Cincinnati Bengals vs Dallas Cowboys Betting Preview

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals faceoff against Cooper Rush and the Dallas Cowboys. The Bengals enter the game as a big favorite (-235) despite being on the road. Cincinnati is currently favored by -5.5 points while the Game Total is currently sitting on 49.5.

Cincinnati's biggest strength has been their offense, ranking #6 in the league with 357 yards per game. They've achieved offensive success largely through the quality of their passing attack, which is #1-best in football with 278 yards per game. This represents a particular advantage for Cincinnati given that the Cowboys have struggled so much to stop the pass this year, allowing 8.68 yards per target (#2-worst in the league). In terms of their defense, the Bengals have ranked #27 in the league in total yards allowed per game. Opposing offenses have passed for 252 yards per game through the air against them (#6 in football). On the ground, opposing ball-carriers have ranked #17 with 4.63 yards per carry. Positionally, perhaps their best defensive asset has been their linebackers, which rank #2 in the league in terms of stopping the run. Cincinnati has been least effective in shutting down opposing running backs, giving up a 91.4% completion rate (#3-highest).

Dallas's primary disadvantage has been their defense, which has allowed a monstrous 384 yards per game this year, sliding them into the #6 spot among the league's worst. Much of their struggle has come in trying to shut down the run game, as they've allowed opposing ball-carriers to rush for the #4-most yards per carry: 5.19. That kind of ineffectiveness has also leached over to their pass defense, which has landed them in the #31 spot in terms of yards per target (8.68). Cowboys defensive tackles are perhaps most responsible for their dismal run defense this year, given that they grade out as the #7-worst unit in the NFL. When it comes to their offense, the Cowboys check in at #19 in football when it comes to total yards per game. Their passing game has compiled 249 yards per game (#8 in football). Their run game has ranked #28 with 3.62 yards per attempt on the ground.
