Point spread, total, moneyline and more for Bengals-Bills in Week 3

The Cincinnati Bengals have been inconsistent this year, while the Bills are suddenly 2-0. Can the Bills add another home win in Week 3?

What do we make of Andy Dalton? He’s in his ninth year as a full-time starter, and he’s been a punch line for most of that time. Yet, most (though not all) of those criticisms had more to do with factors outside his control – especially poor coaching. Now, in his first season without Marvin Lewis at the reigns, the Red Rifle has shot out with the best two-game stretch of his career, including his first-ever 400-yard game. The biggest remaining question: is this a case of legitimate improvement and a better offense, or the combination of small sample size and favorable opponents?

The matchup against the Bills should teach us a lot about the new-look Bengals. Their schedule has also been favorable, but so far they’re allowing just 15.0 points and 296.5 yards per game. Given that the Bills finished 2018 with the second-best defensive DVOA in the league, their early strength seems believable.

A particular matchup of interest should be the Bills RBs against the Bengals defense. Since the start of 2018, the Bengals have allowed 10 RBs to top 80 yards rushing, and 11 RBs to reach at least 40 yards receiving.
