Why the Bengals can cover
Quarterback Joe Burrow is one of the top players at his position due to his ability to layer throws in between defenders and create big plays. The LSU product is sixth in the NFL in passing yards (1,370), first in passing touchdowns (12), and second in QBR (73.6). He has two games with 300-plus passing yards and at least three passing scores. Last week, Burrow tossed 392 yards and five passing touchdowns.
Receiver Ja’Marr Chase is an explosive playmaker who has the speed to take any catch to the endzone. In 2024, the 24-year-old is eighth in receptions (29), second in receiving yards (493), and first in receiving touchdowns (5). In his last outing, Chase had 10 catches (12 targets) for 193 yards and two touchdowns. See who to back at SportsLine.
Why the Giants can cover
Quarterback Daniel Jones is looking to build off two solid performances in a row. Jones has thrown for at least 230 passing yards in three consecutive games. The Duke product also has the athleticism to pick up yards with his legs. Jones has thrown for 1,138 yards with six passing touchdowns in 2024. In his last outing versus the Seahawks, Jones went 23-of-34 for 257 yards and two passing touchdowns.
Receiver Wan’Dale Robinson excels in the slot and uses his short-area burst to shake defenders. The Kentucky product has logged 32 receptions for 230 yards, and two touchdowns. On Sept. 26 versus the Cowboys, Robinson has 11 grabs for 71 yards. See who to back at SportsLine.
