NFL Sunday Night Football Picks & Player Props: Bengals vs. Giants (Week 6)

Image of author by |

Once again, the New York Giants will be without Malik Nabers and Devin Singletary for tonight’s Sunday Night Football matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Giants made easy work of the Seattle Seahawks and will now play a Bengals team that has underperformed dramatically to start the season.

With that in mind, I’ve provided a best bet and a player prop for tonight’s matchup. Don’t look at the records. Tonight’s game should be a good one!

    Cincinnati Bengals vs. New York Giants (Game Pick)

    The Cincinnati Bengals needed to put together a players-only meeting on the defensive side of the ball after allowing the Ravens 41 points in an overtime loss. The Bengals have now allowed at least 24 points in four consecutive games, including two 38-point performances in regulation.

    The Bengals have allowed 29 points per game and have allowed more than 151 yards on the ground. After Tyrone Tracy’s breakout game last week, the Giants could seriously move the ball down the field on the ground. Not only is Tracy playing well, but Daniel Jones also has the legs to gain first downs against this Bengals defense.

    Tracy and Jones combined for more than 150 yards on the ground in last week’s win. That’s something that can totally happen again tonight against the Bengals.

    On the other hand, the Giants will also be shorthanded on defense. Kayvon Thibodeaux is out for at least four games after wrist surgery. It was a major portion of the Giants’ defense line that currently leads the league in sack percentage. New York will still be elite at getting to the quarterback. Ultimately, New York has been way worse at stopping the run. The Giants have allowed just over 200 yards in the air and have given up 115.40 yards on the ground. The pass rush and secondary is up to par. The run defense isn’t. However, Cincinnati at least lacks depth, with Zack Moss injured and Chase Brown listed as questionable.

    I’ll take the Giants +3.5 (-110) at home.

    Pick: Giants +3.5 (-110-105)

    Cincinnati Bengals vs. New York Giants (Player Prop)

    The Bengals are pathetic against the run defensively. It’s not just the holes that get open. It’s the poor tackling that enables runners to gain extra yardage down the field.

    That said, the Bengals will absolutely struggle to bring down Tyrone Tracy tonight. Tracy broke many tackles last week, and one resulted in a touchdown.

    In college, he broke 46 missed tackles on 113 carries, which was fourth in the country.

    He’s already averaged 5.3 yards per carry but added 7.2 yards as the lead running back for the Giants when he got 18 carries for 129 yards last week.

    Therefore, I’ll back Tracy to earn at least 58 rushing yards in tonight’s game.

    Pick: Tyrone Tracy Over 57.5 Rushing Yards (-120-120)
