The Cincinnati Bengals (3-2) visit the winless Detroit Lions (0-5) Sunday in Week 6 for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Ford Field. Below, we look at the Bengals vs. Lions odds and lines; check back for our NFL picks and predictions.
Cincinnati lost in overtime 25-22 to the visiting Green Bay Packers in Week 5. The Bengals, who were 2-point underdogs, rallied with a TD and game-tying, 2-point conversion with 3:27 to go. They later had a chance to take the lead, but PK Evan McPherson missed a 57-yard field goal with 26 seconds remaining. He also missed a 49-yard attempt that would have won the game in OT with 4:19 to go. The Packers added to the drama by missing three field-goal attempts down the stretch, one with 2:14 left in regulation and two that would have won it – one at the end of regulation and one in overtime.
Meanwhile, Cincy QB Joe Burrow (281 passing yards, 2 TDs) was taken to a hospital after the game to be evaluated for a possible throat contusion.
Detroit suffered a heartbreaking 19-17 loss at the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5. The Lions were on the verge of their first W of 2021 when they “went for the win” and converted a 2-point conversion for a 17-16 lead with 37 seconds remaining. But the Vikings moved the ball from their 18-yard line to the Lions’ 36 on three passes and kicked a game-winning, 54-yard field goal as time expired. At least Detroit covered as 10-point underdogs.
