Ruffolo's Fantastic Five NFL #4

This feels like a relatively high total for this Bengals/Lions matchup. Cincinnati’s defense actually looks pretty good, holding the Packers to just 25 points last week, needing overtime to get there and it was still Green Bay’s second lowest scoring output this year. It also marked the fifth straight game where Cincinnati allowed 25 points or less, but they’ve failed to break the 24-point mark in four straight games themselves. The Lions are on their own streak of futility as well, scoring 17 or less in four straight while tightening up the defense with the pieces they do have, holding opponents to 25 points or less, making the under 3-0 in those games. I see those numbers increasing as this one comes in under the number as well.
