- The Bengals are a dismal 2-5 against the spread in the past seven games against losing teams and 1-7 ATS in the past eight at home vs. teams with a losing road mark.
- The Over cashed in four of the past five for the Jets while going 4-1 in the past five overall and 4-0 in their past four against losing teams.
- The Under is 5-1 in Cincinnati’s past six overall and 33-16-2 its past 51 vs. AFC teams.
- The Jets rank 31st in the NFL in total yards per game (262.1), passing yards per game (188.5) and rushing yards per game (73.5), but they have scored exactly 34 points in each of the past three outings.

Prediction
Jets 23, Bengals 17
Moneyline (?)
The JETS (-167) are expected to add to the misery of the Bengals (+135) and keep them with a goose egg in the win column. The way QB Sam Darnold and the offense have been operating lately, there’s no reason to believe they can’t top these winless Bengals.
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the moneyline returns a $6.00 profit with an N.Y. Jets victory.
Against the Spread (?)
The JETS (-3.5, +105) opened a little higher, but the public has been all over the Bengals (+3.5, -125). Perhaps they like the fact Dalton is back, perhaps they’re just going on percentages that the Bengals have to win sooner or later. Either way, take the Jets. It’s always pleasing to go against the public.
Over/Under (?)
Pass. The projected total of 41.5 (-115) is perfect for this game. If Darnold and the offense do what they have the past few weeks, this is an easy Over play. But when do the Jets ever do what they’re supposed to do and live up to their potential?
