Bengals vs Giants Prediction
The current betting odds have the Bengals listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bengals have looked terrible in their games this season with their 1-4 record overall and they are coming off another loss in their last one, blowing a late lead against the Ravens. Their offense has been rolling in their games lately but their defense has been their biggest problem. Meanwhile, the Giants haven't looked great in their games this season with their 2-3 record overall, but they are coming off a win against the Seahawks in their last one. They didn't start the season well, but they have looked a lot better in their games lately and even pulled off the win last week while missing 2 of their best players on offense. They should be getting those players back this week and that will be good since this Bengals defense has been giving up a ton of points this year. The Bengals have also been putting up a ton of points though and they are going to be desperate for a win here. Their season is already barely hanging on and they were so close to beating the Ravens last week too. The Giants are going to put up points on this defense, but the Bengals do have one of the best offenses in the NFL right now and at the end of the day, they are going to put up a ton of points here and make sure they outscore the weaker team to win this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bengals to cover the spread in this game.
