NFL Week 2 Odds: Best Picks to Bet on Sunday's Schedule | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors
William Burgess Another team that got off to a disappointing start in Week 1 was the Bengals, who lost 24-3 to the Cleveland Browns. Like Buffalo, Cincinnati got an uncharacteristic performance by its star quarterback in the season opener.
Joe Burrow threw for only 82 yards while completing 14 of his 31 pass attempts. The Bengals' offense didn't commit any turnovers, but they compiled only 142 total yards while struggling mightily on third downs (2-for-15).
It would be quite surprising if Cincinnati doesn't come out and play much better in Week 2. It'll be home for the first time this season, and it has a winnable matchup against the AFC North rival Baltimore Ravens.
While the Ravens should be a solid team, the Bengals have something to come out and prove. A competitive game is likely to go in Cincinnati's favor by at least four points, making it worth betting on the Bengals to cover the spread.
