NFL odds Week 16: How to bet Bengals-Patriots
The New England Patriots look to continue their recent dominance over the Cincinnati Bengals when the NFL teams meet Saturday.
Bill Belichick & Co. have won three in a row and seven of the past eight games against the Bengals. New England, which leads the all-time series 17-9, will try to bounce back from Sunday's stunning loss to the Raiders.
Here's everything you need from a betting perspective on the Bengals-Patriots game, from the point spread, moneyline, total Over/Under and expert pick (odds via FOX Bet):

Pick via Gambling Analyst Sam Panayotovich:
The whole world is betting on the Bengals here, yet the line isn’t budging off 3 at most sportsbooks across America.
Hmmm.
It’s no secret that Bill Belichick-led teams are always more dangerous when the calendar flips to the winter months. Gillette Stadium is known for its bone-chilling cold fronts in December and January, and Foxboro is probably one of the last places Joe Burrow & Co. wants to play this weekend.
The Patriots are just a different monster in 20-degree weather. They embrace physical football behind a power running game and strong defensive front. And I can’t wait to see how Belichick schemes for Cincinnati’s pass-heavy offense and star receiver Ja’Marr Chase. It should be a good one.
FOX Bet is giving us +3.5, and that works for me. Take the points.
PICK: Patriots (+3.5 at FOX Bet at time of pick) to lose by fewer than 3.5 points (or win outright)
