Jaguars vs. Bengals Odds
Game Preview
Beating the Panthers at home isn’t a big deal, with the franchise from North Carolina being arguably the worst team in the league, but it sure brought smiles to Jaguars fans’ faces. They wanted to start the campaign with a win, and so they did.
Fantastic running back, Travis Etienne Jr., had 143 rushing yards, of which one ended up being 71 yards long. LB Foyesade Oluokun had 10 tackles, 6 by himself, and one interception. He was dominating the defense and was the best Jaguar on the field.
As for the Bengals, they survived a scare in Cleveland, winning 17-16 in what was a classic AFC North battle. Surprisingly, the defense did a wonderful job, preventing the Browns from reaching the field-goal zone in the end, thus securing the win.
Believe it or not, the Bengals offense had 141 yards from scrimmage, something unseen with Burrow on the field. Cinci had only 11 first downs. Burrow was sacked three times for 18 yards, yet luckily, his teammates from defense saved the day.
Jaguars vs. Bengals Head to Head
The all-time series is on the Jags side, 13-12 in wins after 25 meetings.
Jaguars vs. Bengals Predictions
The Bengals were near terrible on the offensive side, but against the Browns, pretty much all the teams will have problems. They now have far weaker rivals coming up, and they play at home, so it’s reasonable to bet on the Burrow and the guys to win this event.
