Video Summary

The Cincinnati Bengals are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 0-3 start as they take on the Carolina Panthers in Week 4. The Panthers are catching 4 and a half points at home, with a total of 47 or 46 and a half. Action is coming in heavy on the Bengal side, with 70% of the tickets and 80% of the money backing the underdog.

The Bengals' offense has looked decent, with the exception of one bad game against New England. Quarterback Joe Burrow has been efficient, with numbers similar to last year. The offensive line has been good, allowing only 16 sacks in three games. They'll face a Panthers defense that struggles against both the run and pass, ranking 22nd in yards per play and 27th in success rate.

The Bengals' defense, on the other hand, has been a concern. They've allowed 26.5 points per game, but it's been just one bad defensive performance against the Washington Commanders. The offense has struggled to get yards on the ground, ranking 27th in yards per carry. However, the Panthers' offense is also struggling, ranking 26th in yards per play and 31st in success rate.

With the Panthers' defense missing several key players, including safety Damone Jackson, linebacker Jordan Fuller, and defensive end DJ Washington, the Bengals' offense may have a field day. Additionally, the Panthers' offensive line is banged up, with guards Damen Lewis and Robert Hunt questionable.

On the other hand, the Bengals' defense is expected to struggle against the Panthers' passing game, led by quarterback Andy Dalton. The Bengals' pass rush is struggling, ranking 20th in pressure rate and 23rd in adjusted sack rate. If Trey Hendrickson, the Bengals' pass rush specialist, doesn't play, it could be a long day for the Bengals' defense.

Overall, this game has the potential to be a high-scoring affair, with both teams struggling on defense. The Bengals' offense should have an advantage, but the Panthers' passing game could also have success. Take the Bengals to cover the spread and the over.
