Bettors should keep an eye on these lines as game day approaches.
Joe Burrow QB vs. Andy Dalton QB
As the quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals, Joe Burrow has had his tough moments, having registered 746 passing yards, with five touchdowns over three matches. He managed to play at a higher level than that of the team’s players despite the odds offered against the team. Being a quarterback, he has also done well by avoiding interceptions ever since starting this season, which shows great control in pressure situations. He has been sacked eight times, which indicates the possibility of trouble in the Bengals’ tackles especially with strong defensive teams.
On the other hand, in one less game played, Andy Dalton of the Panthers has managed a sufficient passer rating of 120.4 with three touchdowns and no interceptions. Dalton has also managed to complete 68.4% of his throws that reflects his experience and intelligence in controlling the game. Though in a few games as usual, Dalton’s performance has been a bright spot for the Panthers, and it may trouble the Bengals’ defense planning.
Ground Game and Aerial Assault: Bengals’ Offensive Edge
Zack Moss, the Bengals’ offense has found some rhythm in the rushing department. With 136 rushing yards and two touchdowns, Moss provides a reliable ground game option. Additionally, Ja’Marr Chase has been a standout in the receiving corps, accumulating 215 yards and two touchdowns. This dual-threat capability of the Bengals might be the key to unlocking the Panthers’ defense, which has shown vulnerability, especially at home.
Panthers’ Response on the Ground and Through the Air
On the other side, Chuba Hubbard has been a bright spot for Carolina, rushing for 192 yards, though he’s yet to find the end zone. Diontae Johnson leads the Panthers’ receivers with 156 yards and a touchdown. The Panthers will need more from these key players, especially in creating significant plays, to keep pace with the Bengals’ potential offensive spurts.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Carolina Panthers Betting Previews
When it comes to the struggle between these two teams, it would appear that the Bengals, notwithstanding their horrible start by losing all three games, are a team on the cusp of ordering themselves. It is possible that the likes of Burrow or Chase would take on the Panthers, who do not have a firm grip on their defense. On their part, the Panthers, led by Dalton, if they can show some guts and make the right plays could spring a surprise.
Overall, the Bengals are the favorites to win the game; however, the game could go either way, making the Panthers at +5.5 quite attractive. The total points line should be approached with caution as there are good spreads given the form of both defensive teams and bets should be placed on the top-ranked betting sites. Prop betting in terms of the quarterbacks’ performance is expected to be profitable for gamblers with plenty of prop options. Our score prediction supports Cincinnati winning the game, although not to the extent predicted.
Score Prediction: Bengals 24, Panthers 20.
