[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Cincinnati Bengals (0-3) and the Carolina Panthers (1-2) meet for a Week 4 game at Bank of America Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at Bengals vs. Panthers odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds before making our expert NFL picks and predictions later in the week.

The Bengals offense was electric at home Monday night against the Washington Commanders, but Cincinnati suffered a 38-33 loss as a 7.5-point home favorite. The defense allowed 356 total yards. Plus, Washington was 3-for-3 in the red zone, while Cincinnati was 2-for-4.

Cincinnati slipped to 0-3 straight up (SU) and 1-2 against the spread (ATS), while cashing the Over in each of the previous 2 outings.

The Panthers benched 2023 No. 1 overall pick QB Bryce Young prior to the Week 3 trip to Las Vegas. Carolina then upset the Las Vegas Raiders 36-22 behind QB Andy Dalton, who became the 1st QB this season to throw for 300+ yards and 3 TDs in a single game. Carolina was a 5.5-point underdog and the Over (40) easily cashed.

Carolina had managed just 13 total points — and 1 touchdown — in the first 2 games, while allowing 73 points, while going 0-2 ATS with the Over-Under splitting 1-1.

Along with the Bengals being 0-3, a major storyline will be Dalton facing his former team. The Red Rifle he played his first 9 seasons for Cincinnati where he was a 3-time Pro Bowl selection and led the Bengals to the playoffs 4 times — unfortunately, Cincy went 0-4 in playoff games.
