The Cincinnati Bengals (5-6) visit the Jacksonville Jaguars (8-3) to wrap up the Week 13 slate on Monday Night Football. Kickoff from EverBank Stadium is set for 8:15 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Bengals vs. Jaguars odds, and'make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Bengals enter on a 3-game skid, which included a Week 11 Thursday night 34-20 loss at the Baltimore Ravens when QB Joe Burrow suffered a season-ending wrist injury in the 2nd quarter. Backup QB Jake Browning now runs the offense, which only scored 1 TD in a 16-10 home loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week when Cincy was a 2-point underdog because of Burrow’s absence.
The AFC South-leading Jaguars are coming off a 24-21 victory as 1-point road favorites at the Houston Texans. Jacksonville avoided overtime when Houston’s 58-yard, game-tying field-goal attempt with 34 seconds left bounced off the crossbar. QB Trevor Lawrence finished with 364 passing yards (23 of 38, 1 TD, 1 INT) as the Jaguars won a 2nd game in a row and their 7th in the last 8 games.
