- The OVER 45.5 points has -110 odds on both the O/U.
- The first-quarter total for the game is set at 7.5 with a -110 betting line on both sides.
- Ja’Marr Chase’s longest reception to be OVER 24.5 yards has odds of -130 odds.
CINCINNATI – The Cincinnati Bengals will host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday to kick off the fourth week of the 2021 NFL season. It may not be the most interesting game to watch but there’s betting value to be found throughout the matchup.
Betting The Total: OVER 45.5 Points
At a quick glance, the line seems to be pretty accurate. The teams combine to average 45.4 points per game and allow 48.3 points per game. However, online sportsbooks may be overlooking a key trend that point’s towards the OVER.
Bengals Vs. Jaguars Total Odds
- OVER 45.5 -110
- UNDER 45.5 -110
In each of the last six games in which the Bengals were favored (-340 moneyline in this game) the OVER has hit. The Jaguars are one of five teams to allow 30+ points per game this season and are also allowing the fourth-most yards per game. If these betting trends continue, the OVER should be the play for any sports bettor to make.
First Quarter Total: OVER 7.5 Points
Not only could this be a higher-scoring game than expected overall, but specifically the first quarter could turn into a bit of a shootout. Jacksonville is the only team in the NFL to allow more than a touchdown per first quarter through three games.
Bengals Vs. Jaguars First Quarter Total
- OVER 7.5 -110
- UNDER 7.5 -110
If the Jaguars alone are allowing more than the set total, the line already contains value. However, the trends don’t stop there. NFL betting sites seem to be overlooking the fact that at least one touchdown has been scored in five of the team’s combined six first quarters this season.

Ja’Marr Chase Longest Reception: OVER 24.5 Yards
It’s no secret that Ja’Marr Chase is having a fantastic start to his NFL career. But it still seems as if sports betting sites are not giving him the respect he deserves just yet.
Ja’Marr Chase Longest Reception
- OVER 24.5 -115
- UNDER 24.5 -115
Not only has Chase had a reception of at least this length in each of his first three games, but he’s averaging 20.0 yards per reception. He’s established himself as the deep threat in the Bengals offense and with -150 odds to have OVER 4.5 receptions in the game, it seems very likely that Chase will go for more than five yards of his average this matchup.
