The Cincinnati Bengals (0-2) play the Washington Commanders (1-1) on Monday, September 23, 2024 at Paycor Stadium. The Bengals are notable favorites in this one, with the spread sitting at 7.5

Week 3 thus finds Cincinnati truly desperate for a win. As a reminder, since 1990 only 4 of 162 teams have made the playoffs after starting a season with three consecutive losses (2.5%). On the other side of the field, Washington looks to add to any momentum gained in last week’s win and to keep pace atop the NFC East with Philadelphia and Dallas.
