The 6-0 (ATS) Falcons travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals hoping to get to 4-3 SU. Cincinnati, who is trying to get to the top of the AFC North, needs to start putting wins together in order to overtake the Ravens.

The Bengals are nearly 7-point favorites in this game, but can we find value on the prop market. Let’s do some digging.

Best Prop Bets For Falcons-Bengals

  • Ja’Marr Chase OVER 79.5 Receiving Yards (-115)
  • Joe Burrow OVER 2.5 Passing Touchdowns (+160)
  • Marcus Mariota OVER 34.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Ja’Marr Chase OVER 79.5 Receiving Yards (-115)

Chase has started to percolate over the last two games, catching 14 passes for 182 yards and two touchdowns. I’ll back him to carry this momentum over against the Falcons, who are 22nd in opponent yards per pass. On top of that, A.J. Terrell, one of the best corners in the game, has been dealing with a hamstring injury. If he’s not 100%, Chase has a clear advantage.

Joe Burrow OVER 2.5 Touchdowns (+160)

Burrow has only cleared this line twice this season, but let’s back him this week. Atlanta has the lowest sack percentage in the league, which means Burrow will actually have time to throw the ball. With that time, expect a couple big plays and even a score down the field. The Bengals have found a rhythm in their passing game, and I’ll trust it to keep going. 

Marcus Mariota OVER 34.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

Mariota has led the Falcons to three wins, but hasn’t done it because of his passing. He’s most dangerous running the ball and Atlanta is starting to recognize that. He’s cleared this line in his last two games and has 13 carries in the last two games. The Falcons need to put the ball in his hands to propel the running game.
