Falcons Offense Rolling
Not many would’ve thought that the better offense of these two squads through six weeks would be Marcus Mariota and co. He’s led the Falcons to the eighth highest points per game total in the league, as they’ve scored at least 23 points in all but one game.

Mariota hasn’t been lighting the world on fire with his arm, however, as he hasn’t had more than 229 passing yards in a game this year. Four of six contests have been less than 200 yards through the air. He has run for a total of 111 yards the last two games to make up for some of it.
The Bengals have recovered after losing their first two games by a field goal. They’ve scored at least 27 points in three of their last four contests, led by Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase. The Bengals wideout is T-5th in TD catches and eighth in receiving yards.
According to Pro Football Focus, the Falcons are the 7th-ranked team through six weeks (3rd on offense, 23rd on defense). As for the Bengals, they are 20th (19th on offense, 14th on D).
Falcons vs Bengals Injury Report
The Falcons have a relatively clean bill of health, as just DB Dee Alford and little used WR Jared Bernhardt have been ruled out. They also put starting cornerback Casey Heyward on injured reserve earlier in the week.

The Bengals had concerns that star receiver Ja’Marr Chase (hip) and TE Hayden Hurst could miss the contest, but they should be good to go. Offensive tackles Jonah Williams and La’el Collins are in the same boat. However, DL Josh Tupou and Jeff Gunter, along with LB Logan Wilson, have been ruled out.
54% of the handle has been placed for the Bengals to cover, with 85% of bets on the over in Falcons vs Bengals NFL betting trends, with 77% of wagers on Cincy to win on the moneyline.
Falcons vs Bengals Prediction
The first five Falcons duels this season, they’ve kept the score within six points, covering the spread in all six attempts. Then the latest one they won by 14. With that said, the trend could very well continue so they should be able to cover the 6.5 point spread.

Their last three games they haven’t gone over the listed 47 point total after doing so in the first three battles on the campaign. The Bengals haven’t gone over that number with the exception of last week.
The Pick:
- Falcons +6.5 (-110); 1 unit to win 0.91 units
- Under 47 (-114) 1 unit to win 0.88 units
2022 record: 9-8; +0.45 units
