The Carolina Panthers (2-6) travel to the Queen City to take on the Cincinnati Bengals (4-4) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at Panthers vs. Bengals odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our NFL picks and predictions.
After a tough 33-14 division loss Monday night at the Cleveland Browns, the Bengals return home looking to get back into the AFC North race. With WR Ja’Marr Chase (hip) missing, the Bengals offense took a nosedive. It only had 36 yards rushing and was outgained 440 to 229 yards by Cleveland. The offense will need to perform better at home if the Bengals want to get through this storm and come out the other side still standing.

The Panthers almost pulled off a magical comeback Sunday but lost 37-34 in overtime at the Atlanta Falcons. Carolina K Eddy Piñeiro missed a 48-yard extra point — following a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after the tying TD with the 12 seconds left — and he missed a 32-yard FG attempt in overtime. Carolina led 28-24 with 3:06 to go, but Atlanta scored a TD and FG for a 34-28 lead with 36 seconds left.
Even without WR Christian McCaffrey (traded to the 49ers), the Panthers are fighting hard under interim coach Steve Wilks. Being forced by injury to go to QB P.J. Walker (317 passing yards, 1 TD Sunday) has given this team a boost and he has already been announced as the Week 9 starter.

Panthers vs. Bengals head-to-head
The Panthers and Bengals last played in September 2018 with Carolina winning at home 31-21 as a 2.5-point favorite. Both teams are vastly different from the teams which played in that game.
QB Cam Newton is gone and so is coach Ron Rivera for Carolina. For the Bengals, no longer is Marvin Lewis coach and QB Andy Dalton is now in New Orleans.
These cross-conference rivals do not have much of a history to rely on in this game. Nor do they have any recent history to look back to. If you are hoping to find an edge based on past results, this is not the game to do it in.
Carolina leads the all-time series 3-2-1 — the first meeting was in 1999.
