Patriots vs Bengals: Who is Favored to Win?
Let's take a deeper look into the Patriots vs Bengals odds to see what the betting lines tell us about this matchup. On the widget below, you can use the dropdown to compare odds for the moneyline, spread, and total to find the best price across multiple sportsbooks.
Patriots Bengals Odds: Point Spread
Currently, the spread for the Patriots vs Bengals game sits between 8.5 and 9.5 on most Massachusetts betting apps. Oddsmakers aren't expecting this to be a particularly close game and this is actually the highest spread of all Week 1 NFL games.
If you want to bet on New England to cover the spread, FanDuel currently has the best line at +9.5. This means as long as the Pats lose by fewer than 10 points, your bet would win. On the flip side, if you want to bet against the Patriots, you would want to find a sportsbook offering the Bengals -8.5.
Patriots vs Bengals Odds: Moneyline
When looking at Patriots-Bengals moneyline, the "-" and "+" signs tell you who is the favorite and underdog, respectively. The higher the number, the wider the perceived disparity between the two teams.
Given this is the highest spread of the week, we shouldn't be surprised to see such lopsided moneyline odds for New England vs Cincinnati. With DraftKings Massachusetts setting the Patriots' moneyline odds at +350, New England is the biggest underdog for Week 1.
Patriots Bengals Odds: Over/Under
Currently, the Patriots vs Bengals over/under (or total) is 40.5 across most betting sites with DraftKings being the exception at 41. Betting on the over/under tasks you with deciding whether the combined points scored in the Patriots and Bengals will be more than (over) or less than (under) the given number. The spread for this game has dropped by more than two points in some cases from just a few weeks ago.
Regardless, there are only three games with lower projected totals on FanDuel Massachusetts, meaning the Pats Bengals game is largely being viewed as a lower-scoring affair. We can also use the spread and total to get an expected point total for each team. Using FanDuel, this means the expected score would be somewhere around 24.5-16.0 in favor of Cincy.
In addition to the Patriots vs Bengals odds for the spread, moneyline, and over/under, we also have the expected lineup, weather forecast, and location details for the Patriots-Bengals game.
Player Props for Patriots vs Bengals
Player props have exploded in popularity over the past few years as a preferred way for fans to get in on the action. Given we are still a week away from the start of the regular season, the options are currently limited to touchdown scorers and can only be found on DraftKings at this time. Once Week 1 is officially here, however, I'll add more of my favorite picks for Patriots vs Bengals player props.
- Andrei Iosivas anytime touchdown (+320) - Ja'Marr Chase still isn't practicing as he holds out for a new contract. Even if Chase suits up for Week 1, we shouldn't expect him to play a full complement of snaps, leaving Christian Gonzalez and Jonathan Jones to key in on Tee Higgins. Iosivas has been the starting slot WR for Cincy which would allow him to have a more favorable matchup.
