Cincinnati at Denver

Cincinnati has lost its last two games, but it could have won both if not for turnovers against the Chargers and then allowing the 49ers to score a touchdown in overtime after the Bengals had kicked a field goal. They can't afford to lose many more if they want to stay in playoff contention, and the Bengals have a good opportunity against Denver, which has split its last four games and is coming off a win over lowly Detroit. If Cincinnati can get out of the gate faster as opposed to its last two games, the Bengals have the better offense and quarterback in Joe Burrow, who staged a brilliant comeback against San Francisco while finishing 25 of 34 for 348 yards and two TDs. The Broncos are averaging only 21.2 points, and Cincinnati allows 22.5. The Bengals have covered four of their last five road games, and they are 5-2 ATS following a loss. Denver has covered just once its last six games versus AFC opponents, and the Broncos are 3-8-1 ATS their past 12 games following a win by at least 14 points. Play the Bengals for a Max Play.
