The Jacksonville Jaguars and Cincinnati Bengals face off on Thursday in a Week 4 NFL game.
Which team will get the victory?
Check out these NFL Week 4 picks and predictions for the game, which can be seen at 5:20 p.m. MST time on NFL Network.
The Bengals are a 7.5-point favorite in the game.
Sportsnaut: Jaguars 31, Bengals 28
Andew Buller-Russ writes: "Should be an epic battle duel between the past two No. 1 overall picks in Lawrence and Joe Burrow, but frankly, it’s more realistic to expect the Jaguars’ younger defense to step up than Cincinnati’s dreadful front seven. Jacksonville should be able to play keep-away, and the Bengals’ poor home turnout will only work to the visitors’ advantage."
The Game Day: Bengals 24, Jaguars 17
Anthony Cervino writes: "Jacksonville’s defense is amongst the league’s worst in total yards and points allowed. They are also bottom-dwellers in turnover differential and have difficulties pressuring the enemy quarterback. On the other side, I am not saying the Bengals’ defense is elite. In fact, they are far from it. But they are slightly better than average in the right matchup. Getting the Jaguars is the right matchup for the Bengals to pop in all phases. Expect the Bengals to control the game. However, the final score will make it seem a lot closer than it will actually be. Look for a late garbage-time touchdown from the Jaguars to keep this game within one score. But when it is all said and done, the Bengals will come out victorious."
Draft Kings: Bengals will cover against Jaguars
Teddy Ricketson writes: "The early pick here is the Bengals to cover the spread and for the under to hit. The Jaguars just can’t seem to hold onto leads and come out of the half worse than they started their games. The Bengals are making the correct halftime adjustments and their defense is stepping up to help keep them in games. Their lone loss of the season was a three-point loss to the Chicago Bears. While the Jaguars' defense is horrible, the Bengals' last two games have seen combined scores under 40 so that’s why the under looks favorable."
Top Bet: Bengals 27, Jaguars 20
It writes: "How about them, Bengals? Cincinnati is now above .500 after defeating AFC North rivals Pittsburgh Steelers on the road last Sunday to the tune of a 24-10 score. Rookie wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase has a lot to do with the mildly surprising start to the season by the Bengals, who are averaging 22.7 points per game. Chase posted glittering numbers again in Week 3, catching four of five targets for 65 receiving yards and two touchdowns. His rapport with Joe Burrow has been on full display, and the high draft capital the Bengals used to select Chase is definitely paying huge dividends. On defense, expect the Bengals to be all over Trevor Lawrence. Cincinnati’s defense has 10 sacks across three games. The Bengals sacked Ben Roethlisberger last Sunday four times."
Picks and Parlays: Bengals 30, Jaguars 23
It writes: "The Jaguars were in position to win on Sunday, but were plagued by costly turnovers. The Bengals are riding high and will win at home in a game that goes over the total."
Free Tips: Go with the Bengals to cover against Jaguars
Leigh Copson writes: "Cincinnati are hardly the NFL’s elite but this Jacksonville team has been horrible through three games. The defense is getting gashed and the offense is turning the ball over routinely. This is a great chance for the Bengals to string together a couple of wins. They can win and cover."
