Bengals vs. Giants prediction: Odds, expert picks, QB matchup, injury update, betting trends, and stats

The Cincinnati Bengals will play the New York Giants this Sunday at 8:20 PM ET. Both teams are looking to work their way back into the playoff race, but both are currently sub .500. The Bengals are coming off a tough overtime loss to the Ravens, and a bounce back against the Giants would bring them to 2-4 on the season.

The Bengals are led by quarterback Joe Burrow, who has rejuvenated his connection with star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase. In Chase’s last three games, he has averaged 132 yards and scored five touchdowns.

Under Daniel Jones, the Giants have had moments of brilliance and have also shown signs of a sub .500 team. Their win over the Seattle Seahawks was impressive. However, their loss to the Commanders was embarrassing. They were the first team to score three touchdowns and not give up a single touchdown and still lose the game.

The Bengals are favored by 3.5 points on the spread and -185 on the moneyline.

Historically, the Bengals have had the upper hand against the Giants, winning four of their last five meetings. The Giants will look to reverse that trend at home, where they have often found success despite their recent struggles.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets

Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) leans towards Bengals -3.5:
Thomas: “This might be the biggest fish bet on the board. Neither team has been super impressive, yet the Giants are at home, and the Bengals are 1-4. Why would the spread be nearly four points for a team that has yet to win a game? It sounds too good to be true to be on the Giants. I like the Bengals to continue to get healthy and use their weapons to their benefit.”
