The New England Patriots visit the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1 of the NFL season on Sunday. Kick from Paycor Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we look at Patriots vs. Bengals odds from BetMGM Sportsbook before making our expert NFL picks and predictions later in the week.
The Patriots finished the preseason 1-2 after losing their final 2 games, the last a 20-10 setback against the Washington Commanders. QB Drake Maye went 13-of-20 for 126 yards and a TD while QB Jacoby Brissett had an early exit due to a shoulder injury. It looks like Maye will be taking the reigns of the offense to start the 2024 campaign.
Cincinnati failed to win a preseason Game after losing 27-14 to the Indianapolis Colts in its final Game. Third-stringer Logan Woodside was the only QB to see any action in the Games as Joe Burrow preps for a comeback from a wrist injury that ended his season early. Lingering for the Bengals is the availability of WR Ja’Marr Chase, who is still trying to negotiate a contract extension and is a threat to sit out until it happens.
