The Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Chargers enter Week 11 with their seasons having different trajectories.
At the start of the season, there was MVP chatter about Joe Burrow and a possible Super Bowl appearance for the Cincinnati Bengals. However, at 4-6, the Bengals need to start picking up more wins if they even want a shot at the playoffs.
The Chargers, on the other hand, entered the season with a bit of mystery. They brought in former Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh. Harbaugh, the brother of John Harbaugh, brought his beast of a defensive coordinator with him from Michigan.
Jesse Minter has this Chargers defense humming. They are holding teams to just 13.1 points per game, the lowest tally in the league.
This week’s matchup is pivotal to the success of each team’s season, but it’s the Bengals who enter the week with the most pressure.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
NBC Sports analyst Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is eyeing Cincinnati +105:
“I trust this is a legit defense the Chargers have. They probably are a better team than the Bengals, too; however, getting this Bengals team as a dog with how well they have been playing recently is something I am interested in.
If you remember, the Bengals started the season off slowly last season. When we got into the heart of the schedule, the Bengals picked it up and made a push. They may get Tee Higgins services back this week as well. It feels hard to pass up on Burrow at this number.”
