At +170 to win straight up, Cincinnati is being backed by 65% of the handle and also 65% of the wagers. The Bengals are getting 4 points and they are inspiring 57% of the money and 61 percent of the bets against the spread. As for the total, Over 48.5 is getting 57% of both the handle and the bets.
