Spread
The spread currently favors Burrow and the Bengals by 4.5 points.
Over/Under
The over/under is set at 47 points. It fluctuated between 46.5 and 47.5.
Moneyline
The moneyline tabs the Bengals favorites at -210, with the Panthers marked at +185. The betting markets give the Bengals about a 68% chance to win the Panthers 35%.
Player Prop
PRO Projections show a small edge on Bengals WR Tee Higgins to score 2+ touchdowns (+2000). 20-1 odds imply a 4.7% chance. However, we predict Higgins to achieve this feat 7% of the time, garnering a 2.2% edge.
PRO Projections recommend a 3.5% or better when tailing, so this one doesn't exactly meet the criteria.
Bengals vs. Panthers Prediction
Neither the Bengals nor the Panthers are viewed as attractive entering Week 4. However, one side at least holds enough luster for sharps, systems and other PRO resources to agree on a bet.
Point Spread
