The Cincinnati Bengals and the Carolina Panthers will clash on Sunday afternoon.
The Bengals begin this contest with a 0-3 record. Since 1990, 162 teams have started the season 0-3. Only four of those teams made the postseason.
The Bengals will attempt to defy the odds this season, and will need to start today with a road win. Cincy feels they are much better than their record indicates, as they have lost all three of their games by one score.
Last week, they jumped out to a 7-0 lead, but their defense could not string together stops and slow down rookie Jayden Daniels.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Carolina Panthers Prediction
Former Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow leads the Bengals offense. Burrow has thrown for 746 yards, five touchdowns, and zero interceptions.
Veteran Zack Moss has scampered for 136 yards and two touchdowns.
Ja'Marr Chase has remained Burrow's favorite target, leading the team with 215 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
The Bengals defense ranks 27th in points allowed per game (26.7).
Carolina comes into the contest with a 1-2 record.
The Panthers took down the Las Vegas Raiders to earn their first victory of the season a week ago. The big story out of Carolina is that they have benched former No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young.
Veteran Andy Dalton takes over the offense, leaving Young's future up in the air. Dalton stepped in and played extremely well last week, throwing for 319 yards and three touchdowns.
Running back Chuba Hubbard leads the Panthers with 192 rushing yards.
Dionate Johnson has been the top target in the passing game, racking up 156 yards and one touchdown.
Carolina ranks last in points allowed per game (31.7).
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Carolina Panthers Betting Picks
We will ride with the road team today.
The Bengals could be the best 0-3 team in NFL history and I believe this team will turn things around and make a playoff run.
In a must-win spot, the Bengals will be sharp today and take advantage of the worst defense in football.
I expect some regression today after a dominating performance last week from the Panthers.
