In addition to two potential season-ending injuries, tackle Ronnie Staley and center Tyler Linderbaum are week-to-week with knee and ankle sprains, respectively. Both could miss Sunday’s game in Cincinnati, leading legal Ohio gambling sites to favor the Bengals despite not scoring a touchdown in Week 1.
A depleted Ravens secondary and rushing attack greatly hurts their +160 odds to beat the Bengals on the road.
