The Bengals played the San Francisco 49ers on October 29 at Levi’s Stadium. They were a big underdog and looked to pull off the upset.
They wanted to put off the upset, and if they lost, they would move to 2-4 on the year which would make it hard to win their division.
The Bengals are a big underdog in this game, but they have a talented roster and Joe Burrow is 3-0 in games where he is a 6-point underdog.
In this game, the Bengals look to upset the 49ers to keep up with the best division in football.
“They opened up as six-point underdogs to the 49ers. That line’s since been bet down a bit to the 49ers by 5.5 points.
According to The Action Network, Cincinnati is getting 56% of the bets as of this writing. They’ve covered two consecutive games as the franchise tries to keep pace in the toughest division in football,” according to Sports Illustrated.
The Bengals are in one of the toughest divisions in the NFL, so it is very important to win this game so they can stay on pace with the rest of the teams in the division. One of the teams in the conference has already beat the 49ers, but the 49ers are still one of the top teams in the NFL.
The Bengals have a very hard division, so it’s important to win this game.
“The AFC North is the best division in football and it isn’t particularly close. No teams in the division have a losing record, no other divisions can say that Combined, the AFC North has nine losses. The next closest is the NFC East with 12 losses 3,” says Dawgsbynature.
Even though the Bengals are under dogs, they are still a very talented team. Joe Burrow is getting better from his calf strain and his performances are getting better. Tee Higgins is possibly able to come back. Higgins and Ja’marr Chase have the most talented wide receiver core in the NFL.
Burrow is coming off a bye, which lets his leg heal so he can perform to the best of his abilities.
“Cincinnati is coming off a bye, which means Burrow’s calf just got an extra week to heal. The Bengals have been pretty strong over the past two years when they’re coming out of a bye. Not only are they 2-0, but they’ve scored 37 and 32 points in those two wins,” says CBS sports.
