Falcons vs Bengals Prediction & Pick
Home field advantage is the key to this matchup. Atlanta is 1-4 straight up in its last five away games and hasn't beaten this Cincinnati squad at Paycor Stadium since 2006. The Bengals also average 401.5 yards per game at home in 2022, while the Falcons average 302.7 yards per game on the road.
The Bengals are stacked with talented playmakers in the form of Burrow, Chase, Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd and Joe Mixon. The Falcons lost their best offensive weapon in Cordarrelle Patterson a few weeks ago and are still trying to determine his best replacement. Cincinnati gets the job done here.

Falcons vs Bengals Best Bet
Yes, the Falcons are the only team in the NFL that has covered the spread in each of the first six weeks. Betting against them has been a nightmare. However, keep in mind the Bengals are 5-1 against the spread (ATS) in their last six home games and 12-2 ATS in their last 14 games overall.
Cincinnati has the firepower on defense to win this game by at least a touchdown. Players like Trey Hendrickson and Jessie Bates III have helped their team post the eighth-best total DVOA rating in the NFL. A handful of stalled drives for Atlanta will put this one out of reach during the second half.
