10* NFL Game of the Week
(NFL) Cincinnati vs. New Orleans,
Point Spread: 3.00 | -106.00 New Orleans (Home)
Result: Loss
Love the Saints here. These are not the same Bengals as we saw last year, and they can't get the run game going, now Tee Higgins is out which leaves them very one dimensional. There is a lot of confusion as the Bengals have had a 180 switch since last year. Cincy was dominant on offense a year ago, but this year, not so much. They rank second to last in average yards per play at 4.8 yards. The rushing attack has been a struggle, too. The offensive line has not been able to open holes for the running back room that consists of Joe Mixon and Samaje Perine. They rank 26th in the NFL in rush yards. The Saints defense is very good and I expect them to cause Burrows fits all day. They come off a prime time game against their division rival and now face the Saints. Dalton has filled in well for Winston and now he gets to face his former team for some extra motivation. The public is pounding the Bengals but I think the Saints win this game outright as another home dog we like.
