The NY Giants are taking on the Bengals in a crucial game to stay afloat in the NFC East race. This is the third time all year the Giants are favored in a game, coming in as 5-point favorites.

The Bengals are reeling, losing two straight games. To make matters worse, the Bengals saw Joe Burrow go down with a gruesome, season-ending ACL and MCL. Ryan Finley came in for relief but did a bad enough job to be replaced by Brandon Allen for this Week 12 matchup.

GMEN HQ reached out to Hunter Bittinger of The Stripe Hype for some analysis and insight on the Bengals. I had a great exchange with Hunter, let’s go over some stories and things to watch for Sunday.
