Arizona at Cincinnati

img1:00 PM Eastern

There is likely going to be rain and some wind, but that's not going to deter Arizona and Cincinnati from putting up a lot of points in this matchup. These are two passing-oriented teams with extremely weak defenses. Both the Cardinals and Bengals are eliminated from the playoffs, so the game should be played extremely loosely. Joe Burrow is a top-five quarterback. He has thrown four touchdowns in two of his last three games. Ja'Marr Chase is the best wide receiver in the AFC, if not all of football. The Cardinals have allowed an average of 34.7 points per game during their last seven games. Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett is averaging 41.6 passes per game during his 10 games as a starter this season. The Bengals have the worst statistical defense in the NFL, giving up the most points, total yards, and rushing yards. They are 29th in pass defense. Cincinnati has surrendered 26 or more points in 11 of its last 14 games. Take the OVER.
