will pass the ball (we’ll get to that) but I won’t be surprised to see a healthy dose of J.K. Dobbins to possess the ball and take some pressure off of a receiving corps without Rashod Bateman.
Of course, if the Ravens are successful on the ground, we should see long drives. The Bengals have been sound against the run thus far but the RPO game with Lamar Jackson will be Cincinnati’s toughest test.
The reverse line movement makes me want to lean with sharper bettors. I am going to open this one game parlay with the under.
Mark Andrews Over 69.5 Receiving Yards
Now, about the passing game. Baltimore playing a possession game doesn’t mean the alpha receiver won’t get fed. Without Rashod Bateman, I anticipate Lamar Jackson will be looking for his athletic tight end throughout this contest.
Per RotoGrinders GridironIQ, Andrews comes into this game with greater than a 32% market share of the targets. Without Bateman, I’ll take the over. Andrews can flirt with 100 yards while this game stays under.
Tee Higgins Over 66.5 Receiving Yards
Tee Higgins has not struggled to smash this number over his last three weeks. While he is on the injury report, the limited practices seem to be of the maintenance variety.
Teams seem to be honing in on Ja’Marr Chase this season with many bodies while leaving Tee Higgins one-on-one with a better cover corner. If Marcus Peters cannot go, this approach will prove difficult for the Ravens. Higgins and Chase have a nearly identical target-share, I prefer taking the discount on Tee.
We will go over here as well. The sims love this play despite the negative correlation. We are also likely to see a boost from FanDuel because we are taking statistical props with a bet on the under.
Lamar Jackson Over 224.5 Passing Yards
To round out our parlay, I want the over on Lamar Jackson and his passing yards. I am willing to throw out the Buffalo game because of the weather. While Lamar doesn’t always pile up passing yards because of his rushing ability, I believe this number is too low for one of the better quarterbacks thus far in 2022.
Lamar looks like he is on a mission to prove he is worth a large contract extension. So far, it’s hard to blame him. Jackson brings a dynamic that nobody can match outside of Josh Allen. His 79.2 QBR is third overall in the league. I anticipate we see a great performance from Lamar on Sunday night.

ParlayIQ’s simulations offer the following price and percentage for our parlay:
Fortunately for us, we see this price on FanDuel:
A small boost built-in, likely because the player prop overs don’t necessarily correlate with the under. The lack of Rashod Bateman means Mark Andrews could be locked on to throughout the game. That doesn’t necessitate a huge score. Good luck!
