Eagles Betting News

Saquon Barkley will take to the field on Sunday aiming to repeat his spectacular 176-yard performance from a week ago. He also scored a touchdown against his former squad, making the Giants rue the day they decided not to pay him.

Now healthy, the Eagles offense run roughshod over the Giants and Browns across the last two weeks. Last week’s contest represented a breakout game for the Eagles passing attack, as Jalen Hurts has struggled for much of the year without his top-two weapons. He’s thrown for just 1,308 yards with seven touchdowns and four interceptions so far.

That being said, AJ Brown remains one of the most dominant receivers in the NFL. He’s racked up catches for 205 yards and two touchdowns since returning to the field in Week 6. Brown should have a field day against a Bengals defense that sits in the bottom-12 in both PFF pass-rushing and coverage grades.

Vic Fangio’s defense has run hot and cold this season. On one hand, the Eagles have allowed just 19.2 points (6th), 304 yards (9th) and a 31.94 third-down conversion percentage (6th). On the other hand, they’ve surrendered 4.7 yards per rush and are 20th in EPA per play.

Keep in mind, the Eagles are just 3-10 against the spread in their last 13 games. However, they are 4-2 in their last six games versus bottom 10 scoring defenses.

Bengals Betting News

Cincinnati’s defense will be the main area of concern on Sunday. Lou Anarumo’s defense sits fourth in yards per pass allowed (6.4), but just a middling 24th in total defensive expected points added. Most concerningly, the Bengals have allowed a league-high 49.2 rushing success rate. Cincy will be hard-pressed to stop an Eagles rushing attack that churns out the second most yardage on the ground per game (166.7).

Contrary to popular belief, Joe Burrow has been spectacular this season. The former first-overall pick has thrown for 1,759 yards, 14 touchdowns and just two interceptions while leading the Bengals to the sixth-ranked offense in the league by EPA per play. Burrow himself ranks fourth in the NFL in adjusted EPA per play and dropback success rate. Since Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins returned to the field, Joey B has been slinging the pigskin.

The betting trends favor the Bengals here as Burrow and company are 11-1 SU in their last 12 games against NFC opponents.

Philadelphia Eagles vs Cincinnati Bengals Prediction

Both the Eagles and Bengals offenses are flying high over the last few weeks. Expect that to continue against two middling defenses on Sunday afternoon. Back the over 47.5 in an Eagles vs Bengals game where points will be plentiful.

• Eagles vs Bengals Prediction: Over 47.5 points (-115)

The Philadelphia Eagles will face off against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8 of the NFL season on October 27th. Both teams are coming off disappointing performances in Week 7, with the Eagles falling to the New York Giants and the Bengals tying with the Cleveland Browns.

The Eagles, who currently have a record of 2-4-1, are looking to bounce back and get back on track in the NFC East division. Quarterback Carson Wentz has been struggling this season, leading the league in interceptions with 10. However, he has shown flashes of brilliance and has the potential to turn things around.

On the other hand, the Bengals, who have a record of 1-4-1, have been led by rookie quarterback Joe Burrow. Burrow has shown promise in his first season in the NFL, throwing for over 1,600 yards and six touchdowns. The Bengals offense has been solid, but their defense has struggled, allowing an average of 27 points per game.

In terms of predictions, this game could go either way. The Eagles are favored to win by a slim margin, but the Bengals have shown that they can compete with some of the best teams in the league. It will likely come down to which team can make fewer mistakes and capitalize on their opportunities.

As for picks, it may be wise to take the Eagles to win straight up, but the Bengals could cover the spread if they play to their full potential. The over/under for this game is set at 46 points, and it could go either way depending on how well each team’s offense performs.

Overall, this matchup between the Eagles and Bengals is sure to be an exciting one. Both teams have something to prove and will be looking to come out on top. It will be interesting to see how it all unfolds on October 27th.
