NFL Week 13 Picks: Cincinnati Bengals vs. San Diego Chargers

The Cincinnati Bengals (6-5) will take on the San Diego Chargers (4-7) on Sunday afternoon at Qualcomm Stadium, with the opening kickoff scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS.

Sports bettors will find that the Chargers are currently one-point home underdogs in the Week 13 NFL betting odds (courtesy of SBR Forum), while the total stands at 46 in the market.

Let's take a closer look at this AFC matchup from a betting perspective, while offering a pro football prediction along the way.

Cincinnati Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals have averaged 426 yards of total offense in their last four road games, which can certainly continue due to the recent play of their second-year quarterback.

Andy Dalton has thrown for nine touchdowns and zero interceptions during the team's three-game win streak, with the Bengals out-gaining their last two opponents by a triple-digit margin.

San Diego Chargers

The San Diego Chargers are three games under .500 heading into Week 13, but they've managed to outscore their opponents by a 245-237 combined margin.

Sports bettors will find it hard to back this AFC West squad due to their 0-2 ATS mark as a home underdog of three or fewer points this season.

Prediction

I'm going to recommend that readers play the Cincinnati Bengals to score 24 or more points in this contest, as the OVER is 6-0 in the last six meetings in this AFC series.
