CINCINNATI (Interstat) — The winless New York Jets, mired in a deepening crisis, travel to face the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium on Sunday in a matchup of teams on divergent paths.

The Jets (0-7) are one of two remaining winless teams in the NFL and are coming off a 13-6 home loss to the Carolina Panthers, a game in which their quarterback duo of Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields combined for just 172 passing yards. New York’s season has been defined by narrow defeats, with four of their seven losses coming by one score, but the offense has consistently failed to produce.

Conversely, the Bengals (3-4) are riding high after a thrilling 33-31 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Oct. 16. Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco delivered a standout performance, throwing for 342 yards and three touchdowns in the win.

Despite the records, the Jets have been installed as 6.5-point underdogs by oddsmakers. The over/under is set at 44.5 points. A projection from Interstat simulates a 31-21 victory for the home team.

The game presents a stark contrast: Cincinnati will look to build momentum and climb back to .500 behind Flacco’s resurgent arm, while the Jets desperately seek any sign of life to salvage their rapidly disintegrating season.
