Falcons vs. Bengals Prediction: Keep Backing Atlanta With Points

The Cincinnati Bengals came back to beat the New Orleans Saints last week, and now get to host the Atlanta Falcons. The Dirty Birds have been a delight to the betting community, going undefeated against the spread this season. They just knocked off the San Francisco 49ers. Can they do the same on the road against the Bengals? 

This hasn’t been the season Cinicinnati envisioned, but this is a chance to get on a nice run. Will they get the job done?

Falcons vs. Bengals Best Bet and Prediction

Atlanta is the best team in the league against the spread at 6-0, and I’m backing them to be 7-0 after this week. 

Four of Cincinnati’s six games this season have been decided by four points or less. The Bengals have either struggled creating separation from teams or have flat out lost this season. The offense isn’t as explosive as it was last year and the offensive line is still causing issues. 

The Bengals are 29th in the league in yards per carry at 3.5. They can’t run the ball effectively to set up play action and have to rely on simple dropbacks – which put Burrow at risk of a sack. 

On the flip side, the Falcons are one of the best rushing teams in the league. They are top 10 in yards per carry and 3rd in rushing yards per game. The Bengals have struggled defending the run, ranking 23rd in opponent yards per carry. 

If Atlanta can establish the run early and get into their offense, I don’t see them losing by a full touchdown.
