Watt has played 13 games against the bengals, he has 12 sacks.  TJ watt has 96.5 sacks over 104 games, meaning he has gotten 12.5% of his career sacks against the bengals.

Myles Garrett has played 10 games against the bengals, he has 12 sacks.  Myles Garrett has 88.5 sacks over 100 games, meaning he has gotten 13.5% of his sacks against the bengals.  

These two have combined for 24 sacks in 23 games, whereas they have 185 sacks against 204 games for their career.  If you remove the bengals from the equation, they have 161 sacks against 181 games.

Garrett/Watt v bengals, 1.04 sacks/game
Garrett/Watt v nfl non bengals, .89 sacks/game

Watt has sacked the bengals at least .5 or more times in 10/13 games.  In 3 games, watt has had a goose egg (in the sack dept) against the bengals.

Garrett has sacked the bengals at least 1 or more times in 9/10 games.  In 1 game, Garrett was held without a sack.  

I’ll set the over under at 4 sacks combined for these two, where are you laying the money?  Over or under?

I’ll set the over under at 1 game, out of 4, that one of them is held without a sack.  Over or under?

I’m going to say under for both.  No reason, just a pure gut feel.  

Btw, this all came from a recent discussion that burrow had regarding having to treat TJ watt as a DB and the stars were astounding.

good run game is an answer for a pass rush
