vs
The 7-3-1 Cincinnati Bengals will look to maintain their grasp on first place in the AFC North in their matchup with the 2-9 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Cincy is 4-1 SU in their last five, solidly covering in a pair of road wins over New Orleans and Houston in their last two outings. The Bengals defense has returned to early season form, giving up just a combined 23 points in their last two after allowing 29.5 points per game in their previous six.
The Bucs are 1-6 SU in their last seven, 3-4 ATS, while managing to score more than 17 points just once during that stretch. It has been a particularly tough season on home turf for T-Bay, where they have failed to produce a SU or ATS win in five games this season. But the Bucs are 6-0 SU in their last six against Cincy, 4-1-1 ATS.
