Cincinnati Bengals - NFL Betting Analysis
Last week, the Bengals picked up a game in the AFC North, as they took down the Browns by a score of 23-10. Cincinnati entered the game as -4.0 point favorite and went on to cover the spread. The team's combined scoring of 33 points fell below the posted betting line of 47. On their way to picking up a 13-point win, Cincinnati held a 10-point lead heading into the 4th quarter at 20-10. Through 13 games, the Bengals have an ATS record of 10-3. So far, they have an over-under record of 4-8-1. This week's betting total of 44.0 is right in line with their previous games.
Heading into this week's matchup, the Bengals offense is averaging 25.7 points per game, placing them 7th in the NFL. Even though they have a tough matchup against the league's 9th-ranked defense, look for Cincinnati to continue their strong offensive play. Throughout the game, the Bengals should be able to move the ball through the air, as they are the 4th ranked team in terms of passing yards. In addition, they are facing off against a defense that has been vulnerable in the secondary. For the season, the Bengals are just 24th in rush yards at 103.6 yards per game.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers - NFL Betting Analysis
Last week, the Buccaneers fell by a score of 35-7 to the San Francisco 49ers, giving them a loss in the NFC standings. In terms of betting, Tampa Bay not only lost the game but failed to cover the spread as 3.5-point underdogs. In terms of the over-under, the teams combined for 42 points, which surpassed the betting line of 38. The Buccaneers were not able to make a comeback in last week's game, as they trailed San Francisco by a score of 35-7 heading into the final quarter. Through 13 games, the Buccaneers have an ATS record of 3-9-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 3-10. This week's betting total of 44.0 is right in line with their previous games.
Heading into this week's matchup, the Buccaneers' offense is averaging 17.2 points per game, placing them 28th in the NFL. This season, Tampa Bay has been one of the better passing teams in the league, averaging 265.7 yards per game through the air. Although the Bengals' defense has been able to limit opposing teams in the passing game, Tampa Bay should still be able to continue to generate big plays through the pass. This season, the Buccaneers have not prioritized the run, sitting 32nd in rush attempts and yards.
