Bengals vs. Eagles Odds
Bengals vs. Eagles Preview
Joe Burrow’s injuries have haunted the Bengals in the past, and knowing that, Zac Taylor has to prepare his backup QBs for this year. His job is on the line here, because if the Bengals don’t do anything notable, he’s probably out of the picture.
Therefore, Jake Browning and Desmond Ridder will have their hands full, and we also believe that the 6th-round running back Tahj Brooks could be exploited heavily in this event.
On the other hand, the champions drafted plenty of defenders. Jihaad Campbell was 31st overall, but we still believe he might be on the field in a few snaps. Five of Philly’s first picks were spent on defenders, and they all should play.
AJ Dillon is No.3 on the running back depth chart. After injuring his neck early in 2024, he missed the whole season. The Eagles grabbed him, and he is now eager to get some snaps. Therefore, the former Packer should have a significant number of snaps.
Bengals vs. Eagles Head to Head
The Bengals lead the series 9-4, with two events ending in a tie. The most recent game was last year in late October when Philly won on the road, 37-17.
Bengals vs. Eagles Predictions
Philly will have a much better team on the field, and we expect them to win this one. Also, we expect Dillon to have at least 80 rushing yards.
- Free NFL pick: Eagles win -120
