Joe Burrow returns for the Cincinnati Bengals in the nightcap of Thursday’s U.S. Thanksgiving tripleheader.
The pregame narrative: With a juicy 51.5-point projected total, this holiday edition of Thursday Night Football between the Bengals and Baltimore Ravens should have plenty of touchdowns. Overs went 4-0 between these teams over the two previous seasons.

Bengals vs. Ravens TD picks
Best bet: Andrews to score (+100)
Earlier in the week, I backed Andrews to go over 37.5 receiving yards in what is the best imaginable matchup for him.
I’m just as big of a fan of this wager, especially with how often he’s seeing targets near the goal line.
- Andrews has been targeted at least once inside the five-yard line in each of the past four games (five targets inside the five-yard line in total in that span).
- He has three receiving TDs and a 35-yard rushing TD in his past four games.
-> Bet on Andrews to score at +100 on Thursday Night Football
With that kind of consistency in the most valuable part of the field, Andrews could be a worthwhile TD pick against any team right now. But he’s especially enticing against the Bengals.
According to Pro Football Reference, Cincinnati has allowed 962 receiving yards and 13 TDs to opposing tight ends in just 11 games.
For context, no other team has allowed even 800 receiving yards or eight TDs to tight ends.
If it’s not Derrick Henry bulldozing his way up the middle in goal-to-go situations, look for the Ravens to turn to Andrews in this Grade-A matchup.
Key stat: Andrews balled out against the Bengals last year, catching 10 passes for 123 yards and a touchdown in two games.
Thursday Night Football anytime TD prediction
Iosivas to score (+250): Ja’Marr Chase will probably be a target hog tonight, and rightfully so, but I’m hoping there’s still something left on the plate for Iosivas.
With Chase serving a suspension last week, Iosivas led the Bengals in targets (seven) and receiving yards (61). He has 12 catches for 147 yards and a touchdown over his past three games.
Burrow’s return doesn’t guarantee that Iosivas will continue seeing that kind of volume. But I like the Princeton grad’s chances over the lesser-known Mitchell Tinsley.

Tinsley, who has 12 targets in 11 games with the Bengals, has never caught a pass from Burrow.
Iosivas, meanwhile, had a TD reception from Burrow in each of the Bengals’ final three games last season.
Both Chase and Chase Brown are on the short side of even money to score. If you’re looking for a plus-money play with the Bengals, Iosivas looks like the most compelling option.
