They are 2-1 in their home games, 1-3 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 6 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bengals haven't looked good in their games this season with their 3-4 record overall, but that record has them right near the top of the AFC North in a weak division. They have looked a lot better on their own field this year with their 2-1 home record, and they are off an impressive 33-31 win over the Steelers in their last one. The defense still didn't look great in that one, but the offense looked a lot better with Joe Flacco at the helm. Meanwhile, the Jets have looked terrible in their games this season with their 0-7 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the AFC East with the worst record in the NFL. They are off a 13-6 loss to the Panthers in their last one and they are the only winless team left in the NFL this season. Their defense hasn't looked good this year which is supposed to be their strength, and the offense has looked terrible in their games. Justin Fields hasn't been able to do anything in this offense as the team struggles to put up points in every game, and Fields is looking a lot like a big bust. They could be making a change to Tyron Taylor this week, but it isn't going to matter with how bad this offense has looked. The Bengals have some momentum now from that win over the Steelers and they are going to be motivated to get back to .500 here and keep themselves in the playoff race. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bengals to cover the spread in this game.
