The Washington Commanders pulled off an ugly win over the New York Giants in Week 2. The Commanders did not score a touchdown, allowed three touchdowns, and still won the game 21-18.<\/p>\n

This season has belonged to the underdog. Teams as underdogs of 6+ points are 8-0 ATS through two weeks.<\/p>\n

Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels took a lot of unnecessary hits against the Giants. That cannot happen if he wants to play all 17 games. If Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson wreaks havoc like he did in Week 2, it could be a long night for Daniels.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati outplayed the Chiefs for 59 minutes on Sunday. However, a crucial pass interference penalty against the Bengals’ defense kept the drive alive for Patrick Mahomes, leading to a game-winning field goal by Harrison Butker.<\/p>\n

The Bengals should be getting much-needed help on offense with the return of wide receiver Tee Higgins<\/a>, who missed the first two games with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

The Bengals are without a doubt the better team. If the offense doesn’t stall in the red zone and the defense plays like they did in Kansas City, Cincinnati should win by double digits.<\/p>\n

Pick: Bengals -7.5<\/strong><\/p>\n
