The Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles meet Sunday in week 3 NFL action at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Cincinnati Bengals look for a feel good victory here to prevent a rough 0-3 start to the season. The Cincinnati Bengals have lost eight straight road games. Joe Buritem is completing 61.9 percent of his passes for 509 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Buritem enters this game with 97 career pass attempts. Tyler Boyd and CJ Uzomah have combined for 192 receiving yards and two touchdowns while AJ Green has eight receptions. The Cincinnati Bengals ground game is averaging 95 yards per contest, and Joe Mixon leads the way with 115 yards on 35 carries. Defensively, Cincinnati is allowing 25.5 points and 398 yards per game. Vonn Bell leads the Cincinnati Bengals with 16 tackles, Carl Lawson has one sack and William Jackson III has one interception.

The Philadelphia Eagles also need a win here to prevent a 0-3 start to the NFL season. The Philadelphia Eagles have split their last eight home games. Carson Wentz is completing 58.8 percent of his passes for 512 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions. Wentz has two or more touchdown passes in four of his last seven games. Dallas Goedert and DeSean Jackson have combined for 241 receiving yards and one touchdown while Jalen Reagor has five receptions. The Philadelphia Eagles ground game is averaging 89 yards per contest, and Miles Sanders leads the way with 95 yards and one touchdown. Defensively, Philadelphia is allowing 32 points and 344 yards per game. Nathan Gerry leads the Philadelphia Eagles with 17 tackles, Josh Sweat has one sack and Rodney McLeod has two pass deflections.

The Bengals are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games on grass and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Eagles are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite, 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The over is 5-1 in Bengals last 6 games overall. The under is 7-1 in Eagles last 8 home games. The Bengals are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

The Philadelphia Eagles have done nothing through two games to suggest backing in the favorite role and it’s not like their schedule has been incredibly difficult. The Eagles defense has been horrendous to say the least. The Cincinnati Bengals have been a lot more competitive through two games and had their chances to beat the Bitemns on the road. The Bengals have also had extra time to prepare for this game after playing last Thursday. I’ll take a shot with the Bengals and the free points.
