Cincinnati Bengals vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Betting Picks & Predictions

Game outlook

Cincinnati is on the road playing Tampa Bay at the Raymond James Stadium stadium on Sunday, 12/18/2022 @ 4:25pm EST. Cincinnati -3 was the opening favorite and current line is Cincinnati -3.5.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cincinnati Bengals are headed in very different directions as they play each other on Sunday. There had been a lot of talk about a Super Bowl hangover after the Cincinnati Bengals started off the year 0-2. Since then, the Bengals have gone 9-2 in their last 11. Last Sunday, they defeated Cleveland by 13 after defeating the Chiefs in an AFC Championship Game rematch. The Bengals were without Ja’Marr Chase for four games but weathered the storm, and Joe Burrow has played at an MVP level. Tampa on the other hand is in free-fall, and they just got smoked 35-7 by the 49ers in Brock Purdy’s first career start. Tom Brady and the offense have been anemic, as they’ve scored more than 22 points just once all season and that was all the way back on October 2nd in a loss
