It's pretty clear that odds-makers don't quite know what to make of the San Francisco 49ers and Cincinnati Bengals. Both teams are 1-1 and coming off close losses in Week 2. The Bengals opened as just 1-point favorites, but that has moved anywhere from 2 points to 3 points, depending on where you look. The over/under has stayed pretty steady at 40-40.5 points.
NFL Odds Week 3: 49ers Vs. Bengals
NFL oddsmakers don’t seem to know what to make of the matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Cincinnati Bengals.
How good any of those bets look probably depends heavily on your opinion of starting quarterbacks Alex Smith and Andy Dalton. Neither has been asked to do a whole lot in their teams' first two games.
Smith has only been asked to throw 44 passes all season and, as a result, has just 303 yards. His 95.2 QB Rating speaks to his relative effectiveness, but it remains to be seen if he has really turned the corner.
Dalton, a rookie out of TCU, has only attempted 56 passes, but has looked good when he drops back. He has thrown three touchdowns and has yet to be intercepted.
