The Cincinnati Bengals got to relax over the weekend after beating the Jaguars on Thursday Night Football but now they’ll go back to playing the rest of their games on Sundays. Their next matchup comes against the 3-1 Green Bay Packers, who are coming to Paul Brown Stadium for this AFC-NFC battle.
On paper, the Packers are the better team but only because they have Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback. Cincinnati has surprised some people on their path to a 3-1 record and if they could somehow take down the Packers, they’d officially have the attention of everyone in the NFL.
While the Bengals might not have a future Hall of Fame quarterback, they’ve played well on both sides of the ball and could put up a good fight in this one.
Bengals vs Packers Odds Week 5
According to WynnBET, Cincinnati enters this game as a 3.0-point underdog with a moneyline grab of +120. The favored Packers have a moneyline of -160. The over/under of points is set at 51.0.
Bengals vs Packers Prediction Week 5
To be honest, I’m surprised the Packers aren’t favored by more. Yes, the Bengals are the home team but Green Bay has been firing on all cylinders ever since their embarrassing defeat to the Saints in Week 1.
These odds show that the Bengals are getting at least some respect now after their 3-1 start. I’m not sure if Cincinnati will cover here and predict the Packers will win 30-24. They will make this a tough game for the Pack but it won’t be enough for them to move to 4-1 on the year.
