Cincinnati Bengals vs Philadelphia Eagles Prediction
I’ll stay with the Eagles here, but I could probably go either way. Philadelphia was great on defense against the lowly Giants over the weekend, giving up just 119 total yards (76 rushing), 2.2 yards per play, and 10 first downs. The Eagles mustered 269 rushing yards on the other side but also went just 1-of-13 on third-down tries.
As for Cincinnati, they put up just 223 total yards (164 passing), 12 first downs, and a 2-of-13 success rate on third downs in their win over the Browns. The Bengals gave up 259 passing yards but also had a couple of interceptions and benefitted from 10 Cleveland penalties. All things considered, this weekend’s matchup should be fairly close, and I think the Eagles can eke out a cover/win.
