Betting Trends & Tips for Washington & Bengals

ASHBURN, Va. -- It does not get any bigger than a Thanksgiving appetizer this Sunday of the two-win Cincinnati Bengals and the equally two-win Washington Football Team.
Two win apiece. 13 losses and a tie combined as well, but who's counting?
The two teams with the top two picks from the past NFL Draft. Joe Burrow vs. Chase Young. That should get you in a lather.
If it doesn't - maybe you can try and make a little extra cash for your Thanksgiving feast?
Let's get you set up with some information. The Washington Football Team are one-point favorites (-1), which is lower than the traditional three-point home favorite margin.
It's for good reason. Not only is Joe Burrow already very dangerous but Washington doesn't deserve any benefit of the doubt. However...
- Per BetQL, Washington has a 52.3% chance to beat the Bengals in Week 11.
- Ron Rivera’s teams have gone 25-9 against the spread (ATS) coming off a road loss over his entire career.
- Ron Rivera’s teams have gone 44-21 ATS after playing a road game over his entire career.
- Per BetQL, over 90% of total money wagered is backing the over, which is 47 points.
If you're considering the first half over/under, the Washington Football Team is on average being outscored 16.4 (148/9) - 8.0 (72/9).
Currently, the Bengals are projected under the same model to outlast the WFT by a robust 12-11 margin in the first half. The first-half line is Washington -0.5 for whatever that's worth.
At some point, Washington has to show up at 1:02 pm instead of 2:35 pm, right?
As of Friday morning, 64% of the money coming in is on the Bengals, because of the small line and Burrow's ascension, I would imagine this is going to go up over the weekend.
Nobody has faith in Washington despite Cincinnati being not very good either.

If you believe in computer simulations, a couple of notable items per BetQL.com:
*The Cincinnati Bengals won 54% of game simulations.
*Cincinnati commits fewer turnovers in 53% of simulations and they go on to win 76% when they take care of the ball. The Washington wins 71% of the simulations in which they commit fewer turnovers.
Washington only has nine takeaways on the year and a minus-7 turnover differential. Three of those nine came in a week one win over the Eagles, so in their last eight games total, they've only forced six.
The Bengals have a minus-three turnover differential on the year.
*If the WFT decide to 'run the damn ball' -- a note you should consider. Antonio Gibson is averaging 82 rushing yards per simulations for this game. If he gets there and at least one rushing touchdown (42% chance), Washington chances for winning goes from 52.3% to 68%.
