The Eagles and Bengals come into Thursday night’s game from opposite directions. The Bengals are coming off a last second 20-19 loss to the Cowboys, while the Eagles are coming off a last second, losing streak ending 23-21 win over the Buccaneers. Their records don’t show it but according to the stats they are pretty evenly matched.  The last time these teams met it was one of the ugliest football games The Sports Den ever saw, a 13-13 tie in Cincinnati in 2008, remember that? What the Eagles must do to win, offensively run the ball better to keep the Bengals pressure off Foles, the Bengals are 3rd in AFC in sacks with 32. Defensively they have to limit Andy Dalton and A.J. Greene. This is a must win for the Bengals in order to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, while the Eagles will be looking to play the role of spoiler again.
Prediction: Eagles 5 – Bengals 3 

Line:  Bengals  -4.5
