[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Cincinnati Bengals (0-3) travel to meet the Carolina Panthers (1-2) for a Week 4 game at Bank of America Stadium Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Bengals vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Bengals suffered a tough 38-33 loss at home against the Washington Commanders Monday night, and Cincinnati is inexplicably 0-3 straight up and just 1-2 against the spread (ATS) through 3 games. The Over has cashed in 2 in a row, as the defense has allowed 32.0 PPG with the offense going for 29.0 PPG.

The Bengals will see a familiar face under center, as Carolina has QB Andy Dalton making his 2nd straight start. He transformed the offense in his 1st start in Week 3, as the Panthers won 36-22 as 5.5-point underdogs at the Las Vegas Raiders.

Carolina coach Dave Canales benched 2023 No. 1 overall pick QB Bryce Young after 2 games, as the team managed just 13 total points while allowing 73 points. Dalton became the 1st QB of the 2024 season to throw for 300+ yards and 3+ TDs in a single game.

Bengals at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Bengals 27, Panthers 16

Moneyline

Who would have thought the Bengals (-225) would be winless at this juncture?

Backing Cincinnati, and risking more than 2 times your potential return, is not a recommended wager. That’s way too much risk for not much reward.

PASS.

Against the spread

While there were a ton of good feelings surrounding the Panthers +4.5 (-110) after last week’s surprising win, the BENGALS -4.5 (-110) are the play in Week 4.

Carolina suffered some key injuries last week in Las Vegas. It lost veteran WR Adam Thielen to a season-ending hamstring injury, and WR Diontae Johnson suffered a groin ailment. The latter is questionable, and if he cannot go, Dalton’s offense might look very similar to the one Young had to work with.

The Bengals are going to be an angry bunch after an 0-3 start, but all is not lost yet. There is plenty of time to turn things around, but it all begins in Charlotte.

Over/Under

UNDER 47.5 (-110) is a good-looking play.

While the Bengals have had trouble stopping people lately, Cincinnati should be OK against a Carolina team which might be down its top 2 pass catchers. The offensive line is a little banged up for the Panthers, too, and that shouldn’t be discounted.

First look: Cincinnati Bengals at Carolina Panthers odds and lines

Looking at Sunday’s Cincinnati Bengals at Carolina Panthers Week 4 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

[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.
