Cincinnati Bengals vs Carolina Panthers Prediction 

Cincinnati comes into this matchup looking for their first win of the season, after their defense was torched by the Commanders last week. The Bengals played well against KC in their second game, losing by just one point, but weeks one and three have been a disaster. Carolina was blown out in their first two games, but Andy Dalton looked great in their week three win. I think the Carolina offense can have another solid day against this struggling Cincinnati defense, while I expect Burrow and Company to move the ball pretty easily, so I like the over here.
