Bengals vs Jets Prediction 10/26/25 NFL Picks Today

The New York Jets and the Cincinnati Bengals meet Sunday in NFL action from Paycor Stadium. Here’s a Bengals vs Jets prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Bengals vs Jets pick.

New York Jets Betting Preview

New York started out the season with a promising effort versus a pretty decent Pittsburgh Steelers team, losing 34-32 at home. The Jets were then pummeled by the Buffalo Bills the next week however, and would take losses to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Miami Dolphins in the next pair—both close games, though. After a 37-22 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, the Jets fell in a weird 13-11 result versus the Denver Broncos in London. In that matchup New York gained an embarrassing 82 total yards, negative-10 passing yards, 1.4 yards per play, eight first downs and an abysmal 2-of-15 success rate on third-down conversion attempts.

In last weekend’s matchup with the Carolina Panthers, the Jets were facing a one-touchdown deficit by the break. New York could only muster a field goal in the second half along the way to yet another loss 13-6. QB Tyrod Taylor finished 10-of-22 for 126 yards and two interceptions, while Breece Hall carried 11 times for 38 yards. Tyler Johnson put up three catches for 60 yards as the team’s leading receiver in the home defeat.

Cincinnati Bengals Betting Preview

Over on the Bengals’ side, they were able to eke out an opener win versus the rival Cleveland Browns, then beat the Jacksonville Jaguars by four points in game two. Cincinnati would hit the skids after that however, falling to the Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers in the next quartet of appearances. In the loss to Green Bay, the Bengals defense gave up 409 yards, 6.8 yards per play and 24 first downs but didn’t do too badly on third-downs with a 5-of-11 success rate. The offense wasn’t great though, generating a tepid 268 yards and 4.3 yards per play.

Cincinnati was finally able to get back into the win column last Thursday versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the home matchup, the Bengals overcame an early deficit and won 33-31 despite giving up points in every quarter. QB Joe Flacco logged a 31-of-47 line for 342 yards and three scores, while Chase Brown carried 11 times for 108 yards. Ja’Marr Chase was the team’s leading receiver with 16 catches for 161 yards and one touchdown. Tee Higgins added six grabs for 96 yards and a score as well.

Bengals vs Jets Prediction

I’m staying with Cincinnati. The Bengals are coming off a wild Thursday game versus the rival Steelers, and the offense did a pretty good job in that one overall. Cincinnati mustered 470 yards total, 328 passing yards, 6.5 yards per play, 27 first downs, 7-of-14 on third-down tries and zero turnovers. On the other side the Bengals gave up 7.3 yards per play and 7-of-10 on third downs but also came away with a couple of interceptions. The worrisome part of Cincinnati’s game is scoring potential: they’ve been below 19 points in five of seven games so far. That said, the Bengals should have plenty of scoring chances here.

As for the Jets, they played another miserable game on offense last weekend against the Panthers. New York put up just 220 yards with 3.7 yards per play, 12 first downs and a pair of interceptions. The defense wasn’t too bad though, giving up just 17 first downs and 5-of-17 on third-down tries. That makes just 17 combined points in the last two outings for the Jets. The defense has allowed only 13 points in each of those, however. That said, I can’t trust New York to do much of anything these days.
