The 49ers and Bengals are entering this Sunday’s game in very similar positions. Both are coming off losses while maintaining their inside tracks for a Wild Card berth. As these two teams come down the stretch, this game will be huge, holding onto their respective spots.
The Bengals opened the week as a slight favorite at -1 on DraftKings Sportsbook, but over the week, money has moved that line all the way to the Niners being favored by 2. Either way, people think this will be close, and that feels right.
Big thanks to Patrick Judis at Cincy Jungle for answering all my questions and graciously offering his insights!
