Two of the AFC's top favorites to win lock horns this week. FInd out which prop angles we like with our Top Sunday Night Football Prop Picks between the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens. 

The defending AFC champion Bengals had a rocky start to their season. Despite that, they still find themselves tied at the top of the North Division with the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens. Cincinnati will look to move back to the top with a win against Baltimore this Sunday night. 

Here are our top SNF Week 5 prop picks (odds via BetMGM, DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook). 

Top SNF Picks

  • J.K. Dobbins Under 50.5 rushing yards (-115 via BetMGM)
  • Tee Higgins anytime touchdown (+150 via FanDuel)
  • Ravens total Under 26.5 (-105 via DraftKings)

Top SNF Prop Picks

Dobbins Under 50.5 rushing yards (-115)

Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins has yet to cross this threshold in either of his two games this season. He faced a top 3 Buffalo Bills rushing defense last week and managed only 41 yards on 13 carries. 

The Bengals have allowed only 343 rushing yards this season. They are the NFL's fourth best defense in total yards surrendered on the ground. Only Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott and Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert have eclipsed this mark against Cincinnati so far this year.  

Higgins anytime touchdown (+150)

Bengals wideout Tee Higgins has seen his stock rise over the last three weeks. That culminated last week when he caught seven of nine targets for 124 yards and a touchdown against Miami. Higgins has completed two TDs on the season. He had a career day during his last meeting with the Ravens, where he caught 12 passes for 194 yards and two touchdowns.

Baltimore allowed both Dolphins running back Tyreek Hill and WR Jaylen Waddle to score two touchdowns each against them in Week 2. They also let special teams regular River Cracraft score in that game. Last week, Isaiah McKenzie registered the only Buffalo TD by a wide receiver, keeping their top option, Stefon Diggs out of the end zone.   

Ravens total Under 26.5 (-105)

Baltimore has gone Over this point total twice in four games. The Ravens opened the season tallying only 24 points against the New York Jets. Last week, they only managed 20 points against the Bills, who are the league's second best, surrendering just 14.5 points per game. The Ravens also failed to score more than 21 points against the Bengals in their last two matchups.

Cincinnati enters this week with just 17.5 PPG allowed (NFL 8th). No team has passed that total against them this season. The Pittsburgh Steelers were the only team to come close, with 23 points against Cincy to open the season.
