Cincinnati Bengals Betting Preview
The Bengals mustered a 4-5 run through their first nine games, falling to the Patriots, Chiefs, Commanders, Ravens, and Eagles along the way. Cincinnati would drop their next three to the Ravens, Chargers, and Steelers.
In their Monday matchup with Dallas, the Bengals were all tied up going into the fourth quarter 17-17. Thanks (in part) to a botched blocked punt, Cincinnati would emerge victorious 27-20. The Bengals’ Joe Burrow finished with 369 yards, three TDs, and one interception. Ja’Marr Chase caught 14 balls for 177 yards and two scores as the lead receiver.
Tennessee Titans Betting Preview
Over on the Titans’ side, they limped to a 2-6 record through eight with losses to the Bears, Jets, Packers, Colts, Bills, and Lions. Tennessee lost to the Chargers, Vikings, and Commanders during a 1-3 run in their next quartet of outings.
On Sunday versus the Jaguars, Tennessee had a 6-0 lead going into the final quarter but eventually lost 10-6. Will Levis threw for 168 yards, while Calvin Ridley caught seven balls for 59 yards. Tony Pollard added 21 carries for 102 yards as the top rusher.

Cincinnati Bengals vs Tennessee Titans Prediction
I’ll lean toward Cincinnati. On Monday the Bengals were able to muster some late magic to finish off the Cowboys. Cincinnati would finish with 433 total yards and 23 first downs, but it likely won’t be remembered as a great performance—especially in the second half. The 10 penalties didn’t help matters either. That said, the Bengals have scored 27 or more points in five straight games now and should be able to hold the Titans in check defensively.
Speaking of Tennessee, they’re coming off another frustrating showing against a struggling Jaguars team. The Titans posted 272 yards (126 rushing) and 17 first downs in that one but they were still in a position to win late. Tennessee has been below 21 points in eight of the last nine games. I don’t think the Titans have the offensive gas to keep pace if the Bengals play well.
