Game: Cincinatti Bengals vs Denver Broncos
Time: 4:30 pm ET
The Bengals have been ROLLING and they have a slight chance to get into the playoffs, and every game is a win or go home for them.
The Broncos still rely on themselves, and winning this game will put the Bengals threat to the grave.
Here we are matching them up pretty good, a BIG Bengals offense vs a BIG Broncos defense, who will come up best? Let the numbers tell us.
The Broncos are 4-4 on the road and the Bengals are 2-5 AT HOME. We all know that the Bengals record is purely their defense’s fault.
Broncos come to the matchup being the allowing 311 yds per game on the road while allowing only 20 ppg to opposing teams. On their last 3 games they have been off as they have been allowing 414 yards per game (!!) and 26 ppg to teams like Chargers, Colts and Browns. And they are going against a BIG offense like the Bengals and a MVP candidate in Joe Burrow! And on the offensive side, they have been below average, yes Nix has been getting good plays but also has struggled, This Bengals defense is exactly what he needs, apparently right?
The Bengals on the other side have been struggling as always on the defensive side of the ball allowing 29 ppg and 367 yards per game at home. While being a menace on the offensive side putting up 376 yards per game and 29 ppg as well to opposing teams.
This is what it is. I have more faith in the Bengals to do business at home, I have more faith in Burrow to cover a -3 spread at home, even with the defense that he has. I like the over as well but we are riding the Bengals.
My prediction: Bengals -3 -110
