The biggest news is whether or not Lamar will start; according to media reports at the time of writing this analysis, it’s still a 50/50 situation—likely a game-time decision. But even if he does play, I still consider the Bengals the better team. This is a divisional matchup, and it will almost certainly come down to the final play. Burrow has been playing solidly this season—I perhaps expected a bit more from him—but they’ve had a solid start, and generally speaking, he has played well.
