The New England Patriots look to continue their recent dominance over the Cincinnati Bengals when the NFL teams meet on Saturday.
Bill Belichick & Co. has won three straight and seven of the last eight games against the Bengals. New England, which leads the all-time series 17-9, will look to bounce back from Sunday’s stunning loss to the Raiders.
Here’s everything you need from a betting perspective on the Bengals-Patriots game, from point spread, money line, Over/Under total and expert pick (with odds via from FOX Bet):
The Patriots fullback fumbles, the Raiders recover and score a miraculous TD
Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, Kevin Wildes and Eric Mangini discuss the wild ending to the Raiders’ 30-24 win over the Patriots.

The whole world is betting on the Bengals here, but the line doesn’t move in 3 at most sportsbooks in America.
Hmmm.
It’s no secret that Bill Belichick-led teams are always more dangerous when the calendar turns to the winter months. Gillette Stadium is known for its chilling cold fronts in December and January, and Foxboro is probably one of the last places where Joe Burrow & Co. he wants to play this weekend.
The Patriots are just a different monster in 20 degree weather. They embrace physical football behind a powerful running game and strong defensive front. And I can’t wait to see how Belichick schemes for Cincinnati’s offense and star receiver Ja’Marr Chase. It should be a good one.
FOX Bet gives us +3.5, and that works for me. Take the points.
COLLECT: Patriots (+3.5 at FOX Bet at time of pick) to lose by less than 3.5 points (or win outright)
