Tennessee Titans (1-6) @ Cincinnati Bengals (4-2)
Sunday, November 1, 1:00 PM ET
Would you believe me if I told you this was projected to be one of the most lopsided games of the entire week?
Yes, you likely would.
As a matter of fact, the Bengals are the biggest favorites of the week (-10.5) across the NFL, and for good reason.
After struggling to a 0-13 deficit at halftime against the Ravens this past week, the Bengals came out in the second half absolutely scorching hot, and put up 35 points on the Baltimore Ravens’ defense. Joe Burrow threw four touchdowns to four different receivers, the Cincinnati defense shut things down, and the Bengals have somewhat quietly been right in the mix near the top of the AFC all season.
They are now going to be facing off against a desperate Titans team, one that has been this close to a couple of wins in recent weeks. They did finally get their first win of the season two weeks ago against the Colts, but they’ve struggled closing and finishing games this season.
That’s bad news going up against this Bengals team.
I don’t think the Titans’ secondary matches up well against most passing attacks right now, but against the likes of Tee Higgins, Ja’Marr Chase, and Joe Burrow? This one feels over before it even gets started.
The Titans have played teams a lot closer than this spread would suggest, but the way the Bengals pounded the Ravens in the second half of their Week 7 matchup is going to linger in everyone’s minds.
Prediction: Bengals win 28-20
