Eagles vs Bengals Prediction

The current betting odds have the Bengals listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bengals haven't looked great in their games this season with their 3-4 record overall, but they have looked a lot better in their games lately. They have won 2 games in a row now and have some momentum on their side. Meanwhile, the Eagles have looked good in their games this season with their 4-2 record overall, but they still haven't looked right on offense. They have also won 2 games in a row now but they struggled to beat the Browns at home in one of those, winning that one 20-16. They are also coming off a 28-3 blow out win over the Giants in their last one, but that was a game where the Giants offense couldn't get anything done so the Eagles managed to pull away throughout the game. Their offense still struggled quite a bit against that defense though and as bad as the Bengals have looked on defense this season, they have looked a lot better in their last 2 games. They haven't been giving up as many points on defense lately and the Bengals are still searching for their first home win of the year so this is a game they are going to bring their best effort for, especially since a win gets them back to .500. The Bengals also have one of the best offenses in the NFL right now and they have been a lot more consistent than the Eagles offense has been all season so with the Bengals playing better on defense now too, the edge is with them at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bengals to cover the spread in this game.
