Free Analysis: A Cincinnati season that began with a thud is now looking up after consecutive wins over Cleveland and Washington. Andy Dalton and Co. will aim to make it three straight when they travel to Jacksonville for a Sunday showdown with the Jaguars. Dalton passed for 328 yards and three touchdowns last weekend, A.J. Green hauled in nine balls for a career-high 183 yards and a score, as the Bengals barely held off the Washington Redskins, 38-31, at FedEx Field. BenJarvus Green-Ellis rushed 17 times for 38 yards with a score and wide receiver Mohamed Sanu threw a 73-yard touchdown pass on the first play from scrimmage for the Bengals (2-1), who have rebounded after a season- opening loss to Baltimore. Dalton and Green are growing up together and quickly becoming one of the NFL's most dangerous combinations. Any thoughts of a sophomore slump by Dalton have been tempered by two career-best passer ratings in three weeks. Dalton currently ranks second in the NFL in average yards per attempt (9.13), tied for fifth in TD passes (six), fifth in completion percentage (68.4) and eighth in yards (867). Green, meanwhile, is probably the AFC's top big play threat, leading the conference in receiving yards (311). He's currently on pace for over 1,200 receiving yards this season after leading all NFL rookies with 1,057 a year ago. Defensively the Bengals are not very good, ranking 29th overall (416.7 ypg) and 30th in points allowed (34 ppg). The Bengals have had a tough time against the run (155 ypg allowed), so expect them to sell out to stop Jones-Drew and force the often-shaky Gabbert to beat them through the air.
The Jags are indeed coming off a win, and a very exciting one at that when Cecil Shorts hauled in the game-winning 80-yard touchdown pass from Blaine Gabbert with 45 seconds remaining as Jacksonville stunned the Indianapolis Colts, 22-17, at Lucas Oil Stadium. Maurice-Jones Drew ran for 177 yards on 28 carries and his 63rd career rushing touchdown, which pushed him past Fred Taylor for the franchise record. It was his fifth career game with 150-or-more yards. Gabbert finished with 155 yards and a touchdown on 10-of-21 passing for the Jags (1-2), who avoided the first 0-3 start since 2003. The Jags are the lowest-scoring team in the AFC with 52 points and will go as far as MJD takes them these days although Gabbert has shown signs of being a playmaker early this season, throwing late game TDs to Shorts against both Minnesota and Indy. Gabbert still seems to hurry too much at times but things are progressing nicely. Gabbert has taken care of the ball and is one of only two quarterbacks (Minnesota's Christian Ponder) to not throw an interception in the first three weeks but his accuracy has been less than stellar. Despite his well-publicized holdout in the preseason Jones-Drew could very well be the game's best all-around back since the Titans' Chris Johnson is evidently the Witness Protection Program and the Vikings' Adrian Peterson is still coming back from serious knee surgery. Jones-Drew is second in the league with 314 rushing yards, nine behind Kansas City's Jamaal Charles. The defense has been decent against the pass but doesn't have a lock-down corner, so Green might be a handful.
Free Pick: I will look to take the over in this one. The Cincinnati offense is clicking on all cylinders right now as they have put up 72 points in their last 2 games and I expect them to have a good showing vs the Jags in this one. The Jags defense did do well last week vs Indianapolis, but face a rookie QB is much easier than facing a hot Andy Dalton. Look for the Bengals will get their share of points in this one. On the other side the Jags are not explosive on offense, but they can run the ball with MJD and the Bengals can’t stop the run, allowing 155 ypg on the ground. That running game will then open up some throwing lanes for Gabbart to get some big plays downfield. I also expect The Jags to have to throw a bir more in the second half to keep up with the scoring of Cincinnati. I look for the Jags to open it up a bit vs a weak Cincy defense, while the Bengals will continue their own scoring spree. Look for at least 48 points in this one.
