Philadelphia Eagles vs Cincinnati Bengals Prediction
This line is a bit confusing to me. Yes, the Bengals look like they’re getting their act together, but they recently beat the Browns, Giants, and Panthers, three of the worst teams in the NFL. I’ve been hard on the Philadelphia Eagles dating back to last season, but there’s talent on this roster, and they’re as healthy as they’ve been all year. Basically, I’m not ready to say the Bengals have right the ship, and I still see value in the Eagles as an underdog, coaching issues or not. I’ll grab the points with the Eagles, but it’s more of a fade of the Bengals in the favorite role more than anything.
