Cincinnati Bengals vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Prediction
The Bengals desperately need to win this game to keep any hopes of making the postseason alive.
It has been a tough season for Cincinnati as they have dealt with multiple injuries, none more significant than the injury to starting quarterback Joe Burrow.
Since Burrow has been injured, The team has yet to win a game.
The Bengals can even their record at 500 with a win tonight.
Jake Browning will be the starting quarterback, although he has had limited playing time.
The team will depend heavily on their playmakers, Joe Mixon, Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd.
For the Bengals to win, these players must step up and perform.
Additionally, the defense needs to play as well as it did last week.
The Bengals will have two starters returning to the defense tonight.
Jacksonville, on the other hand, has a chance to win the AFC this season.

Trevor Lawrence has a great group of wide receivers, including Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk, and Evan Engram.
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Jacksonville Jaguars Player Prop Pick
Speaking of Engram, I believe he will be the first player to score a touchdown tonight.
Despite not scoring a touchdown this season, he is one of the best tight ends in football and a big target in the red zone.
Engram has played in 573 snaps this season, which ranks third on the team.
Engram has consistently been on the field when the Jags have entered the red zone.
Engram is second on targets this year (82), only behind Christian Kirk (84).
If the Jags can get off to a hot start like we have seen in weeks past, there is a good chance Engram is the first player into the end zone.
Let’s stay hot on the first touchdown bets!
