Bengals at Cowboys picks and predictions

Prediction

Cowboys 32, Bengals 29

Moneyline

The COWBOYS (+200) are worth a roll of the dice for the chance to double up. They head into this game with back-to-back victories, including an impressive road win over the Washington Commanders. And, for all intents and purposes, Dallas has been on a second bye, last playing on Thanksgiving on Nov. 28. The Cowboys should be rested and raring to go.

Against the spread

If you can’t back the COWBOYS +5.5 (-110) straight up, they’re catching a healthy amount of points in this prime-time matchup in Big D.

The Bengals -5.5 (-110) have lost 3 in a row, and they have lost outright in the past 2 instances as a favorite. Cincinnati is also 1-3 SU and 2-2 ATS in 4 prime-time matchups so far this season.

Over/Under

OVER 49.5 (-115) is a high number, but it’s a strong play.

The Over has hit in 5 in a row for the Bengals, going for 27 or more points in 4 games in a row, while the defense has allowed 24 or more points in each of the 5 games, and 9 of the past 11 outings. The Over is 9-2 in that 11-game stretch, too. Against the NFC, Cincinnati has hit the Over in 2 of 3 games, with the only exception a low-scoring win against the lowly New York Giants.

For Dallas, it has cashed high in 3 in a row, going for 30.5 PPG in the past 2 games, while allowing 26.7 PPG in the 3-game span.
