Rams @ Bengals tips: Game pick and best prop bets for Monday Night Football
The Cincinnati Bengals will be desperate for a win when they face the red-hot LA Rams at Paul Brown Stadium on Monday Night Football (Tues 00:15 BST).
Rams @ Bengals game pick
The Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals, who met in Super Bowl LVI, will meet again for the first time since then on Monday Night Football.
Joe Burrow was efficiently marching his side down the field to at least tie the game when Aaron Donald, three times defensive player of the year, did his thing.
This is a very different-looking Rams team these days and there’s no guarantee Burrow, who picked up a calf strain last time out, will suit up.
Pressure is mounting on the Bengals who will not want to start 0-3 and they may be forced to turn to the run game and Joe Mixon on MNF, which is no bad thing.
Matthew Stafford has been great thus far but the Bengal's defence will no the importance of stepping up to held give an ailing Burrow the best chance possible.
Bet: Cincinnati Bengals to win
Rams @ Bengals prop bets
As mentioned above, the Bengals could have to rely heavily on Mixon and their running game. He was responsible for 59 of 66 rushing yards last week.
Prop: Joe Mixon to score a touchdown
Ja’Marr Chase is on the joint-second-longest five-catch game streak in the NFL, pulling in at least five in his 10 previous starts. He’s the chief target for Burrow.
Prop: Ja’Marr Chase to score a touchdown
The Rams have executed well in the red zone and Kyren Williams is a big reason why. They’re five of six inside the 20 and he can score in the air or on the floor.
