Bengals Notebook: Injury updates and roster overhaul in 2020
The overhaul the Bengals began with new kinds of fresh moves, starting with the organization revamping the coaching staff as thoroughly as it's ever been revamped in 2019 and continuing with nearly $200 million committed this year in free agency at the advent of a once-in-a-century pandemic, took another uncharacteristic turn six days before the NFL trade deadline.

NFL Week 8 odds, picks: Titans cover against Bengals, Raiders upset Browns
Week 6 and Week 7 of the 2020 NFL season were probably the two toughest weeks to predict so far as it relates to gambling, but we still walked away with a winning a record. We went 17-10-1 over the last two weeks, and possibly 18-10 depending on where you grabbed the Cincinnati Bengals' spread against the Cleveland Browns. Thankfully, Cody Parkey missed the extra point after the Browns' game-winning touchdown, so we technically got a wash on the Bengals +3, but I know some of you grabbed it at +3.5.

Typically a strong suit of the Vikings, the defense has not held up its end of the bargain this season, currently sitting at 28th in yards allowed per game and 30th in points allowed per game. A lot of that has to do with personnel changes, including a high-profile addition -- edge rusher Yannick Ngakoue -- that simply didn't work out. Veteran defensive end Everson Griffen left in free agency, and elite defensive end Danielle Hunter also hasn't played a down in 2020. He won't suit up until next year after undergoing successful neck surgery this week.
