GMEN HQ: Who wins this game? Any score predictions?

Stripe Hype:

I think Cincinnati comes out with a chip on their shoulder but the Giants will ultimately notch their fourth win of the season. The only thing that has really kept the Bengals in games is a solid offense led by Burrow. The defense isn’t great and routinely gives up points at the end of the half and end of games.

If you game plan for Lawson, Daniel Jones should have plenty of time to work through progressions and find a rhythm. With or without Mixon, the Bengals haven’t been able to generate a ground game and I expect that to continue. Armed with that information, the Giants defense can zero in on whichever quarterback gets the start and make things miserable for them. I’ll go with a 24-13 Giants win.
