The Cincinnati Bengals come into this game on the heels of back-to-back wins after a 37-30 win over Pittsburgh in their last game. Joe Burrow has thrown for 2,890 yards, 22 touchdowns and 8 interceptions on 69.1% passing while Joe Mixon leads the Bengals with 605 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns so far this year. Tee Higgins has 50 grabs for 712 receiving yards with 3 TDs while Ja’Marr Chase has 47 grabs for 606 yards and 6 TDs but is continuing to miss time due to injury and Tyler Boyd has 579 receiving yards and 4 scores as well on the year. On defense, Germaine Pratt has a team-high 68 total tackles while Trey Hendrickson has a team-high 6 sacks this season.
The Tennessee Titans will try to build on a 27-17 win over Green Bay in their last game. Ryan Tannehill has thrown for 1,685 yards. 10 touchdowns and 3 interceptions on 65.1% passing while Derrick Henry leads the Titans with 1,010 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns so far this season. Robert Woods leads the Titans with 30 catches for 336 receiving yards while another three receivers for the Titans have 200+ receceiving yards and another three receivers for Tennessee have 100+ receiving yards. On defense, David Long Jr. has a team-high 79 total tackles while Denico Autry hasa team-high 7 sacks and Jeffery Simmons has 6.5 sacks as well. Rashad Weaver also has 5.5 sacks on the year for Tennessee.
Cincinnati is 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games against a team with a winning record and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games in November while the over is 4-0-1 in their last 5 games overall. Tennessee is 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games overall and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games while the under is 5-0 in their last 5 games against the AFC.
I get the case to be made either way here, and this is tough for the Bengals on back-to-back road games. However, the Bengals defense looked reinvigorated with the return of DJ Reader up front as he’s their run stopper and that’s going to be key with Derrick Henry in the opposing backfield. The Bengals offense has also started to come alive again and should have a field day against the 30th ranked pass defense of the Titans. Tennessee’s had a nice cover run, but I think this is where it stops. Give me the Bengals here.
