Bengals vs Commanders Preseason Betting Prediction

The Cincinnati Bengals and Washington Commanders meet in Week 2 of the NFL preseason on August 16, and this game offers plenty of betting intrigue. From a betting perspective, this preseason matchup could come down to situational trends and depth performance. Cincinnati’s strong late-season finish and spread dominance suggest they are capable of controlling the pace early, but Washington’s home-field energy and recent big-game performances can’t be ignored. If the Commanders’ offense continues its aggressive style from the postseason, they may be able to dictate the tempo, forcing Cincinnati into a more open game. Conversely, if the Bengals’ recent road struggles in August persist, Washington could once again find themselves on top. For bettors, the angles are clear: watch the spread closely, weigh the total against conflicting trends, and remember that preseason depth charts often have the final say.

Bengals vs Commanders Preseason Betting Prediction: Cincinnati

The Cincinnati Bengals and Washington Commanders meet in Week 2 of the NFL preseason on August 16, and this game offers plenty of betting intrigue. Cincinnati comes in riding a positive trend against the spread, going 4-2 ATS in their last six games and showing a knack for pushing games over the total. The Bengals have also excelled on the road in regular-season action, posting a 7-3 mark in their last ten away games. However, preseason history tells a different story—Cincinnati has gone winless in their last five August road games, and they have struggled against Washington lately, managing only one win in their past six head-to-head meetings. This presents bettors with an interesting contrast between short-term form and long-term matchup history.

Bengals vs Commanders Preseason Betting Prediction: Washington

On the other side, Washington has been one of the league’s most surprising teams in recent months. They have gone 7-2 overall in their last nine games and delivered several statement wins, including big playoff victories against Detroit and Tampa Bay. Offensively, they’ve been lighting up scoreboards, with five of their last seven games going over the total and every single one of their last five home games clearing the over. Despite this offensive surge, their games versus Cincinnati have often leaned toward the under, with four of the last six meetings finishing below the total. This makes predicting the game total tricky, as Washington’s current scoring pace collides with their historically lower-scoring battles against the Bengals.

Bengals vs Commanders Preseason Betting Prediction: Washington Trends

• Five of Washington’s most recent seven games have resulted in the total going over.
• In its last nine games, Washington has a winning percentage of 7-2.
• During Washington’s last six games versus Cincinnati, the total has been under in four of those games.
• In five of Washington’s most recent five games played at home, the total has been over.
• Over the course of the last five games that Washington has played at home against Cincinnati, the total has been under in four of those games.
• The Washington Redskins have a winning record of 5-2 in their previous seven games against teams that are members of the American Football Conference North division.
• After five games played in August, Washington has a record of 1-4 against the spread.
• In its last five games played on Mondays, Washington has a perfect 5-0 overall record.
• When playing as the underdog, Washington has a record of 6-13 against the spread in its last 19 games.
