So many things point to a Cincinnati Bengals win in Week 13. Mostly, the fact that Taylor and his team have been close the last two weeks, despite terrible performances from Ryan Finley. The switch to Dalton in Week 13 is one that should yield a positive result. However, it is worth remembering that he hasn’t won in 2019 either, and in Cincinnati, winning is never a lock.

The Jets are coming off an impressive win against the Raiders. They won easily 34-3 and would love nothing more than to keep their three-game win streak going against the winless Bengals. It makes sense. It should be an easy pick.

However, what often seems an easy win never seems to materialize in the NFL, but Dalton back under center means something. Cincinnati is due, and a less than impressive or consistent team like the Jets might be one of the last chances for a win this team has.

It’s simple-if Finley is starting on Sunday, the Jets win. With Dalton under center, the Bengals get their first win of the 2019 NFL season.
