Eagles at Bengals picks and predictions

Prediction

Eagles 28, Bengals 27

Moneyline

PASS.

This matchup is too close to call, as both teams have been inconsistent this season. The Eagles (+120) have been Jekyll and Hyde, while the Bengals (-145), after a slow start, have shown improvement lately. Rather than risking the moneyline, it’s smarter to focus on the spread for this wager, as it might offer a better opportunity for betting.

Against the spread

BET EAGLES +2.5 (-105).

While the Bengals have recently found success, it’s worth noting those wins came against weaker teams like the Cleveland Browns, New York Giants and Carolina Panthers. The Eagles, despite their struggles, have been plagued by injuries, but are now as healthy as they’ve been all season. That could be a game-changer.

There’s definitely value in taking the Eagles with the points, especially as this bet can also be viewed as a wager against the Bengals. Their last matchup ended in a tie, adding a layer of unpredictability to the game. Philadelphia is also motivated to secure their first win against Cincinnati since 2000. With all these factors at play, taking the Eagles and the points could prove to be a smart move for bettors looking to capitalize on this matchup.

Over/Under

BET OVER 48 (-110).

The Bengals have surpassed the total in 4 of their last 5 games when the line was set at 46 points or higher. While both teams have yet to find their offensive rhythm this season, there’s ample potential for scoring. The Over has hit in 2 of their last 3 head-to-head meetings, and Cincinnati averages 27 points per game at home. Additionally, the Bengals have gone Over in 4 of their last 6 games and 3 of their last 4 home games, making the Over an appealing option for this matchup.
