Here’s everything bettors need to know for Bengals vs. Ravens in NFL Week 7 action

The AFC North has been one of the NFL's best divisions to begin the year, and two division rivals will square off on Sunday with the Baltimore Ravens hosting the Cincinnati Bengals. The Ravens are 4-2 and are coming off an upset loss to Cleveland last week, while the Bengals are 3-2 and had their bye week in Week 6. The Ravens won't get superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson back this week. This is the third week in a row he's been out with an ankle injury. On the other side, star Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase will hope to keep up his dominant play against Baltimore, as he has eight receiving touchdowns in 10 games against Cincy's rival.
