Was Week 1 a fluke for the Bengals? After their season-opening victory over the Minnesota Vikings, they garnered more love in picks over at NFL Pick Watch against the Chicago Bears, with the picks nearly being 50/50.
Cincinnati responded by losing in Chicago, 20-17, largely in part to Joe Burrow’s three interceptions. As a result, the Bengals have come back to Earth, as just 12 percent of the folks at Pick Watch believe they will go into Pittsburgh this Sunday and come away with a Week 3 win over the Steelers in what is the first divisional game for both teams and the first AFC game for the Bengals.
Against the spread, it’s dead even, 50/50 with the Bengals +3. Based on Pick Watch’s odds, the Bengals are 1-1 against the spread, as Chicago just covered the spread of -2 last week.
