NFL Free Pick: Take Cincinnati. According to latest NFL trends, the Bengals are 4-0 against the spread in their last four games after accumulating more than 250 yards passing in their previous contest. They're also 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 games overall and 4-0 ATS in their last four games on fieldturf. The Lions have won two of their last three games but they've also been out-gained in all three of those contests, which isn't a good sign. Matthew Stafford hasn't thrown for over 265 yards in his past three games and could find it difficult to move the ball effectively against a very underrated Cincinnati defense. The Bengals suffered a scare last Sunday in Buffalo but they should be ready for this road test today.
