Bengals vs. Jets odds
Spread: Bengals -6 (-110)
Point total: 45
Moneyline: Bengals -245, Jets +205
Our picks, best bets
Pick against the spread: Bengals -6
The Bengals are 0-2 against the spread this season while the Jets are 1-1 ATS after their big comeback win over the Browns in Week 2. If we expand into last season, the Bengals have a solid history ATS as they’ve covered the spread in eight of their last 10 games overall, including five of their last six games on the road. The Jets haven’t fared as well, going just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games at home. Take the Bengals to win and cover in this one.
Over/under: Under 45 (-110)
The under has hit in three of the four games these teams have played overall this season, with the Jets getting the only over hit with the win over the Browns in Week 2. The Bengals have stayed under in their last seven games straight dating back into last season, and although the over has traditionally hit more often than not in the series between these two, I think this one stays under as the Jets are the only ones to have scored more than 20 in a game this season.
Player prop: Joe Burrow over 265.5 passing yards (-125)
Burrow had a big game in Week 1, throwing 33-for-53 for 338 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to the Steelers. He finished with 199 yards in Week 2 against the Cowboys, but he’ll have a solid matchup against the Jets who have allowed an average of 216 passing yards per game this season. With Tee Higgins back in the lineup, Burrow will have plenty of options to throw to between he, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tyler Boyd at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, and with Cincy favored to get the SU win, expect Burrow to have a big game in the air.
