The Packers are entering this game with a 2-1-1 record overall and they have a 1-0 record in their divisional games too. They are 2-0 in their home games, 0-1-1 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

The current betting odds have the Bengals listed as a 14 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bengals haven't looked good in their games this season with their 2-3 record overall, but that record still has them in the AFC North race with the state of that division. They got off to a hot 2-0 start to the season, but now they have lost 3 games in a row and their season has gone downhill since losing Joe Burrow to another injury. The offense has looked terrible without him as Jake Browning hasn't been playing up to par, but now the Bengals are going to be starting Joe Flacco in this one and that QB change should give them some life. Meanwhile, the Packers have looked good in their games this season with their 2-1-1 record overall. They are coming out of their bye week after tying with the Cowboys 2 weeks ago, but they haven't looked great in their last 2 games. They also started the season hot with a 2-0 record, but that start has crumbled in their last 2 games. They will be looking to bounce back here and they are in a better situation at home, but this is still a lot of points for any NFL team to win by and Flacco does have a win over the Packers this season. The Bengals will look better offensively with Flacco starting and they will do enough to keep this game closer at the end. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bengals to cover the spread in this game.

“We hung the defense out to dry a couple times in the first half a couple games in a row. That’s my job. I call the plays on offense. I put that on myself. It just hasn’t been good enough. I’ve got to keep us out of danger. That’s on me.” - Zac Taylor after his team’s loss against the Lions in their last game. 

“I think that just goes to the level of detail where we're not where we need to be. The operation was just way too slow. I don’t know if our guys didn’t know we were in 2-minute or what.” - Matt LaFleur after his team’s tie against the Cowboys in their last game.
