Bengals vs. Lions betting preview
Odds: Lions -10.5, over/under 49.5
Detroit rebounded from a disjointed loss to the Packers in Week 1 to outscore its opponents 124-61 over a three-game winning streak. Jared Goff ranks second among quarterbacks with a 73.8 completion percentage and has a 9-2 TD-INT ratio. The defense has done a better job of defending the rush than they have the pass, but that may not be a problem against a Bengals air game that hasn’t been the same since Joe Burrow sustained a season-ending foot injury.
Jake Browning helped the Bengals advance to 2-0 on the season with a mistake-laden victory against the Jaguars in Week 2, but enters Week 5 with a 3-5 TD-INT ratio and has been sacked seven times. Cincinnati has a league-low 50.0 rushing yards per game and Chase Brown has scored just one touchdown through four games. Plus, the defense has given up the third-most total yards per game (397.8), which could spell trouble going up against a stealthy Lions offense.
