Packers vs Bengals
This interconference matchup is between two teams trying to hold onto first place in their respective divisions. Both teams are 3-1, with the Bengals being the surprising team to hold that mark. The Packers have the more impressive body of work thus far, as their loss was a game they simply came out flat and unprepared for on the road in Week 1. They have been impressive on offense since, and that will continue Sunday. The Bengals have had an easier stretch from a schedule perspective, and will try to notch their first impressive win of the year at home.

Why Bet The Packers
✅ The Packers Week1 performance, or lack thereof, was a one off by all indications. They have bounced back with three straight wins and the offense has certainly righted the ship. They are averaging over 30 points per game in those three wins. The defense has been solid, if not swarming, allowing 20 points per game. The Aaron Rodgers to Davante Adams connection is alive and well, as those two have hooked up for 26 catches, 317 yards and a score over the three game span. This bodes well for the Packers, as the only competent quarterback play the Bengals faced this season, was when they allowed Kirk Cousins to throw for 351 yards and a pair of scores.
✅ The Bengals are a team that does not look as good as their record suggests. They have an ugly loss to the Bears already and two of their wins have come against the struggling Steelers and Jaguars. The combined record of teams they have beaten is 2-10. They may have difficulty on offense, as Joe Mixon is in danger of missing this game. They will need Mixon and the juice he brings if they are going to keep a scoring pace with the Packers. If they are forced to become one dimensional, we could see turnovers from Joe Burrow.

✅ The line on this game is simply too tight. A road spot will not affect Aaron Rodgers and the passing game effectiveness. The Bengals offense will have to be perfect to keep this truly competitive, particularly wither missing Mixon completely or with him being limited. We will see the Bengals defense be a pass funnel. The more matchups this team has with opponents with competent passing games, the more that will become clear.
