New York Jets vs Cincinnati Bengals Prediction, Odds and Picks for Sunday, 10/26/25

The Bengals’ season looked like it was going down the drain after losing 4 straight games since a 2-0 start. However, Cincinnati held off Pittsburgh last Thursday night, 33-31 as 5.5-point home underdogs to improve to 3-4. QB Joe Flacco picked up his first win as a starter with the Bengals by throwing for 342 yards and 3 touchdowns, while WR Ja’Marr Chase hauled in 16 catches for 161 yards and a touchdown.

The 0-7 Jets head to Cincinnati looking to avoid another embarrassing offensive effort. New York has scored a total of 17 points in the last 2 losses to Denver and Carolina, as the Jets have not reached the end zone since Week 5 against Dallas. Head coach Aaron Glenn is withholding his choice of starting quarterback on Sunday after pulling Justin Fields for veteran Tyrod Taylor in last week’s 13-6 defeat to Carolina.

The Bengals are a favorite for the first time since Week 2 against Jacksonville before Joe Burrow suffered his season-long injury. Cincinnati failed to cover in a Week 1 win as a road favorite at Cleveland, then rallied late against the Jaguars to cash as a 3.5-point favorite in Week 2. The Jets are 3-4 against the spread this season, but are 2-1 ATS as an underdog of 6 points or more. In the lone game started by Taylor at Tampa Bay in Week 3, the Jets lost in the final seconds, 29-27 as 6.5-point underdogs.

Cincinnati has covered in both games with Flacco starting, but the Bengals were also a 15-point ‘dog at Green Bay and a 5.5-point ‘dog to Pittsburgh. This season, Flacco is 4-2 ATS as a starting QB with the Browns and Bengals, but this will be the first time he is listed in the favorite role. Even though the Jets’ quarterback situation is in flux, the Bengals still allow the 2nd-most yards per game in the NFL.
