Even though the Bengals’ loss to the Steelers was disappointing, they have a chance to bounce back this week against the Jaguars at Paycor Stadium.
FanDuel Sportsbook officially lists the Bengals as 2.5-point favorites over Jacksonville, though they’ll have to figure some things out with a red-hot Trevor Lawrence-led offense coming to town.
The Jags are now 2-1 on the season after a dominant win over the New England Patriots this afternoon. Jacksonville’s defense turned over Drake Maye three times and kept New England’s offense out of the end zone.
The Bengals defense will have their hands full next Sunday looking to slow down a talented offensive unit led by head coach Liam Coen and Lawrence.
These two teams met last season for Cincinnati’s opener when Burrow went down with a foot injury that sidelined him for nine games.
Despite an injury to Burrow, the Bengals found a way to beat the Jags last season with Jake Browning leading the way. Can they find a way to make it two years in a row?
