Atlanta Falcons vs Cincinnati Bengals
Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Atlanta Falcons vs Cincinnati Bengals is an inter-conference matchup: the NFC Falcons hosting the AFC Bengals. On paper this is about as lopsided as it gets: Cincinnati Bengals at 77% to Atlanta Falcons's 23%, spread CIN -4. The power-ranking gap backs it up (#22 vs #7), and the contender tiers agree.
Tactically, Atlanta Falcons will want to lean on strong line to attack Cincinnati Bengals, whose offensive line is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Cincinnati Bengals's cold-blooded QB could punish Atlanta Falcons if young QB goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, Raheem Morris and Zac Taylor, to script around exactly that battle.
Keep an eye on Michael Penix Jr. (QB) and Joe Burrow (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Falcons get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
