Bengals vs Lions Moneyline

In this battle of cats, the cats you should be going with are the Bengals. Along with their five straight wins at Detroit, the Bengals have won six in a row overall against Detroit and nine of the last 10. The Lions posted their most recent win over the Bengals at Cincinnati in 1992.

However, the Bengals are a disappointing 2-17-1 straight up over their past 20 road games. They’re also 2-5 SU in their last seven games against the NFC North. It’s the Lions, though. Whatever betting sites you use, go there and take Cincinnati on the moneyline all day long. You can get the Bengals -175 at BetMGM.
