But it can be done. Here's how the WBZ team sees this game playing out. Steve Burton, WBZ-TV SportsBoth teams are coming off fluke games. Cincy erased a 17-point deficit and came back against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. And we all know what happened to the Patriots. The Bengals are riding a six-game winning streak, so they're due for a loss. Hopefully that happens in Foxboro. Patriots 28, Bengals 24Dan Roche, WBZ-TV SportsThe Patriots have done a good job at trying to turn the page from Sunday's gut-wrenching loss to the Raiders. However, the Bengals present a difficult challenge with their Burrow-Chase-Higgins combo. And here's an interesting stat: The Bengals are 16-4 in their last 20 road games with Burrow at QB.
5). Gregg Rosenthal, NFL. com: Bengals 24, Patriots 17. “I feel for New England’s defense. If Bill Belichick paired this group of playmakers with last year’s Josh McDaniels-led offense, the Patriots would probably be 9-5 right now. Instead, Belichick hired his buddies to run the offense, and the unit is among the most poorly coached in football. Cincinnati is too sound to give up consistent drives to this team, and the mismatches on the outside for the Bengals’ receivers will be too much for the Patriots to overcome. With the win, Cincy clinches its second straight postseason berth. ” NFL Pickwatch: Ninety percent, Bengals (-170).
” CBS Sports staff: All Bengals (-3. 5). ESPN staff: One of five pick the Pats. Michael Hurley, CBS Boston: Bengals (-3). “Look. How does a team respond to throwing a game away — and throwing their season away in the process — with two laterals at the end of a tie game? We just don’t know. We have no data to look back on to determine a trend. I’m leaning toward “poorly, ” though. ” Jimmy Kempski, PhillyVoice: Bengals (-3). “This line seems awfully low. The Bengals are rolling while the Patri*ts have been one of the worst coached teams in the NFL this season. ” Frank Schwab, Yahoo! Sports: Patriots (+3.
Patriots-Bengals Week 16 predictionsUpdated on: December 23, 2022 / 2:23 PM / CBS Boston Patriots 1st Down: Can the Patriots beat the Bengals on Christmas Eve? 01:41 BOSTON -- Last week was no fun for the Patriots. This week, with a home game on the day of Christmas Eve, they'll be looking to write a different story. Doing so won't be easy though, as the Patriots kick off their brutal three-game stretch to end the season with a date with the Cincinnati Bengals. Though the reigning AFC champs looked wounded to start the season, they figured things out, and they're riding a six-game winning streak into Foxboro. The Patriots? Well, we don't need to mention how their last game went. We know what they're rebounding from, and it'll be a big challenge to beat one of the best teams in the league after such a letdown.
This is the same guy who acted like Mary Decker after an injury that was about on par with a hangnail. But he should still take the moment and welcome the whiny persona. Rachel Dratch took the whole Eeyore persona to “Saturday Night Live. ” Mac should bring it to the NFL. Forget comparisons to Kirk Cousins. Try Jay Cutler.
How To Watch Bengals vs Patriots, Week 16: Live Stream and Game PredictionsThe Cincinnati Bengals hope to keep their win streak going but they'll have to do so against a New England Patriots team that is desperate for a win. The Patriots are 7-7 and still very much alive in the playoff hunt but they need a win against our beloved Bengals on Saturday to keep that dream alive. It's been awhile since these two teams have gone toe-to-toe and both teams are very different from that last matchup. After the Patriots spent two decades as the AFC's most feared team and one that always was a Super Bowl contender, they're now just a mediocre team searching for their identity in the post-Tom Brady era. The Bengals, on the other hand, have been to a Super Bowl more recently than the Patriots and hope to go to another one this season. They'll need to knock off the Pats this Saturday to keep their hold on the AFC North lead though.
The game will be televised on CBS. As of this writing, Cincinnati is favored by 3. 5 points over New England with a moneyline of -188. The Patriots' moneyline is +158 and the over/under for this game is at 41. 5 points. In an article from earlier this week, I said the Bengals would win by a final score of 33-20. I don't have much confidence in the Patriots' ability to move the football and while their defense is good, they won't be able to contain Joe Burrow and the lethal Bengals offense for the entire game. According to NFL Weather, it'll be a chilly 22 degrees when the Bengals and Patriots kick off on Saturday afternoon and it'll feel like a whopping 10 degrees with mostly cloudy skies. It won't warm up much throughout, as it'll only climb to 23 degrees by the fourth quarter and feel like 12 degrees with partly cloudy skies. Next.
Having to do it against a really good Bengals team will make it even tougher. Usually, a cold weather home game in late December was an easy W to pencil in for the Patriots. Those days were fun.

When the Patriots faced Tua Tagovailoa, Lamar Jackson, Aaron Rodgers, Kirk Cousins, Josh Allen and Derek Carr, they have lost. (They also lost to Justin Fields, though he doesn't' really fit in that list. )So now they have Joe Burrow. It doesn't look good. Bengals 33, Patriots 20 Matthew Geagan, CBS BostonHaving to come back after last weekend's devastating loss is tough enough.
How to Watch/Listen: Bengals at Patriots
the run defensively and thier diverse receiving weapons around Burrow will make it hard for Belichick to find enough bodies to take away key elements. ” Bill Bender, The Sporting News: Bengals 28, Patriots 24. “The Bengals are in top form with six straight victories, and the defense has allowed just 88. 3 rushing yards per game in that stretch. Can New England get that going to support Mac Jones against a strong pass rush? How will the Patriots get to Joe Burrow – who has 14 TDs and just four interceptions in that winning streak? The Bengals keep rolling on the road.
Jones (presumably, I mean, who knows what’s happening at this point) gets the start Saturday afternoon when the Patriots host the Bengals on what should be a frigid Gillette Stadium. Got tickets as a gift? Have fun. Olive Garden is only steps away. Let’s just say the Pats aren’t darlings this week. This week’s predictions: Globe staff: Five of six like the Bengals (-3).

NFL Bengals vs Patriots Predictions, Odds, Picks & Best Bets
Bengals 28, Patriots 17Michael Hurley, CBS BostonWe can all cook up some fun, intriguing scenarios where the Patriots put forth a late-season surge and make the playoffs. But I don't think it's happening. Consider this: The quarterbacks that the Patriots have beaten this year are Mitchell Trubisky, Jared Goff, Jacoby Brissett, Zach Wilson (twice), Sam Ehlinger, and Colt McCoy. Goff is the only good one on that list -- and even that feels like a stretch, despite the stats.

The decision to hand the offense to Matt Patricia has been disastrous. The situational football and game management have been among the worst in the NFL. For 20 years, we constantly heard about the Patriot Way, how ‘Belichick’s teams would never’ make the same boneheaded mistakes as other teams. Now? New England is sloppy pretty much every week.

What experts are predicting for Saturday's Patriots-Bengals gamePatriots The Patriots are only three-point underdogs, but many experts still expect them to lose on Saturday. Mac Jones has shown his frustration a lot in recent weeks. Will he be frustrated again or will the Patriots come away with a win on Saturday? Jim Davis/Globe Staff If sophomore quarterback Mac Jones really wants to expand on his brand, he’d embrace this opportunity under the microscope.

Sam Farmer, Los Angeles Times: Bengals 28, Patriots 17. “The Bengals have some of their playmakers back on offense but they are battling injuries on defense.
