Detroit Lions vs Cincinnati Bengals NFL Odds, NFL Predictions & NFL Picks: The Cincinnati Bengals will host the Detroit Lions this afternoon at Paul Brown Stadium in the Queen City. The battle of the big cats is set to get underway at 1:00pm ET on FOX. NFL Odds at online bookmaker Bodog.com have Cincinnati listed as a -13 against the spread home favorite.
Lions Breakdown: Detroit's winning ways or way lasted all of a week as they followed up their dramatic 38-37 victory over the Browns with a 12-34 Thanksgiving Day loss to division rival Green Bay. The Lions are not likely to recover this week, taking on a tough Bengals squad in Cincinnati. Detroit is 0-5 away from Ford Field this season where it is producing an average of 16.2 points per game. Not a good sign considering Marvin Lewis' stingy defense is limiting visitors to a mere 14 points per contest.
Bengals Breakdown: Cincinnati rebounded from a shocking road loss to Oakland with 16-7 home win over division rival Cleveland. The victory was the Bengals fourth in their last five games and gave them a two game lead over the Steelers and Ravens in the AFC North standings. Barring another Raider-like effort, the Bengals should easily dispose of the Lions at Paul Brown this afternoon, and, at a minimum, maintain their division edge.
Game Note: Running back Cedric Benson is scheduled to return to action this weekend after missing the last two games with a hip injury. The recently signed Larry Johnson topped the century mark last week while filling in for Benson.
NFL Odds Betting Trend: The Lions are 3-6-1 against the spread and 0-10 straight up over the last five seasons as a road dog in the month of November.
