The Bengals are favored by more than a touchdown on Monday Night Football.
The Cincinnati Bengals have opened yet another season with an 0-2 record after being defeated in a shocking upset at home against the New England Patriots in Week 1 and losing to the Kansas City Chiefs on the road by one point in Week 2.
Now, the Bengals are entering into must-win mode already in Week 3 when they host the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football, and, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, they’re favored to win by more than a touchdown.
The 0-2 Bengals are favored by 7.5 points at home on Monday night against the 1-1 Commanders. The Bengals, who have Super Bowl aspirations, have their backs up against the wall. The goal is to win the AFC North, but with an 0-2 record heading into Week 3, another loss could be a death blow.
The Commanders, helmed by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, have the sixth most rushing yards so far this season. The recipe to beat the Bengals is going to be to run the ball and hope the Bengals depleted defensive front can’t stop them.
Obviously, the folks in Vegas believe in Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals offense more than they do Daniels and the Commander’s rushing attack on Monday Night Football in Week 3.
