Cincinnati Bengals vs. Seattle Seahawks: Spread Info, Line and Predictions

Sunday will give us an AFC vs. NFC battle when the Cincinnati Bengals travel west to take on the Seattle Seahawks.

The Bengals enter the game at 4-2, which is one-half game behind the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North, and tied with the Baltimore Ravens for second place.

The Seahawks enter at 2-4, second place in the NFC West, three games behind the San Francisco 49ers.

Where: CenturyLink Field. Seattle, Washington

When: Sunday, October 30 at 4:15 p.m. ET.

Watch: CBS

Spread: Bengals (-3), according to Footballlocks.

I like the Bengals to win and cover, and do so relatively easily. The Seahawks' offense is just not clicking right now. Cincinnati has a good, opportunistic offense that will carry the day.

Over/Under

37.5, according to Footballlocks. As you can see below, I am going with the under, but not by much. Still, I have a good feeling about this staying low. Neither offense is really impressing me as a unit that will score too many points.

Key Injuries

Bengals RB Cedric Benson (suspension), and LB Rey Maualuga (ankle) are out.

Bengals LB Thomas Howard (hamstring), CB Adam Jones (neck), and CB Morgan Trent (ankle) are questionable.

Bengals CB Nate Clements (knee), TE Jermaine Gresham (hamstring), CB Kelly Jennings (hamstring), and LB Dan Skuta (groin) are probable.

Seahawks DB Walter Thurmond (leg) is out for the season.

Seahawks QB Tarvaris Jackson (pectoral), and TE Zach Miller (neck, head) are questionable.

Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch (back), and DB Kam Chancellor (back) are probable.

Fantasy Big Plays

Bengals receiver A.J. Green is a great play. He's one of the top rookies in the NFL this year.

As you can tell by my final score below, I am expecting a field-goal dominated game. So, Bengals kicker Mike Nugent is a smart play.

With what's sure to be a run-centered offense, Marshawn Lynch, Leon Washington and even Justin Forsett are worth another look.

Keys to Seahawks' Win

The Seahawks' only chance at this game is to run the ball well, get an early lead and get the crowd into the game. Cincinnati is a better team that's playing much better than their opponent.

Keys to Bengals' Win

They can stack the line and make the Seahawks' passing game beat them. There is no chance that a banged-up Tarvaris Jackson or Charlie Whitehurst will come through on their own.

Prediction

The Seahawks' quarterback situation is just abysmal right now. Even at home, I just can't see them winning here. The Bengals are playing good football right now.
