T.M. Selection: BENGALS - ATS

1) I like the Bengals to get the solid win in this game against the Commanders on Monday, September 23rd. The line looks like a trap line to take road team catching a full TD as an underdog and I am not falling for it!

2) Washington is 1-1 this season but the Commanders have played the Giants and Buccaneers. The win was over the Giants and Washington did not even score a TD in that game. Cincinnati did lose to the Patriots in Week 1 but New England does have a tough defense. The Bengals then very nearly upset the Chiefs at Kansas City last week.

3) With Burrow getting going finally at QB last week for the Bengals I look for a big game from him here. Cincinnati is at home and desperate after their 0-2 start to the season. Out of 32 NFL teams only Jacksonville and Tennessee also remain winless. The odds favor the Bengals finally notching that first win.

T.M. Prediction: 31-17 BENGALS

Line: -7
