Washington Commanders at Cincinnati Bengals Preview

The Washington Commanders, fresh off a narrow 21-18 victory over the New York Giants, are set to face the Cincinnati Bengals in a Monday Night Football showdown. The Commanders, under the new leadership of head coach Dan Quinn, are looking to build on their momentum after securing their first win of the season. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels has shown promise, completing 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards in the win against the Giants, while also contributing 44 rushing yards. The Commanders' offense, however, will need to find the end zone more consistently, as all their points last week came from kicker Austin Seibert's record-setting seven field goals.

On the other side, the Cincinnati Bengals are in search of their first win of the season after a heartbreaking 26-25 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite the loss, quarterback Joe Burrow delivered a solid performance, throwing for 258 yards and two touchdowns. The Bengals have struggled to start the season, marking the third consecutive year they have opened 0-2 under head coach Zac Taylor. However, they remain a formidable opponent, especially at home, and are favored to win this matchup.

The Commanders will need to rely on their defense to contain Burrow and the Bengals' offense, which features emerging talents like Andrei Iosivas and Mike Gesicki. Meanwhile, the Bengals will aim to exploit any weaknesses in the Commanders' defense, which has shown vulnerability in their season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As both teams look to establish their footing early in the season, this matchup promises to be a compelling contest under the bright lights of Monday Night Football.

Washington Commanders at Cincinnati Bengals Pick: Cincinnati Bengals Moneyline

The Cincinnati Bengals are poised to secure their first victory of the season against the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football. Despite their 0-2 start, the Bengals have shown resilience, particularly in their narrow 26-25 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, where quarterback Joe Burrow demonstrated his prowess with 258 passing yards and two touchdowns. The Bengals' offense, featuring emerging talents like Andrei Iosivas and Mike Gesicki, has the potential to exploit the Commanders' defense, which struggled in their season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Moreover, the Bengals have a history of bouncing back from early-season setbacks under head coach Zac Taylor. Playing at home in Paycor Stadium provides an additional advantage, as the Bengals are known for their strong performances in front of their home crowd. The Commanders, while coming off a win against the Giants, relied heavily on kicker Austin Seibert's seven field goals, indicating potential issues in their ability to convert drives into touchdowns. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels has shown promise, but the Commanders' offense will need to be more dynamic to compete with a Bengals team eager to turn their season around.

Given the Bengals' offensive capabilities and the Commanders' reliance on field goals for scoring, Cincinnati is well-positioned to capitalize on their home-field advantage and secure a much-needed win. The Bengals are favored in this matchup, and their determination to avoid a third consecutive 0-3 start under Taylor makes them a strong pick for the moneyline.

Washington Commanders at Cincinnati Bengals Top Player Prop Picks

Jayden Daniels Over 226.5 Passing Yards Passing Yards -110 (DraftKings)

Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels has shown promise in his first two NFL games, particularly in the Commanders' recent victory over the New York Giants. Daniels completed 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards, demonstrating accuracy and poise under pressure. With the Bengals' defense having shown vulnerabilities in their previous matchups, particularly against the pass, Daniels is well-positioned to exceed his passing yardage from last week. The Commanders will likely rely on his arm to keep pace with the Bengals' potent offense, making the over on his passing yards a compelling choice.

Joe Burrow Over 258.5 Passing Yards Passing Yards -110 (DraftKings)

Joe Burrow has been a consistent performer for the Bengals, even in their early-season struggles. In their narrow loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Burrow threw for 258 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing his ability to lead the offense effectively. Facing a Commanders defense that has shown susceptibility to the pass, particularly in their season opener against the Buccaneers, Burrow is poised to have another strong outing. With the Bengals eager to secure their first win of the season, expect Burrow to air it out, making the over on his passing yards a strong bet.

Austin Seibert Over 1.5 Field Goals Made -120 (BetRivers)

Austin Seibert was the hero for the Commanders in their win over the Giants, setting a franchise record with seven field goals. His reliability and accuracy have been crucial for a Commanders offense that has struggled to find the end zone. Given the Bengals' defensive capabilities and the Commanders' recent reliance on Seibert's leg, it's likely that Washington will once again turn to their kicker to put points on the board. With the Commanders potentially facing a tough Bengals defense, Seibert's field goal opportunities should be plentiful, making the over on his field goals made a smart play.
