Week 14 MNF: Bengals vs Cowboys

Monday Night Football features an inter-conference showdown between the Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys in Week 14.

The Bengals (4-8) are coming off a thrilling defeat at the hands of the Steelers, while the Cowboys (5-7) have won two games in a row.

Let’s dive into the Bengals vs Cowboys matchup, including best bets and predictions for this Week 14 Monday Night Football game.

MNF Score Prediction: Bengals 27, Cowboys 24

The Bengals continue to play in high-scoring and closely contested games.

Joe Burrow is playing at an MVP level, ranking 6th in EPA per play with 30 touchdowns and only five interceptions.

Cincinnati's significant advantage at quarterback with Burrow over Cooper Rush makes it likely that they win this game.

The problem has been the Bengals' defense, ranking 28th in Pass EPA and 29th in Rush EPA.

Cincinnati has allowed 30+ points in four of their last five games.

With that in mind, it's tough to rely on this team to win by six or more points, even against the Cowboys.

Look for the Bengals to prevail, but in a closer game than expected.

Now let’s give you a sneak peek of our best bets:

MNF Over/Under Pick: Bengals @ Cowboys Over 49.5 Points (-112)

I know it's Cooper Rush under center, but the Cowboys have still been able to put up 61 points in their last two games.

This is a great spot against the Bengals, who turn every game into a shootout -- just take a look:

• L 44-38 to Steelers

• L 34-27 to Chargers

• L 35-34 to Ravens

• W 41-24 vs Raiders

• L 37-17 vs Eagles

Expect a higher-scoring game, so take the Over here.

🏒 NHL Parlays

Top NHL Parlay (+324)

• Blackhawks @ Rangers: Under 6 Goals (-112)

• Ducks ML (+124) @ Canadiens

Friday’s top NHL parlay (+183) cashed, as the Devils, Wild, and Canucks all won outright. Let’s see if we can successfully bookend the weekend with this two-leg play.

I’ll start with the Under in the interconference matchup between the New York Rangers (14-11-1) and Chicago Blackhawks (8-17-2). New York is coming off a 7-5 home loss to the Kraken on Sunday afternoon in which Jonathan Quick conceded six goals on 21 shots. However, the Blueshirts should be more stable with Igor Shesterkin between the pipes, especially against a Blackhawks offense scoring the second-fewest goals in the NHL (2.41).

I also like the Anaheim Ducks (10-12-3) to defeat the Montreal Canadiens (10-14-3) at the Bell Centre. Anaheim has won three consecutive road contests and is 5-3-2 on its travels this season. It also had the weekend off after losing to Minnesota at home on Friday, whereas Montreal lost to Washington at home on Saturday. Look for the Ducks to take advantage of a 29th-ranked Habs defense that allows 3.59 goals per game.

🏈 College Football Playoffs

The NCAA college football playoff bracket is set, with the following first-round matchups:

• (12) Clemson vs (5) Texas

These teams have a first-round bye:

Can anyone stop the Oregon Ducks (13-0)?
