- The Eagles dominated their division rivals once again, embarrassing the Giants, 28-3.
- Cincinnati stymied the Browns on Sunday, defeating them 21-14, and improving to 3-4.
- These two teams last met on September 27, 2020, in a game that resulted in a 23-23 tie.
Philadelphia and Cincinnati face off in a key Week 8 NFL clash. Our Eagles vs Bengals prediction involves the Bengals leaning on their home-field advantage to win. This should be a close game between improving teams.
Eagles Aiming to Build Momentum
The Eagles have now won three of their last four games. Their defense was impressive against the struggling Browns and Giants, after allowing 33 points to the Bucs. Despite their 4-2 record, there are some concerns in Philadelphia. They’re 1-1 against playoff teams from last season, with their toughest tests still to come. Fortunately, their starters gained some rest in the blowout against the Giants. They’ll be ready for the Bengals.
Bengals Getting Back on Track
Cincinnati is finally looking competitive after starting out 0-3. Like the Eagles, they’ve won three of their last four games, with the last two wins coming against the flailing Browns and Giants. The other win was over the Panthers, providing even less confidence. Cincinnati’s competitive losses to the Ravens and Chiefs may be their best results. The Bengals are 0-3 at home, still seeking to appease their home crowd for the first time.
Eagles vs Bengals Prediction: Cats Claw Birds in Cincy
Both the Eagles and Bengals have been trending up lately, thanks in part to wins over teams moving in the other direction. They’ll each aim to prove their worth against a potential playoff contender in this matchup. Philadelphia is in better shape based on record and may enter this game with slightly less urgency than Cincinnati. I would be surprised to see the Bengals fall to 0-4 at home. I’ll take them to win this game, 23-20.
