The 2025 NFL Thanksgiving schedule concludes with an AFC North showdown, with the Baltimore Ravens hosting the Cincinnati Bengals at 8:20 p.m. ET.
This game is massive and could mark the return of Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who has missed the last nine games with a toe injury, and Cincinnati has gone just 1-8 in that span.
Below, I’ll examine this Ravens vs. Bengals matchup further and provide my best Thanksgiving NFL bets.
Bengals vs Ravens Predictions for Thanksgiving 2025
All NFL odds used for these Bengals vs Ravens Thanksgiving best bets are current as of Tuesday, Nov. 25, and courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.
Bengals +7 (-110)
To start my NFL Thanksgiving game predictions, I’ll take the Bengals to cover the spread.
Again, it hasn’t been confirmed yet, but if Burrow is back in the lineup, he’ll be able to make up for the Bengals’ league-worst defense.
The Ravens primarily play Cover-1 and Cover-3, and dating back to last season, Burrow has completed 68% of his passes on 319 attempts, with 18 touchdowns and seven interceptions against those coverages.
He should help the Bengals stay within one score on the road, making this my NFL pick of the day.
Under 51.5 Total Points (-110)
For the second in my series of Thanksgiving Day NFL picks, I’ll take the under at 51.5 points.
This decision may seem strange considering this game involves the Bengals defense, which allows a league-high 32.7 points and 415.8 yards per game.
However, the Ravens’ passing attack hasn’t really had any juice to it lately, averaging just 163 yards per game over their last three contests (28th in the NFL).
Not only that, but Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson has suffered a new injury in each of the last three weeks, including his knee, ankle, and now his toe. Those ailments could limit some of his playmaking ability.
Mark Andrews: 50+ Receiving Yards (+166)
To lead off my Thanksgiving Day NFL props, I’m backing Andrews to record 50-plus receiving yards at plus-money odds.
He has only accomplished this feat once this season, but he’s in a good spot here to potentially do so again.
Yes, the Ravens’ passing game has been pedestrian lately, but the Bengals are especially terrible at defending tight ends, allowing 87.45 receiving yards per game to the position.
Over the last three games, Andrews is second on the Ravens in target share at 17.8%. Back him to reach a half-century of receiving yards with our best sports betting promos for 2025.
Derrick Henry: Anytime TD (-220)
Henry has scored nine times this season and has been the first touchdown scorer for the Ravens six times.
Opposing running backs are averaging 25.55 carries for 131.09 yards (5.13 yards per carry), and 0.82 rushing touchdowns per game against the Bengals.

Henry has scored three times over the last two games, and the Bengals have allowed three rushing touchdowns over their last four.
This prop should hit easily in a game with a high total.
Ja’Marr Chase: Anytime TD (-110)
To close out my Thanksgiving Day NFL player props, I’m picking Chase to score.
When Burrow has been on the field, Chase leads the Bengals in target share at 28.6%. He played in one full game and some of the second with Burrow, but over that span, he caught six passes for 63 yards and a touchdown.
Not only that, but fellow wide receiver Tee Higgins will miss this game with a concussion.
Dating back to last season, in cases where Burrow has been on the field, and Higgins hasn’t, Chase is the overwhelmingly favored target, seeing 68 of them and catching 49 passes for 598 yards and five touchdowns.
He’ll be targeted plenty in this matchup.
