The Cincinnati Bengals have life. Despite a slow start to the season, the Bengals find themselves in contention in the AFC North. The Los Angeles Chargers are doing all they can to keep up with the Kansas City Chiefs, sitting 6-3 behind a three-game win streak as they host Sunday Night Football. The Bengals certainly wear the desperation a little stronger, but that desperate smell is starting to come from the Chargers — if only to keep up with the undefeated Chiefs in the standings. We should expect some offense tonight; here is your top Bengals-Chargers anytime touchdown bet to take advantage.
Bengals-Chargers Anytime Touchdown Bet for Sunday
We have an offense that should match up well in both the run and game. Everything makes sense on paper until they play the games. Add a primetime element, and you may see someone forget how to play football. The reality is we can’t on the Chargers facing a brutal defense when it comes to efficiency. That is key if Cincinnati can’t get Los Angeles off the field on third down.
With Justin Herbert playing sharp and currently healthy, it’s safe to expect the Greg Roman-led offense will find ways to exploit some massive holes in Cincinnati’s game plan. The issue for us is determining who has the better chance of scoring — someone like J.K. Dobbins on the ground or a target in the air from Herbert. While far from an embarrassment of riches, we have a rare chance to tail a home team’s offense in a more than favorable matchup in primetime.
The last part is what’s pushing me towards a running back. The value is on Edwards mainly because he’s back from injury and the number seems to reflect more of an unknown. The known factor to me is this game should trend under the 48-point total. The Bengals haven’t looked horrid on defense over the past few games, and the Chargers have talent but play to a slower pace under their head coach. A game script to follow that would indicate Edwards has greater than a +260 chance to score.
I’m taking Edwards to score tonight anytime throughout the game in any capacity. The Chargers are best served playing to the funnel on Cincinnati’s defense, which is still on the ground. The Bengals will try to take away the outside and force Herbert more middle and underneath. Maybe Edwards will make his second grab of the year for a score, but I’ll take the more obvious path on the ground.
