bengals vs buccaneers
Introduction:
The Cincinnati Bengals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will meet in Week 3 of the NFL season. The game is scheduled to begin at 7:25 p.m. ET on Thursday, Oct 6th.
Bengals
The Bengals are favored by 2.5 points and have won the last three games against the Buccaneers, so they should be able to win this one as well. The Bengals are also undefeated in the last five games, which includes two wins over New England and two more over Houston (and one tie). They've also won their last eight home games overall.
The Bengals have been invincible at home since October of 2016, when they went 9-1 there en route to winning their second playoff game in franchise history (the first was back in 1990).
Buccaneers
The Buccaneers are at home, and that's often where they tend to win games. The Bucs are 3-2 this season, having won two games by one point each (against the Patriots and Jaguars) while losing one on a last-minute field goal against the Lions. They're currently 2nd in their division—the NFC South—with an 8-5 record overall.
The Bucs' defense is strong; they rank fifth in points allowed per game at 19.0 and first in yards allowed per play at 4 yards per carry (6th). Their offense isn't too bad either; they rank third in first downs per game with 20 total drives behind Matt Ryan's Falcons and Drew Brees' Saints both tied for second place with 19 drives each recorded during Week 3 matchups between these two teams respectively last week."
