Cincinnati Bengals vs. New York Giants Same Game Parlay Picks, Odds & Predictions

The Week 6 installment of Sunday Night Football takes NFL bettors to MetLife Stadium where Brian Daboll’s New York Giants will attempt to claw back to .500 and win their first home game against a Cincinnati Bengals outfit looking to turn its respective campaign around after getting out to a rough 1-4 start. Zac Taylor’s troops hit the road following a heartbreaking loss to the Baltimore Ravens in overtime in a game it had ample opportunities to win, while the GMEN scored its second road win of the year by going in front of the 12^th Man and shocking the Seattle Seahawks. Tonight marks the first time these non-con rivals have squared off since 2020 when NY went into the ‘Natti and logged the 20-17 non-covering win as 6.5-point favorites.

The lookahead NFL odds for this SNF tilt hit the board with the Bengals lined 5-point road favorites and the Over/Under (O/U) set at 46.5. A heavy dose of reverse line movement has affected both the point spread and total markets per current action reports. Though the Bengals have been aligned with 57% of the bets and 60% of the money, the NFL betting line has shortened up to 3.5 over at PROLINE+. The total has fattened up a point regardless of total bettors hitting the under with nearly 70 percent of the handle.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. New York Giants NFL Same Game Parlay:

Anyone that grabbed the points with the Bengals at home last week against the Ravens are still likely having a tough time getting over the loss. Cincinnati battled back from early 7-0 and 14-7 deficits to grab a trio of double-digit leads in the second half before allowing Baltimore to rattle off 10 straight points over a five-plus minute stretch to close out the fourth quarter. Then in overtime, the defense forced a turnover that had them in position to win the game but a botched snap and shanked Evan McPherson field goal attempt handed possession back over to the Ravens who took full advantage and went on to win the game. The loss was a tough one to swallow, but even more so for the team with the defeat dropping it to 1-4 straight up for the season. Not sure if you’re into historical trends, but it’s a tough uphill climb to make the playoffs with four tallies in the loss column through five weeks of play.

That being said, the banged up New York Giants could serve as the elixir needed to get this team back on track. Had the GMEN been at full strength for this one, I would give them more than just a shot to not only cover the NFL spread, but win the game. That however isn’t the case with it looking like stud rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers will be unavailable due to having a rough go trying to bounce back from the concussion suffered against the Cowboys that kept him out of last week’s win in Seattle. New York made up for his absence by hitting the ground game hard utilizing rookie RB Tyrone Tracy who turned his 18 carries into 129 rushing yards as well as WR Darius Slayton downfield who went off for 122 receiving yards and a tuddy.

Though the Bengals have struggled, losing three of their last four games, they’ve still lit the scoreboard up, averaging 32.5 points per game over the last month. In contrast, the New York Giants have yet to score a touchdown at home this season, with all 21 of the points put on the board coming via field goals. While the defense is ranked 14th against the pass, allowing just over 200 yards per game, the Giants are yet to run up against a high-caliber offense like the one Joe Burrow and the Bengals will march into East Rutherford on Sunday night. Shane Bowen’s secondary has exceeded expectations largely due to the pressure created by his defensive line. However, the recent loss of Kayvon Thibodeaux (out with a broken hand) and Brian Burns (questionable) puts the team at a significant disadvantage in an attempt to keep Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins under wraps. Without their usual ability to pressure the quarterback to fall back on, it’s tough to envision New York containing Cincinnati’s dynamic attack. The Bengals’ offensive balance, combined with the Giants’ depleted defense and struggling offense, suggests Cincinnati is poised to hang another crooked number and keep the Giants winless at home.

• CINCINNATI BENGALS (-3.5)
• NEW YORK GIANTS UNDER 22.5 TEAM TOTAL
