Bengals vs. Bears betting preview<\/p>\n

Odds:\u00a0Bears -2.5, over\/under 51.5<\/p>\n

Even outside of that fourth quarter against the Jets, defense has not been either team’s strong suit this season. Cincinnati leads the league in total yards allowed (407.9) and points allowed per game (31.6), and the Chicago isn’t much better (350.7 yards, 26.4 points). The Bears defense does, however, have a solid third-down defense (30.5% conversion rate allowed) and leads the league with a plus-10 turnover differential. <\/p>\n

Chicago will have their hands full pressuring Flacco, who has thrown for 784 yards and has seven touchdowns in three games with Cincinnati. Williams, on the other hand, hasn’t thrown a touchdown pass in two straight games and hasn’t been successful at running the ball himself. However, D’Andre Swift<\/a> has kept the Chicago run game rolling and averaging 124.6 yards per game — while the Bengals run defense is allowing 151.9 yards on the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Model’s Bears vs. Bengals score prediction, picks<\/p>\n

The Bears have done a better job covering the spread this season, going 4-3-0 ATS compared to 3-5-0 ATS. This Week 9 matchup is projected to be a shootout since neither defense is consistent, and neither team can afford to lose a second game in a row. The SportsLine model projects Chicago will cover the spread in 61% of simulations. Bears vs. Bengals score prediction: Bears 30, Bengals 23\u00a0<\/p>\n
