Eagles at Bengals
(NFL) Eagles (PHI) vs. Bengals (CIN),
Point Spread: -2.50 | -115.00 Bengals (CIN) (Home)
Result: Loss
What to make of these two sides that each enter this weekend off of games vs. the lowly Giants and Browns? Extenuating circumstances last week for the Eagles, who faced a struggling Giants side in Saquon Barkley's return game to Met life Stadium. It all set up very nicely for Philly in the 28-3 romp, while Saquon galloping for 176 YR. Much different this week for the Birds, as the Bengals have started to stir with back-to-back wins (albeit over the same Giants, and then the Browns). We have seen Cincy hit stride at midseason more than once in recent years and with a healthy Joe Burrow the arrow is pointing upwards in the Jungle. Philly's tackling problems, a concern for WIP callers earlier in the season, haven't necessarily abated, aides by limited opposition in recent weeks. In the nonsensical category, the road team is 7-0 vs. the line thus far in Bengals games this season. That sort of random trend isn't likely to endure much longer. Play Bengals
