Analyzing Monday’s Washington Commanders at Cincinnati Bengals odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

Week 3 thus finds Cincinnati truly desperate for a win. As a reminder, since 1990 only 4 of 162 teams have made the playoffs after starting a season with three consecutive losses (2.5%). On the other side of the field, Washington looks to add to any momentum gained in last week’s win and to keep pace atop the NFC East with Philadelphia and Dallas.

The Cincinnati Bengals are big favorites to beat the Washington Commanders on “Monday Night Football” in Week 3. In fact, one has to look pretty hard to find a pick that says otherwise. Over at USA Today, all six of the experts polled take the Bengals over the Commanders and only one of the score projections is within six points.
