The Bengals vs Panthers week four matchup features two of the NFL’s most surprising teams. The Bengals, who were expected to make a postseason push with star quarterback Joe Burrow back under center are hovering over the panic button after a winless start. Meanwhile, Carolina has experienced a disastrous start to former #1 overall pick Bryce Young’s sophomore season. Longtime Cincinnati QB Andy Dalton brought new life to his dying franchise after a surprise week three victory.

Bengals vs Panthers Prediction
Bengals 26, Panthers 20
The Bengals have faced their fair share of hurdles this season. Franchise cornerstone Joe Burrow is coming off a knee injury that cost him the latter half of the 2023 season. Superstar receiver Ja’Marr Chase also missed much of the club’s offseason activities during his contract negotiation. However, it is clear that this Bengals team is too talented to be at the basement of the league’s standings.
On the other hand, Carolina has been a roller coaster. The team hoped that Bryce Young would quickly rebound from a poor rookie season. However, the former Alabama star has already been benched in favor of Dalton, who instantly brought new life to the Panthers. The offense sprung to life in a 36-22 victory over the Raiders.
Things are looking up in Carolina, but Cincinnati is too talented not to be a heavy favorite.
Bengals vs Panthers Best Bets with bet365 Promo Code
Zack Moss Over 57.5 Rushing Yards (-110)
The Panthers’ offense looks rejuvenated. However, Carolina’s run defense remains one of the worst in football surrendering 151.3 rush yards per game. Zach Moss leads the Bengals with 136 yards (45.3 yards per game). He also leads backup Chase Brown in rushing attempts 33-to-14.
Brown is also a prime candidate to surpass his 28.5 rushing yard line, but Moss’ edge in opportunities set him up for a great day!
Ja’Marr Chase First Touchdown (+650)
If the Bengals are to right the ship, they must reestablish the Burrow-to-Chase connection. At its best, this duo has the ability to be the premier QB/WR tandem in football. The Panthers have a middle of the pack pass defense. However, if Burrow targets Chase as early and often as he should, Carolina will have no true answer.
Lock Chase in for 100+ yards and at least one touchdown.
