NFL Picks and Predictions – Thursday Night Football: Cincinatti Bengals at Philadelphia Eagles

NFL Featured Game – Thursday Night Football – Cincinnati Bengals at Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles have turned things around a little bit. They’ve started to play better, won a game, and found a way to compete with a rookie quarterback and backup running back. The defense still has deficiencies, but don’t be surprised if the Eagles find a way to finish what could be Andy Reid’s final season with some big wins.

The Cincinnati Bengals are a very good team. They fly under the radar a bit, but they have the pieces to be a playoff team. A few excellent defensive players, a good young quarterback, one of the best young receivers in the game, and a fairly balanced attack have the Bengals in position to make a late playoff push. Cincy is just a game out of the playoffs right now.

Still, there is too much to fear in a +4.5 home underdog spread here. The Eagles are playing better, and home teams dominate Thursday Night Football. Coming off a tough loss on the final play on Sunday, how will the Bengals possibly prepare for the Eagles in 3 days? As the line keeps moving and public money pours in on the Bengals, value in the Eagles continues to rise.

Z-Code is on the Bengals with 4 stars confidence and 66% moneyline support, but I like this big spread on the Eagles at home. Because Z-Code is conflicting with my opinion, it’s going to be a small bet for me.

Eagles 27 – Bengals 20
