Expert Betting Tips

Given the Cincinnati Bengals' dismal performance, I won't be rushing to the betting window to back the Los Angeles Rams in any way, shape, or form. On the other hand, I won't be laying chalk with the Cincinnati Bengals either. The Bengals' offense has been ineffective through the first two games of the season, and now there is a possibility that Joe Burrow will miss time with a calf injury. In the event that Burrow is unable to play, the Cincinnati Bengals would turn to Jake Browning, a 27-year-old quarterback who has never attempted a pass in the National Football League. It is fine if you have a different perspective about the Los Angeles Rams; nevertheless, they did compete closely with the San Francisco 49ers the week before, and through the first two weeks of the season, they had the fifth-best pass defense. Right now, I don't have much faith in the Bengals' quarterbacking situation. For me, it's either the Rams or the pass, with no points deducted.
