“We’ve been waiting all day for Sunday Night!” This is the matchup that’ll cap off the Sunday slate of NFL games. The Cincinnati Bengals will travel to Rutherford, New Jersey to meet the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. This game will kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. Let’s jump in and take a look at this Bengals-Giants Preview.
It’s been a rough start to the Cincinnati Bengals, one of the favorites to win it all going into the season, they sit just 1-4 after five weeks of NFL play. They dropped a doozy in Week 1 ruining everyone’s survivor pools and losing to the Patriots. Week 2 brought heartbreak losing to the Chiefs on a last-second field goal. The Commanders got the best of them before they beat up the Panthers. Last week, their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens completed the comeback to beat them in overtime.
The New York Giants come into Week 6 sitting at 2-3 after picking up an impressive win against the Seahawks last week. Their other game came against the struggling Cleveland Browns in Week 3. They kept it close in divisional games against the Commander and Cowboys.

Cincinnati Bengals at New York Giants Preview and Predictions
Cincinnati Bengals -3.5 (-110)
Yes, it’s been a rough start for the Bengals, but it’s not too late. They can turn their season around, but it needs to start now. After the Giants, the Browns and Raiders are two of their next three games and we could easily be talking about a 4-4 Bengals team that’s on its way back up.
They showed us everything we needed to see against the Chiefs a few weeks ago. Stogie Joe is going to show up in this one meaning business. In Daniel Jones’s five seasons as the Giants starter, his record in prime time is just 1-12. Kirk Cousins might have been able to shake that off, but Jones isn’t Cousins.
Wan’dale Robinson Over 6.5 Receptions (+112)
Unfortunately for the Giants, Malik Nabers has already been ruled out as he continues to face concussion symptoms. So let’s turn our attention to Wandale Robinson. The speedy possession wide receiver should get a lot of looks this week.
I’ve been finding some intriguing names as target share leaders on 3rd & 4th downs. I bolded some undervalued players sorted by target share with a min. of 20 routes on 3rd & 4th down.

Without Nabers, and assuming the Bengals are going to be the team with the lead, Daniel Jones is going to look to Wan’Dale Robinson. Robinson has at least eight targets in four of the Giants’ five games thus far. Robinson has at least six catches in all four of those games. Against Cleveland Robison caught seven passes, then against the Cowboys he caught 11. It might take until garage time, but we know Robison is going to get his targets.
