The Cincinnati Bengals only have two wins over their past six games, but they
still have a chance to grab an AFC Wild Card berth as they head into a Saturday
NFL betting matchup at Bovada's online sportsbook this week at
home against the Arizona Cardinals.
Check out Bovada's NFL odds board today.
The Bengals are tied
with the Jets at 8-6 straight up on the season, but New York would win that
tiebreaker for the conference's second Wild Card berth based on their higher
winning percentage in common games.
That means Cincinnati needs wins and
help over the next two weeks if they're going to get into the
playoffs.
In Week 15 the Bengals pulled out a 20-13 win on the road over
the Rams despite a sub-par performance from rookie quarterback Andy Dalton – 15
of 26 for 179 passing yards with no touchdowns and one
interception.
Cedric Benson and Bernard
Scott both rushed for touchdowns for the Bengals in that win, with
Mike Nugent booting a pair of field goals on the day. The
Bengals' defense held the Rams without a touchdown until the last minute of the
fourth quarter.
The Cardinals won their fourth straight game over the
weekend, getting back to the .500 mark at 7-7 with a 20-17 home overtime victory
against Cleveland. Arizona, though, is way back in 10th in the pecking order for
a playoff spot in the NFC.
John Skelton started in
place of inactive Kevin Kolb at quarterback for Arizona against
the Browns, going 28 of 46 for 313 yards with one touchdown and one
interception. Beanie Wells rushed for 51 yards and a score on
15 carries on the day.
The Cardinals are 8-6 against the spread on the
season, while the Bengals are 7-5-2 ATS through 14 games. These teams last met
back in 2007, with the Cardinals winning 35-27 on the road as a 3-point underdog
in an OVER result.
