The Baltimore Ravens are battling the Cincinnati Bengals for the lead in the AFC North and the right to host a playoff game. Last season, the Bengals won the AFC North, hosted a wild card game, won it, and were able to make a run to the Super Bowl.
The Ravens would love to follow that path, and they have to beat the teams they are expected to beat in order to accomplish that goal. The Denver Broncos certainly qualify as a team the Ravens should defeat but will there be any surprises here on the NFL betting odds?
Let’s check the latest NFL odds, stats, injury reports, and NFL lines for Broncos vs Ravens. We’ve plenty of Vegas NFL odds and NFL week 13 picks for you to consider.

Broncos Continue To Fail On Offense, Desperately Need A Spark
The Denver Broncos remain incredibly bad on offense. It’s something NFL experts simply did not anticipate before the season began, given that Russell Wilson was arriving in Colorado with a chance – it seemed – to pursue the Super Bowl.
Denver’s defense has been great this season, allowing just 17.6 points per game. That should have the Broncos leading the AFC or at least being very close to the Kansas City Chiefs atop the NFC West.
An average Russell Wilson season – at least if measured by the past four or five seasons – would have the Broncos in great position to make a playoff push in the AFC.
Instead, at 3-8, they are nowhere near the playoffs. They score just 14.3 points per game, putting them at the bottom of the NFL. They have scored more than 16 points just once in their last seven games, which was a 21-point outburst against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
In their most recent game against the Carolina Panthers, they scored just three points through the first three quarters and didn’t score a touchdown until very late in the game, by which point the outcome had already been decided.
They trailed 23-3 and scored a meaningless touchdown for a 23-10 loss. They have scored more than 20 points only once in their last five games, and they have never scored more than 23 points in any game this season.
They have scored more than 20 points only twice all year. It’s really staggering to see how awful this offense has become.
Scoop on Free Play from the Locker Room
Ravens Try To Regroup From Brutal Loss To Jaguars
The Ravens have been playing to the level of their competition all year.
Even when winning, Baltimore has not dominated. Its recent four-game winning streak involved a three-point win over the Browns, a five-point win over the Buccaneer, a 27-13 win over the Saints which could have been much larger, and a 13-3 win over the Panthers.
The Ravens kept playing with fire and they were burned last weekend in Jacksonville. They had multiple leads in the fourth quarter but blew them in a 28-27 defeat to the Jaguars.
Baltimore had a 19-10 lead with six minutes left and then allowed 18 points in the final six minutes to lose.
The Ravens still had a 27-20 lead with 30 seconds left, but allowed a touchdown and a 2-point conversion to drop a game in the standings, essentially ruining any chance of gaining the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs.

Broncos vs Ravens Picks & Prediction
Predicted Score: Ravens 23, Broncos 10
- Worth betting on the Moneyline?
– Yes. The Ravens losing last week in Jacksonville makes them a good bet online to win this week. Also fold this game into an NFL parlay
- Worth to bet ATS?
– Yes. The Broncos look like a team which has no belief left. The continued, unending struggles of their offense are creating a very sour locker room and a group of players on offense who just don’t enjoy playing with each other.
The Broncos could very easily implode but that point aside, the Ravens’ defense should eat them up. Lay the points in the sportsbook.
- Worth betting on the Totals?
– The Broncos just don’t score much. The under has cashed in seven straight for them and it’s a good bet for your NFL picks to hit again.
