The Cincinnati Bengals (coming off a 24-21 win against Jacksonville) face the Green Bay Packers (fresh from a 27-17 victory over Pittsburgh) in their only meeting this season.

Game Odds:

  • Spread: Packers -3 (-105) / Bengals +3 (-115)
  • Over/Under: 50.5 points (-110)
  • Moneyline: Packers -150 / Bengals +130

Bengals Keys to Victory:

  • Joe Mixon's health status is crucial (currently questionable)
  • Rely on Joe Burrow's passing game (73% completion rate, 9 TDs, 4 INTs)
  • Take more downfield shots to receivers
  • Capitalize on Burrow-Chase connection
  • Must compensate for potential running game absence

Packers Keys to Victory:

  • Build on momentum since Week 1 loss
  • Leverage improved offense with Rodgers (64.5% completion, 8 TDs, 2 INTs)
  • Utilize Aaron Jones (3 TDs this season)
  • Recently signed Jaylon Smith to boost defense
  • Focus on pass defense if Mixon is out

Analysis: Without Joe Mixon, the Packers gain significant advantage. Green Bay's potent offense and ability to focus on defending the pass could prove too much for Cincinnati's defense. However, Joe Burrow's playmaking abilities could keep the Bengals competitive.
