Bengals to Patriots picks and predictions
Prediction
Bengals 23, Patriots 14
Moneyline
PASS.
The gap in this game is only 3. The Bengals are the better team and should be able to cover that number. However, I would not bet -155 on the moneyline. It would, however, make a nice addition to a multi-team betting game.
Against the spread
BENGAL BET -3 (-112).
Burrow comes back to life in December. After falling behind by 17 points last Sunday, Burrow led the Bengals with 31 points in the second half.
WR Higgins t-shirt showed his abilities when WR Ja’Marr Chase missed time and now that Chase is back, the Bengals dominate the secondaries. The Bengals need this game to stay ahead of the Ravens in the AFC North and won’t turn to the Bills – their next opponent – which is bad news for the Patriots. BENGALS -3 (-112) is my FAVORITE GAME.
More less
BET UNDER 42 (-110).
Even with the explosive nature of the Bengals offense, this game should be a little softer.
The weather is expected to be freezing and windy, which means a lot more precipitation than a normal Bengals game. They will still score. But not enough to end this game. The Patriots are banged up in the backfield and that will make it difficult for them to score a lot of points.
