[ABC] The boys from the Queen City are on the AFC road under the Monday Night Lights taking on the Big Cats of Jacksonville. The Bengals are coming off a tough loss to the Steelers last week losing 16 to 10. With Joe Burrow lost for the season they had to call on Jake Browning to make his first start against the Steelers. In that game the Cats from the Queen City managed to get just ten first downs. The Bengals have struggled all season to run the football and that is something they could certainly use in this situation with Browning making just his second start. Browning should be better prepared this week but that doesn't mean he is ready to keep this game within the number against a Jaguars team that is playing well right now. The Queen City defense leaves a lot to be desired allowing Pittsburgh to have their first 400-yard game in more than two years. The season is over for the most part for the Bengals, but the Jags are having a huge season holding the lead in the AFC South after going on the road and defeating the Houston Texans last week. Jacksonville is off to their best start since the 07 campaign with an 8-3 record. No chance this Jaguars team gets caught looking past the Bengals because the Bengals have controlled this series of late posting a record of 6-4 SU the last ten meetings. The Jags will not pull their foot off the accelerator tonight. The Bengals are 1-8 ATS on the Monday night road. They are also just 1-6 ATS versus the AFC and 0-4 ATS versus the division. The Jaguars on the other hand are 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS as favorites under the lights on Monday night. The TPR Index projects a point advantage of 14.89 points. The MM projects a point differential of +6.44 points against the current line range. The SIM Matrix has the Jacksonville Jaguars with a 73.86 percent advantage against the oddsmakers number. Without Burrow under center Cincy head coach Zac Taylor is only 4-20 SU and 10-14 ATS. Tonight, the Jags are active in one of our favorite power systems that doesn’t come around often but when it does it has been solid, and it has never lost on Monday night. Play ON a favorite of nine or more points off two division contests in its last two games (not a Monday home SU win in its last game) vs. an opponent off two division games in the last two weeks, scoring less than thirty-one points last week, 20-1 ATS covering the spread by an average of 12.26 points per game. With significant support for the Big Cats of Florida we will lay the chalk as they get a huge win over a disinterested group from the Queen City.
