The current betting odds have the Bengals listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bengals have looked good in their games this season with their 5-2 record overall which has them right near the top of the AFC North. Meanwhile, the Falcons haven't looked great in their games this season with their 3-5 record overall which has them right in the middle of the NFC South. The Falcons are coming off a 16-10 loss to the Buccaneers in their last one and they have been really up and down all season. They just lost a divisional game to a team that didn't even complete a pass and Penix had one of the worst games of his career. The offense has looked a lot better with Penix playing this season, but he hasn't been consistent in every game and now the defense has been giving up a lot of points lately too. The Bengals are coming off a 43-36 win over the Titans in their last one and they didn't looked great either, but they still found a way to win the game and their offense still looked great too. The defense looked terrible against a Titans offense that has been one of the worst in the NFL, but that hasn't been the case all year for the Bengals defense. They have improved a lot this season and they still have tons of talent on offense to overpower a lot of their opponents. The Bengals still have the more reliable offense here with the better QB and their defense will be looking to play a lot better too, so look for them to take care of an inconsistent Falcons team at this neutral site. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bengals to cover the spread in this game.
