Cincinnati Bengals at Jacksonville Jaguars predictions

Jacksonville Jaguars are featuring on Monday Night Football for the first time since 2011 and can mark the occasion with a double-digit win over the struggling Cincinnati Bengals.

With Joe Burrow ruled out for the rest of the season with a wrist injury, Cincinnati have slipped to three straight losses and head coach Zac Taylor has a 4-20 record in games without his star quarterback. 

Taylor’s record against the spread is better at 10-14, but the Bengals still look on a hiding to nothing with Jake Browning calling the shots at quarterback.

It’s hard to see anything other than a comprehensive victory for the Jags, who have built on last season's solid 9-8 record, and deserve to be taken seriously as a contender in the AFC having won seven of their last eight games to move to 8-3 for the 2023 campaign.

The Bengals, on the other hand, are reeling, they have a 5-6 record and their season is slipping away. These are two teams heading in different directions. 

It's possible that the Jags will be complacent in a contest they know they should win, but it's more likely that we get a professional performance from QB Trevor Lawrence as he and his team bid to stay in the hunt for the number one seed in the AFC.
