The Carolina Panthers (2-6) travel to the Queen City to take on the Cincinnati Bengals (4-4) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at Panthers vs. Bengals odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our NFL picks and predictions.
After a tough 33-14 division loss Monday night at the Cleveland Browns, the Bengals return home looking to get back into the AFC North race. With WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) missing, the Bengals offense took a nosedive. It only had 36 yards rushing and was outgained 440 to 229 yards by Cleveland. The offense will need to perform better at home if the Bengals want to get through this storm and come out the other side still standing.

Carolina led 28-24 with 3:06 to go, but Atlanta scored a TD and FG for a 34-28 lead with 36 seconds left.
