Cincinnati vs. Atlanta

Cincinnati, 5-2, needed overtime to beat a Tennessee team that is 1-7. The Titans led 13-0 after the first quarter and scored 36 points, with Amani Hooker intercepting Joe Burrow three times, and the Bengals won 43-36 only after the game stood tied at 36 at the end of regulation. Burrow threw for 462 yards and five touchdowns in that game. Tennessee traded away Jeffery Simmons earlier that week, and Cincinnati scored no points in the first quarter. Cincinnati's defense gave up 15 points in the fourth quarter to that Titans offense. Atlanta comes in 3-5 after a 16-0 loss at Tampa Bay in which Michael Penix Jr. threw four interceptions in the rain and finished with a 12.0 passer rating. Tampa Bay ran for a franchise-record 324 yards, and Baker Mayfield completed none of his three passes. The Falcons are without Zachariah Branch, whose 14 kickoff returns have gone for 360 yards. James Pearce Jr. has finished his suspension and is in line to make his season debut at defensive end for a pass rush that lost Samson Ebukam to injured reserve. Atlanta, with the points, is the right side on the spread Sunday morning, and I don't expect it to need a Bengals misstep to get there.
