The Philadelphia Eagles and Cincinnati Bengals are both looking to make it three wins in a row when they face off at Paycor Stadium at 1:00 p.m. ET, live on CBS.
Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown returned two weeks ago against the Browns and did not miss a beat. I’m expecting that to continue this week in Cincinnati.
Find out why my Eagles vs. Bengals predictions expect Brown to rack up the receiving yards once again in my best NFL picks for Week 8 on Sunday, October 27th.
Eagles vs Bengals predictions & picks
Spread
The Eagles only have two losses on the docket this season and one was a last-minute collapse against the Falcons for a one-point loss. They’re healthy now and should be able to cover the +2.5, if not win outright.
Moneyline
The Birds are starting to soar with a 48-19 point differential in their last two games. They’ve gone on the road for wins in Brazil, New Orleans, and New York this season. They’re worth a stab at +120 odds.
Over/Under
Both of these defenses have buckled down recently with the Eagles allowing 19 points in the last two weeks and the Bengals allowing 21. Despite what may look like a high-scoring affair between Jalen Hurts and Joe Burrow, I’d go with the Under 48 here.
My Eagles vs Bengals best bet
A.J. Brown Over 75.5 receiving yards (-115 at BetMGM)
My analysis
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is one of the best at his position across the NFL. He’s only played in three games this season due to a hamstring injury, but he’s easily cleared this 75.5-yard mark in all of them.
Brown opened up the season with 119 yards on five catches in Brazil and has totaled 205 yards on 11 catches over the last two weeks. He has a decent matchup this week against a Cincinnati Bengals secondary that has been victimized by top receivers this season.
The Bengals are in the bottom half of the league in terms of passing yards against per game at 217 so far this season. And that includes games against lackluster offenses like the Panthers, Giants, and Browns.
Even with those softer opponents, the Bengals have allowed Over 75.5 receiving yards to a single wideout in four of their seven games this season. Rashee Rice barely missed the mark with 75 yards in Week 2, then Terry McLaurin (100 yards), Diontae Johnson (83), Zay Flowers (111), and Cedric Tillman (81) all surpassed it in four of the next five weeks.
Brown is going to get his fair share of targets in the Birds' offense and can even make the most of them if he doesn’t. Given last week’s game script in the 28-3 win in the Meadowlands, Brown caught all five targets for 89 yards, including a 41-yard touchdown.
Take Brown to go Over 75.5 receiving yards once again this season and I wouldn’t mind laddering this up to 100+ yards.
Eagles vs Bengals same-game parlay
A.J. Brown Over 77.5 receiving yards
Saquon Barkley anytime touchdown
Eagles moneyline
Saquon Barkley has been a revelation for the Eagles this season. The former Giants running back joined Philadelphia this offseason and he’s been fantastic in Philly. He ran for a touchdown last week to break a two-game drought and the Bengals have allowed a running back to score in six of their seven games this season.
The Eagles are getting healthy and may have turned a corner with a blowout victory last week. Let’s take them as the final leg to get to this +400 price.
