Sunday Night Football Prop Bets Week 11: Bengals Playoff Hopes Fading

• The Bengals are 4-6 and in third place in the AFC North 

• Joe Burrow leads the league in passing yards with 2,672 

• Justin Herbert has thrown just one interception all season

The Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back on track after another heartbreaking loss last week. The Bengals were defeated by the Ravens 35-34 on a failed two-point conversion, causing their playoff dreams to drift off even further. 

Cincinnati has a great chance of responding this week against Los Angeles, but it’s hard to trust them to win games. They have an elite offense, but the defense hasn’t been reliable. 

When betting on the Bengals, we know their stars will post big numbers. Therefore, we’re looking at Sunday Night Football from a prop betting perspective.

Joe Burrow Over 266.5 Passing Yards (-114) at FanDuel 

Joe Burrow would be the NFL MVP frontrunner if his team won football games. Instead, Burrow’s best football of his career is being wasted by a bad defense and incompetent coaching. 

Bengals head coach Zac Taylor has made some questionable decisions this season, which have canceled out great play from Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase. 

The duo has been the best in the NFL, as Burrow leads the league in passing and Chase in receiving. However, the team is fighting for their playoff dreams and will be for the remainder of the season. 

The Bengals have some challenging games left of their schedule, but everything is winnable moving forward. They can only afford to lose one to two more games in the back half of the year to have a legitimate chance of making the postseason.

Burrow's right arm is one reason we have confidence in the Bengals. The quarterback has thrown for 2,672 yards and 24 touchdowns, both of which are first in the league. 

He has the third-best QBR in the NFL at 74.3 and has only thrown four interceptions. The Bengals also have an incompetent rushing attack, which has helped Burrow rack up yards through the air.

The Chargers' defense is solid in all aspects. Yet Burrow and Chase are good enough to beat any unit in the NFL.

Justin Herbert Over 230.5 Passing Yards (-110) at FanDuel

The Chargers have a team that can win in multiple ways. They didn’t start tapping into their franchise quarterback, Justin Herbert, but it has paid dividends for the team lately. 

Jim Harbaugh has started to trust Herbert more, leading to many games where he has thrown for close to 300 yards. Even though Herbert plays for a team that leans on the run, it doesn’t mean he can’t spin the football. 

Herbert is just 21st in passing yards with 1,889 this season. However, he has thrown for 11 touchdowns with just one interception, so he has made the od nearly every drive. 

The Bengals have one of the worst passing defenses in the NFL, which allows Herbert to have a massive game through the air. 

The last reason to take Herbert’s passing yards prop over is because he will have to keep pace with the Bengals. If Cincinnati can have a similar game to last week, Herbert will be in the same position to rack up close to 300 yards.

Chase Brown Over 27.5 Receiving Yards (-114) at FanDuel 

The Bengals haven’t been able to run the ball at all this season. Yet, Chase Brown is still an elite fantasy runner because he always gets his touches, and 27.5 is a low line for a player being used as a safety valve. 

We’re taking the over for Brown’s receiving yards line at 27.5. Brown has five touchdowns on the season and has gone over in two of his pas three games. 

The Bengals' scheme with Brown is working. We believe he will play three straight games over his line.
