Cincinnati Bengals NFL Week 13 Betting Lines
What else can one say about the Cincinnati Bengals to this point of the NFL betting season? I think it’s best summed up of the live action video of Joe Burrow following the brutal loss to the Chargers last Sunday night. He simply looked like a defeated man wandering around shaking hands with wide eyes. I mean, what else does the dude have to do to lead this team to wins on a consistent basis? The guy has thrown for 1,269 yards and 14:2 TD/INT ratio over the last month. The Bengals record during that stretch, 1-3 straight up and 2-2 against the NFL spread with the over cashing in each time pushing it to 8-3 on the year. I’d simply hate to be Evan McPherson right about now. The disgust on special teams coach Darrin Simmons’ face was tangible following his kicker’s second miss of the game that would’ve given the ‘Natti the lead with fewer than two minutes remaining. The Bengals will have six games remaining on the docket when it returns from its Week 12 bye with the first coming against the current AFC North leading Pittsburgh Steelers. After that, they got three straight against losers that include the Cowboys, Titans, and Browns before closing it out against the Broncos and Steelers. A path is there to get to the playoffs. It remains to be seen if Zac Taylor can successfully guide the team on it.
Now three games short of being a .500 team and 6-5 ATS, the Bengals odds of winning the Super Bowl swelled to 150-1 from 45-1, while their odds of taking down the AFC jumped to 65-1 from 20-1. By falling in gut-wrenching fashion to the Bolts, Cincinnati’s odds of winning the AFC North swelled to +8000 from +5000, while their adjusted in-season win total odds shortened up to 7.5 from 8.5 with heavier vig on the over after originally hitting the board 10.5. Man has this team underperformed! Initially a heavy -250 favorite to punch a ticket to the playoffs, the Bengals odds of doing so gained more value with the “Yes” up to +350 from +135 and the “No” swelling to -500 from -155. For reference, the “No” paid out $200 on a $100 investment before the season kicked off.

Customers betting on the NFL with cryptocurrency should know Cincy will take to its home turf with double revenge after Pittsburgh swept the season rivalry a season ago moving the Bengals to 4-6 SU and 4-5-1 ATS in the last 10 overall meetings. The total split with 41.2 points scored on average. Cincy has also dropped two straight to Pittsburgh on its home turf moving it to a pathetic 2-8 SU and 3-6-1 ATS the last 10 times it hosted the rivalry.
Cincinnati Bengals Week 12 Recap
The Cincinnati Bengals suffered another heartbreaking loss in Week 11 betting, falling 34-27 to the Los Angeles Chargers after erasing a 21-point second-half deficit. The Bengals, now 4-7 SU and 6-5 against the NFL spread, have dropped five games this season by seven points or fewer, continuing a pattern of near misses. Joe Burrow led a spirited comeback, throwing for 356 yards and three touchdowns, including two to Ja’Marr Chase, who recorded seven catches for 75 yards. Tee Higgins made a strong return from injury with nine receptions for 148 yards and a touchdown, including a 42-yard score on a fourth-down play. Burrow's 17-yard TD pass to Chase tied the game at 27 early in the fourth quarter, capping a 21-0 run over 13 minutes. The Bengals' defense faltered late, allowing a four-play, 84-yard Chargers drive that ended with J.K. Dobbins' 29-yard game-winning touchdown run. Cincinnati’s special teams also struggled, as Evan McPherson missed two critical fourth-quarter field goals from 48 and 51 yards, which could have given the Bengals the lead. Despite Burrow’s heroics, including 245 yards in the second half alone, Cincinnati’s offense couldn’t capitalize on key opportunities. Injuries to CB DJ Turner II and continued absences on the offensive line added to the Bengals' challenges in a game where their resilience came up just short again.
