Will the Jacksonville Jaguars give the Cincinnati Bengals more offensive struggles when the two teams meet up on Sunday at 1PM ET?

According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, Jacksonville is favored at home in this game, as the Jaguars are getting odds of -5.5 points against the Bengals. The over/under total for the contest has been set at 39 points. Cincinnati has won four straight meetings in this series, and the two are 3-1-2 with the over in their last six encounters. The public betting in this one has Jacksonville getting 60 percent of the wagers at home. Sunday’s games takes place from EverBank Field in Jacksonville, Florida. The contest will air live on CBS.

Cincinnati is coming off a 24-23 win at home over Indianapolis last week to win its third in four. The Bengals are now 3-4 on the season and 4-3 with the under. Cincinnati hasn’t had much offensive flow this season, averaging just 17.4 points and 307.4 yards per game. Their run game is among the worst in the league, posting just 78.4 yards per game. Rookie Joe Mixon is emerging as the feature back. He has 253 yards and a score this year. Andy Dalton has thrown for 1,603 yards in 2017, but has eight interceptions and has been sacked 22 times to go with his 11 touchdowns. A.J. Green continues to be a force, catching 38 passes for 572 yards and four touchdowns. Defensively, Cincinnati is holding up. The Bengals are allowing just 19.3 points and 313.1 yards per contest. Cincy has 22 sacks as a defense with Geno Atkins leading the way with five.

The Jaguars are coming off their bye week, but they earned a 27-0 win at Indy prior to that. The Jags are 4-3 on the season as well, as they have yet to win back-to-back games. When it comes to the total, Jacksonville is 4-3 with the over, but 3-0 with the over at home. The Jags are averaging 26.1 points and 368.7 yards per game. They have one of the best rushing attacks in the league thanks to rookie Leonard Fournette, who has 596 yards and six touchdowns. He missed the last game due to injury but is expected to play on Sunday. Blake Bortles has thrown for 1,398 yards and nine touchdowns, but also has five interceptions. Marqise Lee is the leading receiver with 24 catches for 363 yards. Defensively, Jacksonville is holding opponents to just 15.7 points and 329.1 yards per game. Calais Campbell has been a monster in the pass rush, racking up 10 sacks. Yannick Ngakoue has added 6.5. The Jags have 33 sacks as a team this season.

Bet on Bengals vs. Jaguars

I think both defenses are going to have a field day here. Cincinnati may not be good on offense but that defense hasn’t lost a step. Jacksonville is a pass-rushing machine and is likely to make it a long day for Andy Dalton. While each team has a game-breaker in Fournette and Green, I don’t see either being able to take over the game enough for the total to go over.
