Bears vs Bengals Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
CIN Bengals +2.5(-105)

Both the Chicago Bears and Cincinnati Bengals hope to get back on the winning track when they square off in Week 9 of the NFL season on Sunday afternoon in Cincinnati. The Bengals are coming off a disastrous loss to the previously winless Jets, but in general they are playing better than they were in the early stages of the season. Joe Flacco of all people has revitalized the offense after being acquired from Cleveland. Because Cincy’s offense is rolling, my Bears vs Bengals prediction is on the home side to cover. However, I would proceed with caution until Flacco’s status is confirmed (he is currently questionable because of a shoulder issue).

The Bears’ defense isn’t any good, so Flacco if he plays should be able to do some damage. Chicago is giving up the third-most yards per pass attempt at 7.8 and the third-most yards per rushing attempt at 5.3. It is #27 in rushing defense at 143.3 yards allowed per contest. On the other side of the ball, former #1 overall pick Caleb Williams is showing signs of life but still seemingly has a long way to go. He has not thrown a single touchdown pass over the past 2 games while getting picked off twice during this stretch. Give me the Bengals at home.

Bears vs Bengals prediction: Cincinnati Bengals +2.5 (-105) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

Ricky Dimon
Game Totals Pick
Over 50.5(-120)

This projects to be an absolute track meet which is nothing out of the ordinary for the Bengals. They are dead last in the NFL in total defense (407.9 yards per game allowed) and also last in scoring defense (31.6 ppg allowed). On the bright side for head coach Zac Taylor’s squad, its offense has been resurgent since the dog days of having Jake Browning under center in the immediate aftermath of Joe Burrow’s injury. Flacco has led his team to 33 and 38 points in the past 2 contests. That is part of the reason why my Bears vs Bengals pick is over 50.5.

The Bears should be able to contribute significantly to the total, as well. They find themselves in the top half of the league in both total offense and scoring offense not a typical sight for this franchise. Chicago has scored at least 25 points in 4 of its last 5 outings and has been held below the 20-point mark only once this season. Williams has gained confidence under new head coach Ben Johnson and he should be able to do plenty of damage against a defense that ranks #28 in the NFL with only 11 sacks. It would be in the Bears’ best interest to put up a ton of points, too, because their defense stinks against both the run and the pass.

Bears vs Bengals prediction: Over 50.5 (-120) available at time of publishing. Playable to 52.
