Betting on the Los Angeles Rams (+3)
Regular season record: 1-1
The Rams failed to follow up their win in Week 1 over the Seattle Seahawks on the road with another victory in Week 2 at home, as they fell prey to the San Francisco 49ers, 30-23. Despite the loss, Puka Nakua showed that his Week 1 performance against the Seahawks was no fluke, as he had 147 receiving yards on 15 receptions and 20 targets against a tough Niners defense.
With Cooper Kupp still on the injured list. Nacua should continue to see plenty of targets, but Los Angeles’ rushing attack might be the one to shine more this coming Monday. Kyren Williams, with Cam Akerd no longer behind him, must be salivating over the prospect of testing Cincy’s defense that is allowing 192.0 rushing yards per outing – 31st in the NFL thus far.
Betting on the Cincinnati Bengals (-3)
Regular season record: 0-2
The Bengals are still groping for form this year. They are off to a poor start, suffering back-to-back losses to the Cleveland Browns on the road in Week 1 (24-3) and then to the Baltimore Ravens at home in Week 2 (27-24). It might not get any better for them in Week 3 if quarterback Joe Burrow fails to suit up.
Burrow did not practice on Thursday and head coach Zac Taylor said that the former LSU Tigers signal-caller is day-to-day. If Burrow ultimately sits Monday’s game, Cincinnati will turn to backup Jake Browning for quarterback chores versus the Rams. In any case, the Bengals have formidable weapons downfield notwithstanding the struggles of the offense early this season. Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd, and Ja’Marr Chase are all threats in the air attack as well as pass-catching back Joe Mixon, who had 52 receiving yards on six catches and eight targets in Week 2.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Los Angeles Rams vs Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals prevent a 0-3 start with Cincinnati’s defense waking up finally, particularly against the run.
Prediction:
The Bengals win, 23-20.
