Another NFC North opponent awaits the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday afternoon as the Green Bay Packers come to Paul Brown Stadium. Aaron Rodgers and Joe Burrow are playing fantastic football of late as they’re set to headline one of Week 5’s best matchups.
Here’s all the information you need before placing any wagers on the game.
Odds
The Bengals are three-point underdogs to the Packers, per DraftKings Sportsbook. The opening spread was -6 favoring the Pack, which was a big spread for a road team to cover. Three points for a road team, however, is usually treated like a six-point spread if the game were played in a neutral site.
The over/under for Sunday’s game is 50.5, as both defenses will have their hands full. Green Bay’s defense isn’t expected to have Pro Bowl cornerback Jaire Alexander, and Rodgers is by far the best quarterback the Bengals will have played so far this season.
