The Bengals have a history of being strong in the second half of the season during the Joe Burrow era going 12-4 the last two plus seasons after Week 10.

Don't be fooled by the team's records here. The oddsmaker certainly isn't. Cincinnati is 4-6, but three of those losses were to the Ravens twice and Chiefs by a combined five points.

The Chargers' 6-3 record is bolstered by five of those wins coming against the Raiders, Panthers, Saints, Browns and Titans. The combined record of those five losers is 12-35.

Cincinnati should be fortified with the expected return of Tee Higgins and offensive left tackle Orlando Brown Jr.

The Chargers' home field offers little advantage to them compared to those of other teams because of fan apathy.
