00:00this game between the Broncos and the Bengals. Both teams have their playoff hopes firmly

00:08alive and this is where we want to be looking for some real action. Now, I've said this

00:13on various shows throughout the week. Initially, I lean on the under 49 and a half. I lean

00:19on the under despite the fact that we've seen some clear lack of consistency from the Bengals

00:24defense this season and the Broncos defense is good. This game is just too important

00:31for both teams for them to truly want to get out there and run this up to 60-70 some odd

00:36points. That's not what we should be seeing at a game at this point in the season when

00:40they're both literally fighting for their playoff lives. The Bengals need to win out

00:44of the next few games and we get into some of the playoff scenarios of Team X needs to

00:48win this and get help, you know, Y over here, Z over there, wherever it might be. But the

00:52Bengals need to take care of business, so do the Broncos. So, they don't want to turn

00:55this into a bar and burger shootout. So, I lean under 49 and a half. I also generally

01:00look towards Joe Burrow over 36 and a half passing attempts. It's not listed right now

01:05on the FanDuel Sportsbook. I'm seeing over elsewhere on DraftKings, it's 36 and a half

01:11passing attempts. It is juiced a little bit minus 125. He's averaging 37 on the season.

01:16We do see the Bengals coming in with a 64.22 pass play percentage. That's the third highest

01:21in the lead because despite the good effort and good production, most importantly, that

01:28we've seen from Chase Brown at the backfield for the Bengals since Zach Moss has gone out

01:32with an injury. Chase Brown is great, but at the end of the day, it is a Joe Burrow-led

01:38offense with Jamar Chase and T. Hagan. That's what we should be seeing from Joe Burrow and

01:43the Bengals overall this season. So, that's what they should be doing at the most important

01:48time of the year. So, Joe Burrow over 36 and a half passing attempts. Not the yards,

01:53just the attempts.
