AMEDEUS NFL NON-CONFERENCE TOTAL OF THE MONTH
(NFL) Commanders (WAS) vs. Bengals (CIN),
Total: 46.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
The Commanders are coming into this game with a 1-1 record this season and they have seen 1 high scoring game as well 1 lower scoring game. They lost their 1st game of the season on the road against the Buccaneers 37-20, but they followed that up at home with a 21-18 win over the Giants. They did not score a touchdown in that win over the Giants, but Daniels was much better in the passing game as he was very accurate and had over 200 passing yards. They have also been very good in the run game this season between both Daniels and Robinson Jr. Dan Quinn had a great year as DC for the Cowboys last season and his focus will be on fixing this defense this year, but he does not have the quality pieces that he had in Dallas so this defense is going to continue to struggle against better offenses. They are going up against a Bengals team that is 0-2 this season and they are going to be hungry to get their 1st win of the season here. They lost a bad game in week 1 to the Patriots 16-10, but they looked a lot better in their loss last week, losing a very close game to the Chiefs 26-25 in a game that went down to the wire. The offense was much better as they scored 25 points on the road against a very good Chiefs defense that has really been the backbone of that team over the last year. The Bengals still struggled to run the ball as they do not have a strong run game this season, but Joe Burrow was much better in the passing game and he will be able to carve open this Commanders secondary which has not been very good. The Bengals are going to find their offense in this game and score points on this awful defense, but they have also struggled to stop the run themselves and they are going to get a lot of that with the Commanders offense. The Commanders will find ways to score with their strong run game and that is going to push Joe Burrow and the Bengals to do more on offense as they cannot lose this game to one of the weaker teams in the league and start the season 0-3. Between these two sides, there will be enough points in this game to push it over the total.
