Cincinnati Bengals at New Orleans Saints: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 6 matchup

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals (2-3) are still looking for their identity and now hit the road to visit New Orleans and Dennis Allen's Saints (2-3).
Can Cincinnati rebound after a heartbreaking loss at the hands of a game-winning field goal to knock off a hungry Saints team at home? Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase and Joe Mixon will be looking to make some headway in a crowded AFC North division. The game is scheduled to kick off Sunday at 1 p.m. ET from Caesars Superdome.

Lorenzo Reyes: Bengals 24, Saints 20
Cincinnati is better than its record indicates and Zac Taylor needs to stop overthinking his play calls, allowing Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and Co. to do their thing. The Saints are an interesting, if inconsistent, team. I just don’t see them getting a four-touchdown spot from Taysom Hill regularly.
Safid Deen: Bengals 34, Saints 27
The league has figured out the Bengals' offense running out of shotgun formations, while the Saints unleashed Taysom Hill and got back Alvin Kamara back in the mix last week. Still, I like Joe Burrow and the Bengals' weapons on the road in this one.
Lance Pugmire: Bengals 27, Saints 20
Joe Burrow returns to Louisiana and regains momentum lost in Sunday night’s narrow defeat to the Ravens, so long as the Bengals defense can put the wraps on Taysom Hill, who scored three touchdowns in the victory over Seattle.
Jarrett Bell: Saints 26, Bengals 23
Nate Davis: Bengals 24, Saints 20
Tyler Dragon: Bengals 28, Saints 24
