The Cincinnati Bengals needed a spectacular performance from Joe Burrow to escape with an overtime victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, but oddsmakers aren't expecting the same kind of offensive fireworks when Cincinnati faces the Atlanta Falcons next weekend.
Still, with the Bengals' defense continuing to struggle, the early betting lines suggest another potentially high-scoring affair.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Cincinnati opened as a 3.5-point favorite over Atlanta, with the Bengals listed at -225 on the moneyline and the Falcons at +188. The opening over/under was set at 49.5 points.
