The Cincinnati Bengals were always expected to be underdogs in London against the Los Angeles Rams.
But given the injuries and 0-7 start, that number is probably quite a bit higher than most would have guessed.
Zac Taylor’s Bengals are 13.5-point underdogs for this weekend’s game (odds via BetMGM).
No shock here despite the severity of the number. A week ago, the Bengals made a game look close again before an implosion capped off by three Andy Dalton interceptions over the course of a handful of attempts in the fourth quarter.
On the injury front, Cordy Glenn is back with the team after his suspension but remains a question mark. A.J. Green is likely to remain out until after the bye.
Call it unfortunate for the Bengals too considering the Rams look exploitable this year. They’ve lost three of four, the only win over that stretch coming against a hapless Atlanta team.
Even then, the Bengals are worse off than the Falcons and an Aaron Donald-led Rams line figures to feast against a struggling Bengals offense, meaning this is an at-your-own risk sort of line.
