Arguably the best game of the NFL week 3 clashes the Green Bay Packers and the Cincinnati Bengals, this Sunday at 1 PM ET at Paul Brown Stadium.

Both teams are 1-1, and both won in week 2.  Green Bay in particular looked awfully good against the Redskins in the 34-20 victory.

QB Aaron Rodgers threw a career-high 480 yards and four touchdowns without a pick. James Starks added a career-best 132 yards through the ground.

“I’m very happy for James as he was able to maximize his opportunity,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “We had a good plan, and it was well-executed up front. … James, for the most part, had clean reads, made good decisions and didn’t waste any steps at the hole. When James gets that big stride going and gets leaning forward, he’s a tough guy to handle.”

The Bengals know they can’t have ‘three and out’ series or they will get blown put at their own building.

“They’re an offense that can score a lot and can score really quick,” quarterback Andy Dalton said. “(Our) offense has to come to play this week. We’ve gotta do whatever we can to keep scoring, keep drives going.”

Cincinnati beat the Steelers on Monday night and will arrive to this game after a short week. The Bengals are 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games when playing Green Bay, but they won in 2009 at Lambeau field 31-24.

Green Bay is 11-4 SU in its last 15 games, but currently 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games on the road.  The Bengals are 3 point home dogs in the NFL betting lines.
