Washington Commanders vs. Cincinnati Bengals Game Preview – Monday, September 23, 2024

Commanders vs Bengals Preview: The Washington Commanders, coming off a 1-1 start, face off against the Cincinnati Bengals, who are looking to avoid an 0-3 hole in the season. This Monday Night Football game promises intrigue as both teams seek to establish their identity in the early season.

Betting Odds:

  • Spread: Bengals -7.5
  • Over/Under: 47.5
  • Moneyline: Commanders +280, Bengals -350

Injury Updates:

  • Washington Commanders:
    • Clelin Ferrell (DE) is out with a knee injury, which might affect the defensive line rotation.
    • Emmanuel Forbes (CB) is questionable with a thumb injury, potentially impacting the secondary’s performance.
  • Cincinnati Bengals:
    • Ja’Marr Chase was questionable earlier but there’s sentiment suggesting he might return, though potentially not at full workload due to his previous status.
    • Tee Higgins Is expected to play but is dealing with a hamstring issue, which could limit his involvement or affect his performance if he plays.

Game Analysis:

  • Commanders’ Perspective: Under new management with Jayden Daniels at QB, the Commanders are looking to build on their offensive efficiency, ranking high in EPA/play and success rate. However, their road performance and the absence of Ferrell could put pressure on a young defense.
  • Bengals’ Perspective: Despite their 0-2 start, the Bengals showed signs of life in their loss against the Chiefs, with Joe Burrow attempting to rally the team. The return of key offensive players, even if not at 100%, could significantly boost their morale and on-field execution.
  • Key Matchups:
    • Commanders’ Offense vs. Bengals’ Defense: Can the Bengals’ defense, possibly missing key pieces, contain the Commanders’ dynamic run game and the emerging Daniels?
    • Bengals’ Offense vs. Commanders’ Defense: With Chase’s status uncertain and Higgins potentially limited, how will the Bengals’ passing game adapt against a Commanders defense that might be without Forbes?

Commanders vs Bengals preview Conclusion: This game could go either way, with the Bengals favored but not without their own set of challenges, particularly on the injury front. The Commanders, on an emotional high with their new quarterback, might just pull off an upset if they can keep the game low-scoring and capitalize on special teams or turnovers. For fans and bettors, this matchup offers a mix of strategic play and the unpredictability of early-season form, making it a must-watch for Monday Night Football.

NFL free bet | Vikings vs Bengals prediction | December 16

ASA’s FREE NFL play on UNDER 40.5 Minnesota Vikings at Cincinnati Bengals, Saturday 1PM ET

NFL free bet from ASA on Saturday, December 16th. The Bengals w/Jake Browning under center scoring-fest is about to come crashing back down to earth this week when he faces this Vikings defense. Minnesota just pitched a shutout in Las Vegas and has allowed 12 total points in the past two games. The Vikings defense has allowed 19 or less points in 7 of their last ten games. Minnesota ranks 10th in total yards per game allowed, 8th in yards per play allowed, 5th against the run and allows the 14th least passing yards per game. In their last three games the Vikes defense is giving up just 4.7 yards per play. Browning and the Bengals put up 34-points against the Colts and Jaguars in the past two weeks but neither of those two defenses are as good as the one they’ll face on Saturday. The Bengals defense has been atrocious this season but the Vikings with QB Mullins won’t be able to exploit that weakness. It won’t help that the Vikings will be without RB Mattison who is out here. In their last three games the Vikings are averaging just 4.5YPP and averaging 1-point scored for every 26 yards gained. The Bengals are allowing 6.5YPP on the season but have showed improvement in their last 3 games allowing just 5.5YPP. We would love to see this line go to 41 for a better number but will make a small wager or free NFL bet on Under 40.5.

Seahawks vs Bengals Prediction – Sunday, Oct 15th 2023

ASA free bet on: #257/258 OVER 45 Seattle Seahawks at Cincinnati Bengals, Sunday 1PM ET

You should check the weather before betting this Over, but if the wind isn’t as bad as they are predicting this O/U number will move up dramatically. We have an opportunity to buy low here on the Bengals offense that has underachieved this season prior to last week’s game against the Cardinals. This Cincinnati offense is essentially the same unit that has been top 9 in scoring for two straight seasons at over 25.7PPG. QB Burrows was injured early this season, but he looked much better last week against the Cards throwing for 317 yards with 3 TD’s to 1 INT. He was also willing to push the ball down field completing 8 of 12 passes of 10+ yards. The Seahawks pass defense allows opposing QB’s to complete 68.5% of their pass attempts (25th), give up 6.8 yards per pass attempt (21st) and 280 passing yards per game which is 30th. Those numbers come despite facing Carolina and the Giants who have 2 of the three worst offenses in terms of DVOA in the league. In their other two games the Seahawks allowed the Rams/Stafford to throw for 334 yards and the Lions/Goff to complete 28/35 passes for 323 yards. Offensively we expect the Seahawks to have success against this Bengals defense and put up plenty of points on their own. Seattle is 13th in yards per rush at 4.4, the Bengals allow 5.3YPC (30th). Seattle averages 5.6YPP, Cincinnati gives up 5.9YPP (25th). The Hawks are averaging 27.8PPG on the year,6th most and face a Bengals D giving up 22.8PPG (20th). This game should be a back-and-forth affair with plenty of points by both teams.
