Cincinnati are 5-2 after a dramatic, Joe Burrow-led 43-36 (OT) win over Tennessee
The Falcons come into this game at 3-5 after a 16-0 shutout loss to Tampa Bay
The game is nominally a home one for Atlanta, but is being played at Madrid’s Estadio Santiago Bernabeu

The NFL returns to Madrid this weekend, and using our exclusive Kalshi NFL promo code will allow you to gain extra trading funds for this game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the theoretical home team, the Atlanta Falcons.
It’s a chance for the Bengals to strengthen their claim to a playoff position in the tightly contested AFC North, and for Atlanta to return to the tracks a train that has been derailed by the underperformance that saw them shut out by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ahead of the game, the Bengals are narrowly favored by the markets.
It’s not essential to have an elite quarterback if you want to reach the playoffs, but it helps - and Joe Burrow showed against the Texans that he’s got a claim to that tag. He wasn’t perfect, throwing three interceptions against the 1-7 Titans. But his good numbers were great: 38 completions from 48 attempts, five touchdowns and 462 yards. Both Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase went over 140 yards in receiving. Oh, and Burrow ran in the winning touchdown with seven minutes of overtime remaining.
Michael Penix Jr. delivered the absolute reverse of that performance in Tampa Bay, completing just eight of 24 passes and throwing four interceptions - so for every two passes that ended up in the hands of one of his receivers, one was caught by a defensive opponent. That doesn’t mean Penix Jr. has become a bad QB, though: in his previous two games he landed three touchdown passes, and against a defense that just conceded 36 points to the Titans, there is a decent chance that he returns to form. And the top prediction market sites reflect that contrast, with the Bengals narrowly favored.

That’s all the more impressive given that, as we’ve identified in our Polymarket review, there is such a breadth of available markets on which to trade.
