How to Watch the Bengals Take On the Jets: Live Stream, Channel, Predictions, and Betting Odds

The Bengals had struggled through four consecutive losses and were in disarray after losing quarterback Joe Burrow for an extended period. However, in his second game since moving from the Cleveland Browns, Joe Flacco stepped up, guiding the Bengals to a nail-biting 33-31 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers last week. Flacco had an impressive performance, throwing for 342 yards and completing three touchdowns, while standout receiver Ja’Marr Chase excelled with 16 receptions for 161 yards and a touchdown.

In stark contrast, the Jets are floundering this season, currently sitting at 0-7. Recently, they had a dismal offensive outing, managing just 220 total yards in a 13-6 loss to the Carolina Panthers. After a rough first half, coach Aaron Glenn made the decision to bench offseason addition Justin Fields for veteran Tyrod Taylor, but it remains a mystery as to who will start this weekend.

Insights on the Matchup

Flacco’s Progression: Following a shaky period for the Bengals at the quarterback position, Flacco is beginning to find his rhythm following his recent win over the Steelers. With a lineup full of weapons, including Chase, he seems to be in a good place against a Jets team that gives up significant points.
Jets Offensive Woes: Much of New York’s challenges stem from their underwhelming offense. Averaging only 271.3 yards per game, they’ve managed just 17 total points in their past couple of outings. With Fields and Taylor both actively competing for the starting role, the Jets will aim to get Breece Hall involved in any way possible.
Bengals’ Rushing Needs: The Bengals have struggled in the rushing department, averaging 68.9 yards per game. After a strong performance of 108 yards last week, Chase Brown could find more room to run against a susceptible Jets defense.

Prediction

It’s uncertain which Jets quarterback will start in the face of the Bengals, but with Flacco in better form, the Bengals appear poised for a convincing win this week. Pick: Bengals -6.5; Under 44.5.
