Bengals at Eagles: Odds, betting lines, picks and prediction
Prediction
Eagles 23, Bengals 21
Money line (?)
It’s hard to feel very confident in the Eagles after they were upset by Washington and blown out by the Rams in the last two weeks. They should bounce back against the Bengals in Week 3, due largely to Cincinnati’s offensive inefficiency.
The Eagles desperately need a win to regain their confidence, especially being at home against another 0-2 team. Take the EAGLES (-223) to win outright.
Against the spread (?)
As disappointing as the Bengals’ 0-2 record is, they were mostly competitive in their first two games. They nearly upset the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1 and kept it within one possession against the Cleveland Browns last week, so I feel good about them keeping it close against Philadelphia.
This is a good chance to hedge your Eagles money line bet with the Bengals against the spread. Take the BENGALS +4.5 (-110) to cover, as they have in their last nine games against the Eagles.
Over/Under (?)
The Over/Under is 47.5 points in this matchup, which is about average for Week 3. Even though the total went Over in each of the Eagles’ first two games, neither offense is playing all that great right now.
They rank 24th and 29th in points scored this season and now the Eagles will also be without rookie receiver Reagor. Take the UNDER 47.5 (-110) as both teams will struggle to put the total over 47.
