The QB matchup in this game is the story here as both teams have seen their starter go down due to injury. Denver continues with Brock Osweiler, while Cincinnati goes with A.J. McCarron. The Denver offense continues to struggle, and after Peyton Manning threw 17 INTs, Osweiler has added four more to that total. It seems that he is having trouble adjusting after halftime, with coaches taking away what he was doing in the first half. The Broncos last three games have seen them get blanked in the second half by a 36-0 margin. The Broncos have had to rely on a stout defense to stay in and win games. As the offense struggles, and defense spends more time on the field we saw the cumulative effect last week vs. Pittsburgh when they gave up a season high in points. The Bengals have truly been road warriors as they are 7-0 ATS in their last seven on the road, while the bright Monday Night lights have not been good to the Broncos where they are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven. Under Marvin Lewis, the Bengals are 60-45 ATS after a win including 30-17 ATS following a double-digit win. Take the points on Cincinnati.
