Amongst a great NFL Week 6 slate, this Bengals vs Lions game is being criminally overlooked. Joe Burrow’s vocal abilities will be limited due to a throat contusion sustained during the Bengals wild Week 5 loss to the Packers.
This may be the best chance for the 0-5 Lions to find a win for at least six weeks, as they are about to face a gauntlet of teams with winning records.
The following Bengals vs Lions NFL betting preview will give you the current odds, betting trends and picks for the Week 6 matchup, along with a stream link to watch games all season long.
Bengals vs Lions Week 6 NFL Betting Preview

The Lions have to win a game eventually. This team works too hard and has a coach who cares too much to go 0-16. It is just not going to happen. Where will a win come from though? Their schedule is not easy.
The Lions absolutely need this game. We saw an absolutely wild game between the Packers and Bengals come down to field goals, and with an injured Joe Burrow having to battle against the crowd at Ford Field, this could be the breakthrough Dan Campbell has been begging for.
As a gambler, it is next to impossible to have any trust in the Bengals’ kicker, or really any kicker not named Justin Tucker, after seeing the struggles across the NFL last week. The Lions have had a few difficult losses come via the field goal already this season, leading many bettors to believe the hook will be the deciding factor in this game.
