The Bengals were able to roll up 38 points last time out against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the defense was awful again. Cincinnati lost 44-38 at home, and it has allowed 34 or more points in 3 straight games, and 4 of the past 5 outings. It’s great news for Over bettors, as the total has gone high in 5 straight outings.
The Cowboys have won and covered the past 2 games to keep their flickering playoff hopes alive. Dallas is averaging 30.5 points per game (PPG) on offense while allowing 23.0 PPG on defense. The Over has cashed in 3 in a row for the Cowboys, too.
if you can’t back the COWBOYS +5.5 (-110) straight up, they’re catching a healthy amount of points in this prime-time matchup in Big D.
The Bengals -5.5 (-110) have lost 3 in a row, and they have lost outright in the past 2 instances as a favorite. Cincinnati is also 1-3 SU and 2-2 ATS in 4 prime-time matchups so far this season.
OVER 49.5 (-115) is a high number, but it’s a strong play.
The Over has hit in 5 in a row for the Bengals, going for 27 or more points in 4 games in a row, while the defense has allowed 24 or more points in each of the 5 games, and 9 of the past 11 outings.
