Match context: Cincinnati Bengals vs Arizona Cardinals 
Arizona comes into this one with nothing real to play for in the standings and obvious structural issues. After a 2–0 start the Cardinals have collapsed, piling up losses while the defense keeps leaking. Kyler Murray is out for the rest of the season and Jacoby Brissett runs a mostly aerial attack — high volume, but with almost no support from the ground game.
Cincinnati, by contrast, finishes the season much sharper since Joe Burrow returned. The Bengals are still up and down, but the offense has found rhythm again, shown by that offensive clinic against Miami last week. The season’s a write-off overall, but Cincinnati’s been playing far better for several weeks.
Key factors in the Cincinnati Bengals 
vs Arizona Cardinals 
The defining factor is the mismatch between the Bengals’ passing attack and the Cardinals’ defense. Arizona gives up huge yardage and points, especially through the back seven, and Joe Burrow arrives full of confidence with a trio of receivers ready to punish any mistake.
Arizona can score through the air — the Bengals’ defense is one of the most permissive in the league, especially versus the pass. Brissett should find Trey McBride and the intermediate targets regularly. But the lack of a running game and the defense’s inability to get stops will likely doom the Cardinals over the long haul.

Over 50.5 total points in the game.
Everything points to an open, high-scoring game. Cincinnati has too many weapons and faces an Arizona defense in real trouble, while the Cardinals still have receiving talent that will add to the scoreboard. The gap should widen gradually in favor of the Bengals.
First, a word about our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We give an opinion, a snapshot read, never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a fluke score… and the whole script flips.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when it looks “obvious”, nothing truly is. Yes, that means you can lose. It will happen at some point.
- Do this sensibly. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live. And don’t chase losses — that rarely ends well.
- Betting should be a game, not a job or a source of income. If it’s taking over your life, stressing you or making you act out, take a break. If needed, talk to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, responsibility lies with you. Reading our content means you accept that risk exists and won’t disappear, not even with the best analysis in the world.
- Important reminder: betting is prohibited for minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can quickly go wrong (money lost, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions aren’t a contract. They carry no legal weight. In short: you can’t use them to claim anything if a bet loses.
Info can change
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. In the meantime a lineup (like the Cardinals’) can change, a player can get hurt, the weather can turn… and the analysis can become outdated fast. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before betting, just check that wagering is legal where you are. If it isn’t, that’s your responsibility, not ours.
Responsible gambling above all
We’ll say it again: play in moderation. If you’re losing control, get help sooner rather than later. We can’t be held responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the info published on the site.
