Cincinnati Bengals vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Prediction, Tips & Odds

Joe Burrow is back and healthy after the toe injury that cost him nine games last season, and Cincinnati have bolstered the defensive front with Dexter Lawrence. We all expect this Bengals team to do well when Burrow is upright and though their defence did need some help, the O-line still looks like they’re being paid to get Burrow killed.

On the other side we have Baker Mayfield and as the saying goes – hell hath no fury like a Baker scorn. THe bucs dragged their feet in negotiations so now Mayfield heads into the season with a trademark chip on his shoulder ready to have a big year and earn an even bigger bag (possibly elsewhere).  Egbuka is recovering from turf toe but looks good to go whilst I like the only Buc to stay healthy all off season, Chris Godwin as a healthy sleeper for a touchdown.

Turnovers feel like the deciding factor in this one. Cincinnati need a strong start after a couple of disappointing seasons, and I think Burrow delivers.
