This is a trap game! The Patriots opened as 8.5-point favorites, and then Ja’Marr Chase was suspended for the game. In addition, starting cornerback Cam Taylor-Brit needs Lisfranc surgery and will also be out. Joe Burrow is not expected to be ready for Sunday’s game, and Trey Hendrickson is probably out as well.
The Bengals’ Offense is not that bad, considering the injuries they have had. The Offense ranks 18th in scoring at 22.8 points per game. They are averaging 307.1 yards per game good for 23rd in the league. The Passing game is 14th at 225.
