The Cincinnati Bengals are going on the road again. This time, they will be taking on the Green Bay Packers.
The big news this week is the new Joe in town now that the Bengals traded for Joe Flacco from the Cleveland Browns, and he will be starting this Sunday over Jake Browning. Browning had a solid ending to last week’s game, but it was another turnover-riddled game that cost them a great defensive effort.
The Packers, meanwhile, have looked fairly good. They tied with the Dallas Cowboys 40-40 in Week 4 and then had a bye last week. Jordan Love has been efficient with the revolving door of skill position players at his disposal. Of course, Green Bay made headlines when they acquired Micah Parsons at the beginning of the season, so expect the offensive line to have to deal with him, as he has wrecked the Bengals’ game plan before.
Here is how to watch how it will all shake out:

Expert Predictions
- All eight of CBS Sports’ experts are taking Green Bay
- Only one of ESPN’s 11 experts is taking the Bengals
- According to NFL Pick Watch, which takes into account picks from across the web, the Bengals are receiving 2% of the picks
- Cincy Jungle Prediction: I’ll preface this, I can be talked into plenty of things, but I will not be talked into Joe Flacco as the Bengals quarterback. That being said, there will be some extra excitement from the team coming with a quarterback change. At least it will be a watchable game. It is still hard to project this team going on the road and coming away with the win quite yet. Packers win 34-24.
