Bengals at Buccaneers preview

This is an intriguing battle between two playoff contenders as the Cincinnati Bengals head to Tampa to take on the Buccaneers.

Cincinnati are locked in a race with Baltimore for the AFC North title, while the Bucs are stumbling their way to the NFC South division, where they look the best of a bad bunch

After a sloppy start, the Bengals are beginning to look like the team who reached the Super Bowl last season and should be able to handily beat the Bucs on their own patch.

Quarterback Joe Burrow has been superb for Cincinnati and his rapport with wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase continues to make them one of the most fearsome duos in the league.

The Bengals got the better of the Chiefs two weeks ago and just beat the Browns by 13 points, and playing this Bucs team is arguably a drop down in competition.

Just when it looked as if Tampa Bay were beginning to turn a corner they lost 35-7 to a San Francisco 49ers team who were starting a seventh-round rookie at quarterback.

The Bucs continue to have plenty of problems and despite the star-studded squad, their offence has been anaemic for the most part and also hit by injuries.

Given how excellent the Bengals have been in recent weeks and throughout the season, it’s hard to see them slipping up now with the team so laser-focused and motivated to pip the Ravens to the AFC North title.

Take Cincinnati to secure their tenth win of the season and cover the spread.
