Can the Bengals Win this Game? | Cincinnati Rested for Week 8

The Bengals were likely hoping that their bye week had come at a different point in the season. They had just begun to find their rhythm after a sluggish start. In their initial losses to the Browns, Ravens, and Titans, the Bengals averaged a paltry 10 points per game.

However, their fortunes have taken a turn for the better, with the team managing to score an average of 23.6 points per game in their three recent victories.

Ja’Marr Chase, one of the standout wide receivers in the league, has finally found his groove within the Bengals’ offensive scheme. He currently boasts an impressive 556 receiving yards, nearly half of the 1,230 yards that quarterback Joe Burrow has thrown for this season.

Although Joe Mixon continues to spearhead the Bengals’ ground game, he has only found the end zone once this season.

Following this matchup, the Bengals will return to their home turf to play two consecutive home games. They are set to face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football, followed by a matchup against the Houston Texans.

Can the 49ers Win this Game? | 49ers Have Challenges

In contrast, the past two weeks have been challenging for the San Francisco 49ers. After a dominating performance in the initial five weeks, during which they averaged 17 points per game, the 49ers’ offense has hit a roadblock.

To make matters more complicated, the 49ers may have to navigate this game without Brock Purdy, who is currently in the concussion protocol and listed as unlikely to play.

Should Purdy be unable to participate, the reins of the offense are expected to fall into the hands of Sam Darnold. While Darnold is a seasoned veteran, he has only attempted one pass this season.

This situation becomes more concerning with the news that Christian McCaffrey played through injuries in the previous week, although he managed to reach the end zone and has garnered nearly 600 rushing yards.

Additionally, Deebo Samuel missed the previous game, potentially providing an opportunity for Brandon Aiyuk to step up as the team’s top receiver. Despite these injury setbacks, the 49ers continue to rank second in scoring, averaging an impressive 28.7 points per game.

The 49ers are set to enjoy their bye week following this matchup, a much-needed respite. Upon their return, they will be facing the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Bengals vs 49ers Odds and Betting Prediction | Upset in San Fran?
