PASS.
There is no value on the Bengals (-300) to beat the winless Jets Sunday.
BET BENGALS -6.5 (-105).
The Bengals found their offensive groove, with Flacco having an immediate impact and connection with Chase and WR Tee Higgins, who had 6 receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown last week. They were also able to get their run game going for the first time this season, which they should be able to continue against the Jets. They have covered the spread in back-to-back weeks and in 2 of their 3 home games.
The Jets are dealing with numerous injuries, including Gardner and Wilson, which will make their Week 8 matchup much more difficult. They have failed to cover the spread in 3 of their last 4 games.
BET UNDER 44.5 (-110).
While the Bengals should be expected to take control of this game offensively, the Jets will be a liability for the total. They have scored just 17 points combined over their last 2 games, with their quarterbacks having turnover issues and problems advancing the ball. The Jets have hit the Under in back-to-back weeks.
