The Cincinnati Bengals orchestrated a comeback in their Week 1 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, rallying from a 17-6 halftime deficit to force overtime after finishing the final quarter down 20-20, including a touchdown on the final play of regular time.
Once in overtime, the Bengals had the opportunity to win the gamebut kicker Evan McPherson missed a 29-yard field goal attempt, keeping Pittsburgh alive for a field goal with seconds left in overtime.
It was a painful defeat, especially against a divisional rival, and while there are points to be highlighted, such as the fact that they outgained their opponents on first downs by 32 vs. 13 and 432 total yards vs. 267,there are also areas for improvement, with the main one being quarterback Joe Burrow’s focus on the game, as he had four passes intercepted.
Betting on the Dallas Cowboys
- Season record: 0-1
- Spread: +7
- Moneyline: +240
- Over/Under: 43.5
The Dallas Cowboys will play for the second consecutive week at home after playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the first Sunday Night Football of this 2022 NFL regular season. However, they did not have the best of results in Week 1, as they ended up losing 19-3 after allowing four field goals and a touchdown pass.
Nevertheless, the result was overshadowed by the news that came out after the match was over.The team’s quarterback, Dak Prescott, who left the field in the fourth quarter due to an apparent injury, will have to undergo surgery on his thumb, leaving him inactive for six to eight weeks.
This will cause deja-vu for their fans, as the Cowboys were also without their quarterback for most of the 2020 season and finished third in their division.They will not want this to happen again, though life without Prescott in the coming weeks will be difficult, especially for a team that has already had several departures throughout the offseason.
JefeBet Prediction
Things were already difficult for the Cowboys with their starting quarterback in the game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and now that they must continue without him, it doesn’t seem that things will improve,especially considering they will be receiving a visit from one of the teams that reached the Super Bowl in the previous season.
The Bengals definitely showed weaknesses in Week 1,but most of them were linked more to their own mistakes than to the Steelers’ successes.The team’s ability to correct these errors against a weakened team could be enough for them to walk away from AT&T Stadium with a comfortable victory and a smile on their face.
Prediction: Cincinnati Bengals Spread (CIN 24 – DAL 9)
