Cincinnati Bengals vs. Dallas Cowboys Same Game Parlay Picks, Odds & Predictions Recap

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals (5-8) broke their three-game losing streak with a dramatic 27-20 NFL odds victory over the Dallas Cowboys (5-8). Burrow passed for 369 yards and three touchdowns, his fourth consecutive game with at least 300 yards and three scores. Ja’Marr Chase, the NFL leader in receiving yards and touchdowns, had a stellar night with 14 catches for 177 yards and two touchdowns, including the 40-yard game-winner.

The decisive play occurred after Dallas blocked a Bengals punt with the score tied late in the fourth quarter. Instead of leaving the ball untouched to gain possession, Amani Oruwariye mishandled his attempt to recover it, allowing Cincinnati’s Maema Njongmeta to secure the ball. Three plays later, Burrow connected with Chase, who slipped past DaRon Bland and raced into the end zone with 1:01 remaining. The Bengals capitalized on the opportunity, securing their first win in over a month despite seven of their eight tallied losses coming by seven points or fewer. Chase’s 15th touchdown of the season highlighted a career night, while Chase Brown continued his scorched earth campaign with another 123 scrimmage yards and a score; his ninth of the year.

For Dallas, the game brought painful flashbacks to their infamous 1993 Thanksgiving Day mishap against Miami. Oruwariye’s gaffe overshadowed strong performances from Cooper Rush, who threw two touchdown passes, and Rico Dowdle, who rushed for a career-high 131 yards. The loss ended Dallas’ two-game winning streak, all but eliminating their playoff hopes. DeMarvion Overshown suffered a serious knee injury in the fourth quarter, compounding a frustrating night for the Cowboys.

I couldn’t turn this game off soon enough once Rush overthrew Jake Ferguson on the final play of the game. The match had no business going under—anywhere! A whopping 10 Bengals penalties ultimately prevented us from sweeping this same-game parlay with a number accrued in the third quarter when Cincy went scoreless. The combined 4-of-8 showing in the red zone didn’t help matters. Instead, we narrowly missed out on the full game over as well as both team’s respective totals. A healthy 755 combined yards and 40 first downs equated to jack squat—betting the NFL at Caesars Sportsbook is so fun!!

Week 14 betting action closes out under the Monday night lights in “Jerry World” where the Dallas Cowboys will be out to secure a third straight win against a Cincinnati Bengals squad in desperate need of scoring a win to take their faint playoff hopes off life support. In line with the team’s 2024-25 M.O., the Bengals put a healthy 38 spot on the board last week and still lost the game after the Steelers handled them with ease on their own field. The Cowboys, with absolutely nothing to gain but lesser draft stock, won and covered the NFL odds after besting the Giants 27-20 on Thanksgiving Day. Caesars Sportsbook initially lined the Bengals 6.5-point favorites with a total of 44.5 for this non-conference clash. Both markets have seen adjustments with the spread down to 5.5, while the total has swelled to 41.5 with a heavy percentage of the betting handle banking on points hitting the board in bunches.

Reduced juice betting is one of the best ways for any sports bettor to save money and far too many people don’t take advantage of it. If you are not playing at a sportsbook that offers reduced juice betting then you are simply giving away money.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Dallas Cowboys NFL Same Game Parlay:

It’s a shame Cincinnati lacks any semblance of a defense to complement one of the league’s most lethal offenses. Upper management has significantly let Joe Burrow down by failing to assemble even a league-average unit to pair with the NFL’s most potent aerial attack. If the front office had done its part, the Bengals might be battling the Steelers and Ravens for division supremacy rather than heading into Week 14 with just a 3% chance of making the playoffs and fighting to avoid another last-place finish in the AFC North.

For all intents and purposes, the season is over for the Bengals who would need nothing short of a miracle from the football gods to end a two-year playoff drought since losing the Super Bowl and AFC title game in back-to-back years. As great the offense has been with it ranked No. 9 overall while scoring just short of 28 points per game (#6), it’s all gone for naught with Trey Hendrickson and his defensive mates serving up a whopping 28.3 points per game—the math ain’t mathing for success!

I seriously have no clue what the Dallas Cowboys are thinking right now. Since dropping five straight, which included embarrassing losses to the Lions (9-47), Eagles (6-34), and Texans (10-34), Big D has won two straight against the division rival Redskins (34-26) and Giants (27-20), covering the closing NFL spread as 11-point underdogs and 4-point favorites, respectively. On top of that, Mike McCarthy and Jerry Jones are smiling again and acting like nothing is wrong. Sorry, but everything is wrong! That win against the GMEN last week was the first logged at home through six tries a year removed from going undefeated in the regular season as hosts and covering all but two of them.

Due to the mini win streak, the Cowboys dropped out of the top-10 of the draft order for next year’s NFL Draft. For a team that did absolutely nothing to improve the roster this past offseason, you’d think draft stock would be at the top of the priority list right about now. For one reason or another, that’s not the vibe I’m currently getting out of Arlington. Even with Cooper Rush under center and no running game whatsoever (#31), I won’t come away shocked in the least if “America’s Team” takes the field determined to come out on top of this game as well.

I have absolutely zero inclination of getting involved with the point spread or moneyline in this matchup. As dire it is for the Bengals to win this game, I refuse to even entertain the thought of laying what I deem to be inflated road chalk. Not because I fear or have any respect for the Cowboys, but because the Cincy defense is simply just that bad.

Though the Dallas defense has been a bit better since Micah Parsons returned to the huddle, the run defense continues to stink out loud (#31) and it’s going to have a whale of time keeping up with Chase Brown whose more than come into his own during his sophomore campaign stealing the RB1 gig from Zack Moss and never looking back. Add to the mix Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, and it’s a good bet that Cincinnati goes on to hang another crooked number on the board. Same however can be said of the Cowboys who’ve gone for an average of 30.5 points per game the last two weeks. With that, I’ll sit back and root both teams on to put on a show and cash overs across the board for this MNF same-game parlay.
