Cincinnati Bengals - NFL Betting Analysis
Last week, the Bengals knocked off the Buccaneers by a score of 34-23. Not only did Cincinnati walk away with the win, but they also covered the spread as -3.0 point favorites. With their combined 57 points, the two teams exceeded the betting over-under number of 47. On their way to picking up an 11-point win, Cincinnati held a 3-point lead heading into the 4th quarter at 20-17. Through 14 games, the Bengals have an ATS record of 11-3. So far, they have an over-under record of 5-8-1. This week's betting total of 39.5 is lower than the line in their previous games.
As the Bengals prepare to take on New England, they have played well on offense, ranking 5th in points per game at 26.4. Even though they have a tough matchup against the league's 8th-ranked defense, look for Cincinnati to continue their strong offensive play. This season, Cincinnati has been one of the better passing teams in the league, averaging 262.1 yards per game through the air. Although the Patriots' defense has been able to limit opposing teams in the passing game, Cincinnati should still be able to continue to generate big plays through the pass. On the ground, the Bengals are just the 26th-ranked team in rush yards at 100 yards per game.
New England Patriots - NFL Betting Analysis
This week, the New England Patriots are hoping to get back in the win column after falling 30-24 to the Las Vegas Raiders. The loss was costly, as it came against an AFC opponent. New England not only lost the game but failed to cover the spread as 2.5-point underdogs. With their combined 54 points, the two teams exceeded the betting over-under number of 45. The Patriots were not able to make a comeback in last week's game, as they trailed Las Vegas by a score of 17-13 heading into the final quarter. Through 14 games, the Patriots have an ATS record of 7-6-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 6-8. This week's betting total of 39.5 is slightly lower than the line in their previous games.
As the Patriots prepare to take on Cincinnati, they are ranked 17th in points per game at 21.4 and will be matched up against the NFL's 11th-ranked defense. For the season, the Patriots are ranked 23rd in pass yards per game but could improve these numbers against a secondary ranked 20th in pass yards allowed. On the ground, New England is the 19th-ranked team in rush yards per game and have a tough matchup against a stout defensive front.
