Cincinnati at Carolina

It appeared that after missing the playoffs last year Marvin Lewis would be gone, but they had faith in him and he returned for 2018. The Bengals have a core of players that have been around for awhile in Andy Dalton and A. J. Green, and not a lot of changes have been made. So far it all looks good, as the Bengals are off a pair of 34-23 wins to start 2-0 on the season. They have given up 300+ yards in the air in both games, but that is more a product of getting ahead and forcing their opponent to throw, as opponents have thrown over 100 times in two games. Carolina held a poor Dallas offense to just eight points in a Week 1 win, but gave up 31 to Atlanta the next week. The Panthers took some gambles, and have a lot of aging veterans expected to make impacts. Carolina is allowing nearly five yards per carry on the ground, and 7.2 yards per attempt in the air, and Dalton and Co. are hot right now. Play Cincinnati.
