Saints vs. Bengals Free Pick
Cincinnati, OH (TheSpread) – The Cincinnati Bengals are having a disastrious year but if they have any pride left at all, they’ll enjoy trying to play spoiler when they host the New Orleans Saints this Sunday at 1:00PM ET.
According to NFL Week 13 odds and oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com, the Saints are 6.5-point favorites over the Bengals on Sunday. The over/under total for this game is currently 45.5 points.
The Saints improved to 8-3 after they narrowly beat the Cowboys last Thursday on Thanksgiving. They failed to cover, however, and are now 5-6 against the spread according to latest NFL trends. They’re 4-1 on the road this year but have failed to cover in three of those five games.
The Bengals dropped to 2-9 after losing to the Jets on Thanksgiving night and are now 3-8 against the number. They’re 1-4 at home this season and have failed to cover in four of those five games at Paul Brown Stadium.
NFL Week 13 Free Pick
The only thing that is consistent about the Bengals is that they’re inconsistent. You’ll get one half of good football out of them before they fold; it just depends on what half that is. Last week against the Jets, they played well in the first half and then checked out in the second. The week before, they lit up the scoreboard against the Bills, but then allowed Buffalo’s passing game to take over in the second half. We’re assuming that Carson Palmer and his goofy pair of receivers will play well in the first half but eventually Drew Brees will take advantage of Cincinnati’s weak pass defense and pull away. The Saints are getting healthier and they’re primed and ready for a great run down the stretch. They won’t overlook the Bengals this Sunday – our pick is the Saints -6.5.
