Cincinnati Bengals vs New England Patriots Predictions 12/24/2022
New England is 6-4 in its last 10 matches. From the end of October to the beginning of November, the team went on a 3-game winning run.
Since then, the Patriots lost three of their last four matches, continuing their downward trend. They won 27-13 in Arizona two weeks ago before losing last Sunday in one of the most bizarre finishes in NFL history.
Jakobi Meyers attempted to lateral the ball to QB Mac Jones as time wound down in the Patriots’ game against the Raiders, but Chandler Jones intercepted it and returned it for a score.
In his most recent game against Las Vegas, Jones completed just 13 of his 31 passes for 112 yards.
The strongest offensive performer was running back Rhamondre Stevenson, who had 19 carries for 172 yards and a score versus Las Vegas. He is gaining nine yards per rush, and he plans to have a strong performance on Saturday.
With a game average of 319.5 yards, the Patriots are towards the bottom of the NFL in offense. They are up against the 16th-ranked Bengals’ defense, which allows 335.7 yards per game.
- The total stayed UNDER in 5 of New England’s last 7 matches.
- The total went OVER in 4 of New England’s last 5 matches against Cincinnati.
- The total remained UNDER in 4 of New England’s last 5 matches at home.
Cincinnati Bengals vs New England Patriots. The NFL pick for this game is the Cincinnati Bengals.
Since the trends of these two teams are polar opposites, it will be exceedingly hard for New England to move over last week’s defeat emotionally.
In their previous nine attempts, the Patriots only twice successfully covered the spread as the underdog. They are going up against a Cincinnati club that will be feeling quite different going into this game after the Bengals overcame a 17-point deficit to defeat Tampa Bay.
They now won against the spread in six straight contests and are beginning to resemble the group that nearly won the Super Bowl a year ago.
Burrow and company are a solid squad to bet on Saturday since they covered the spread in six of their previous seven away games. The Bengals will win predicted at 24-21.
