Cincinnati Bengals vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers December 18 Prop Betting Preview

The Cincinnati Bengals will take their five game win streak on the road to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. The Bengals come into this game with a record of 9-4 which puts them in first in the AFC North. Despite having a 6-7 record, the Buccaneers are in first in the NFC South by one game.

Cincinnati won the Battle for Ohio last weekend by a score of 23-10 against the Cleveland Browns. Joe Burrow threw for two touchdowns to Ja’Marr Chase and Trenton Irwin and Semaje Perine added one touchdown on the ground. The Bengals defense held strong against Deshaun Watson in his second game back from his lengthy suspension by the NFL.

The Buccaneers picked up their seventh loss of the season as they fell to the San Francisco 49ers by a score of 35-7. Tom Brady accounted for one throwing touchdown in the loss on an eight-yard pass to Russell Gage. Unfortunately, for the Buccaneers, this touchdown was the last score of the game after they were already down 35.

Cincinnati Over 2.5 Touchdowns (-129)

In the past five matchups, the Bengals have gone over this mark four times which includes two road games and three home games. Joe Burrow is finding his groove at the right point in the season, and his ability to take over games makes this prop bet even more tempting to take. Not only to mention that the Bengals have gotten Joe Mixon back, which makes the running game more dangerous.

Cincinnati Win By 1-13 Points (+109)

I love the Bengals to continue their winning streak, but it won’t be easy on the road against one of the greatest players to ever play football, Tom Brady. I don’t see Tom Brady getting blown out again, especially at home, but I also don’t see the Buccaneers winning this game with the performances they’ve put together this year. The line is set at 3.5 points in the favor of the Bengals, which gives them a margin of error for this bet to hit if they win by more.

Tampa Bay Under 1.5 Field Goals (-118)

The Buccaneers have elected to stray away from Ryan Succop this season. In their last five games, Succop has had eight field goal attempts, with four of those games only having one. Out of those five games, he has only made five of those eight attempts. Not only is Tampa Bay steering clear of their Succop, but he is also not making the most of his chances which makes this prop bet even more likely to hit.
