Im on the over of 49.5 in this Bengals @ Cowboys game for these reasons:

- 2 coaches fighting for their jobs on Primetime TV is a signal for an over. They’ll be likely to pull out all the stops, quicken the pace for big plays, and will have more 4th down conversions to keep themselves in the lead.

- Bengals are 9-3 to the over , Cowboys are 8-4 to the over. These teams have been blown up by other teams all season in shootouts. Even the last 3 games with Cooper Rush have gone over for the cowboys.

- Cowboys are averaging 34 points allowed to opponents in Jerry World, and the Bengals are averaging 27 points on opponents this season, 6th best. Bengals defense is chop liver, and can be had in a multiple of ways, being that they are 27th against the pass and 22nd against the run.

- Both teams have injuries in the Defensive side that could effect the little bit of support these two have on that side of the ball. Trevon Diggs is questionable (Chase and Higgins should EAT), and for the Bengals, Sheldon Rankins is out (Rico Dowdle should feast on the ground).

- This game opened up with the over/under set at 47
