New York Jets

Cincinnati Bengals

New York is currently 32nd in passing yards, ninth in rushing yards, 27th in points scored, and 26th in points against. The Jets' offense has failed to score a touchdown in their last eight quarters of play. New York is still undecided about who will be quarterbacked for this game. Despite the defense struggling most of the season, they have only allowed 13 points in each of the last two losses. The offense not finding the end zone has been the big issue, and maybe the running game can change that.

Cincinnati is currently tied for 20th in passing yards, 32nd in rushing yards, 26th in points scored, and 31st in points against. Flacco has given this offense new life with his leadership and the team just ended a four-game losing streak, where the offense was inconsistent. Chase has been a big factor for the Bengals' offense lately and has put up double-digit reception numbers in the past two games. Also, Tee Higgins is another weapon that this offense has. The defense is still struggling, especially with missed tackles, but the efficient offense should be enough to get the win.

Best Bet: Bengals Spread

Cincy just had one of their best offensive games in a while, and it was against a good team. They want to build from this game right away and try to save their season. The Jets' offense continues to just kick field goals and not get many red zone drives. New York has the defense trending up, but it has struggled in road games.
