Washington Commanders at Cincinnati Bengals Preview & Picks

Cincinnati are tipped to cover as they finally get off the mark for this season.

The Bengals' offense showed improvement last time out and can take advantage of a struggling Washington defense.

  • Cincinnati Bengals are 3-1 in their previous 4 home games
  • Washington Commanders are 2-7-0 ATS in their last 9 games
  • Washington Commanders are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as 7+ point underdogs
  • The Over has cashed in 14 of the last 20 games involving either team

Head To Head

  • The all-time series is tied at 5-5 with 1 tie
  • Washington Commanders won 20-9 when the two teams last met in November 2020

Washington Commanders Form

Washington head to Cincinnati looking to back up last weekend's big win over division rivals, the New York Giants.

The Commanders opened up with a 37-20 defeat when they visited Tampa Bay in Week 1, only to rebound with a 21-18 victory in their home opener against the Giants.

That victory over New York, which came courtesy of seven Austin Seibert field goals, ended a nine-game losing skid that dated back to last November.

Washington started the 2023 season with back-to-back wins over Arizona and Denver, only for their form to quickly nose-dive.

The Commanders won just two more games that season, with the last of those wins being a 20-17 victory at the New England Patriots on November 5.

Cincinnati Bengals Form

Cincinnati enter this matchup seeking a first win of the season, having suffered back-to-back defeats to start the campaign.

The Bengals were expected to come out on top when they hosted New England in Week 1, but instead they fell to a 16-10 defeat.

That was hardly the ideal result ahead of a trip to face the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs, but they did produce an improved display as they lost 26-25 at Arrowhead.

It was also a bad start for a Cincinnati team who are looking to get back to the postseason after missing out last time around.

The Bengals rallied after a slow start to the season, but four wins in their final six games were not enough to see them into the playoffs.

Verdict

Cincinnati may be 0-2 but there are reasons for optimisim after that narrow loss to Kansas City.

The Bengals offense showed improvements and can build on that against this bad Washington defense.
