NFL Trends & Early Best Bets: Rams vs. Bengals

Rams @ Bengals €“ Monday, Sept. 25 €“ 8:15 p.m. EST

Current Consensus Lines €“ CIN -2 | O/U 43.5

Rams trends:

  • Previous 10 games: 3-6-1 ATS; 8-1-1 to the Under
  • Previous 10 games as a road underdog: 3-6-1 ATS; 7-2-1 to the Under
  • Matthew Stafford (Career): 90-104-5 ATS

Bengals trends:

  • Previous 10 games: 7-3 ATS
  • Previous 10 home games: 7-3 ATS
  • Previous 20 games as a favorite: 12-8 ATS
  • Joe Burrow (Career): 33-16-1 ATS

Best bet: CIN -1.5 (-110)

  • The Bengals have struggled out of the gate in each of the past two seasons, so it should be no surprise that this year has been no different, especially with Burrow missing a significant portion of training camp. I trust Cincinnati to bounce back in a great spot against a Rams team that has not fared well in these positions of late.

What is Betting Against the Spread?

Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.

What is an Over/Under Bet?

Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points, and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.

What is a Moneyline Bet?

A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
