Through two weeks, the Bengals are 0-2 despite being priced as heavy favorites in each of their first two games. The Jets have been big underdogs in each of their first two contests.
It’s tough to place too much faith in either of these teams after an uneven couple of weeks for both sides. The Bengals have been arguably the biggest disappointment in the entire league after dropping a pair of winnable games, while the Jets looked overmatched for 58 minutes last week before pulling off a seemingly impossible comeback.
Still, it’s hard to know exactly what we’ll get from either side in Sunday’s tilt, which oddsmakers are seemingly pricing based on preseason priors. We do know one thing: points are likely to be at a premium. Cincinnati’s offense is in serious trouble, and it’ll take more than one week to fix it. The Bengals scored 20 points in 70 minutes in an ugly Week 1 loss to the Steelers, who forced five turnovers in an embarrassing display for the defending AFC champions. Even if you wanted to write that off as turnover luck, it’s hard to explain last week’s 20-17 loss to the Cowboys, in which Cincinnati totaled 254 yards and finished 6-of-17 on third down.
This year? Chase has just 183 yards in two games, and he has zero receptions of 25 yards or longer. Burrow doesn’t have a completion of that long, either, as defenses have attacked this Bengals offense with a heavy dose of Cover-2 looks and taken away the deep ball from an offense that thrived on it a season ago. It’s rendered this unit toothless through two games, and the third-year QB hasn’t been able to adjust.
