T.M. Selection: Bengals vs Cowboys - UNDER

I am on the UNDER in the Cincinnati Bengals at Dallas Cowboys game on Monday. The Cowboys defense is getting healthier again and they have a great pass rush. The Bengals offense has been strong this season with Burrow having an amazing season at QB. However, this total has been driven up by the markets and I am seeing value on the under now with this one all the way past the 49 mark. Cincinnati, though chances are very slim, is still alive in the wild card race and Dallas is very much alive in the wild card race in the NFC East. What I am saying with this is that both defenses will be ready for a strong effort. The Bengals defense has been struggling badly but gets a much better chance at redemption here against a Cowboys team still without Dak Prescott at QB. Cooper Rush is more of a game manager QB. Dallas has averaged 19 ppg last 7 games even with B2B big wins over the Commanders and Giants. Too much of the pricing on this total is related to Cincinnati's numbers and not enough to the Cowboys. They will be ready at home here and this one will have a playoff feel to it given the importance of this game to each team that is desperately trying to hang on in the playoff races. The pass rush of Dallas causes the Bengals offense problems and QB Rush leads a clock management style of game as the Cowboys want to keep the Cincinnati offense off the field.

T.M. Prediction: 21-16 Cincinnati.

Line: O/U 49.5
