Expert Betting Strategies for Sunday Night Football: Bengals vs. Giants

The final game of the Week 6 Sunday slate features Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals squaring off against Daniel Jones and the New York Giants. The Bengals come into this matchup after a narrow overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens, where kicker Evan McPherson missed a 53-yard attempt that would have sealed the win. On the other hand, the Giants pulled off an impressive upset against the Seahawks in Week 5, overcoming an eight-point deficit thanks to solid performances from Jones and rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr., who stepped in for the injured Devin Singletary.

The betting line for this game opened with the Bengals favored by 3.5 points, and it has remained unchanged as kickoff approaches. The total for the game is set at 46.5 points.

Joe Fortenbaugh’s Pick
Bengals -3.5 over Giants

The look-ahead line for this game was Bengals -5.5, making this matchup a great opportunity to back Cincinnati at a more favorable price. After the Bengals racked up 520 yards and 38 points against Baltimore’s defense, I’ve adjusted my evaluation of Cincinnati positively. Although the Bengals currently stand at 1-4, they’ve lost four games by just one score, totaling a mere 15 points. This is an excellent buy-low opportunity for the Bengals, who are facing a Giants team with a dismal 1-14 record in prime-time games with Daniel Jones as their quarterback.
