Why Bet on Cincinnati?

Outside of the fact that the Bengals are getting almost two touchdowns, there really isn’t any good reason to back the Bengals in this contest. Cincinnati remained winless by falling to Jacksonville 27-17 last weekend. The struggling AFC North residents were limited to 17 points for the second consecutive week and for the fourth time this season.

Why Bet On Los Angeles?

Despite being a nearly two-touchdown favorite, there are a handful of great reasons to back the Rams. First, L.A. averages almost 11 points per game more than Cincinnati while also giving up just over three fewer points per game defensively. Then, there’s the fact that Los Angeles is pretty desperate to pick up another win after snapping a three-game skid by smacking Atlanta senseless37-10 last weekend. Last but not least, there’s the fact that the Bengals have looked almost completely inept all season under first-time head coach Zac Taylor.

Rams vs Bengals Expert Analysis and Prediction

If you’re worried about the nearly two-touchdown spread in this Week 8 pairing, I just wouldn’t be overly concerned. The Rams are definitely going to be locked in on getting the win as they look to keep pace with both, San Francisco and Seattle in the suddenly loaded NFC West. The Rams are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games following an SU win and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall.

Cincinnati is ranked a pitiful 28th in scoring and 24th in points allowed and the Rams just beat Atlanta by 27 points. I love L.A.’s addition of superstar cornerback Jalen Ramsey and I’m expecting the Rams to put the Bengals away in this one to easily cover the chalk.
