The Cincinnati Bengals welcome the Jacksonville Jaguars to Paycor Stadium on Sunday in an NFL Week 4 matchup between 2-1 teams. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET, and CBS will carry the broadcast. A win would lift either club to 3-1 on the season.
The teams arrived at their identical records in different fashion. Cincinnati lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, while Jacksonville handed the New England Patriots a lopsided defeat.
Oddsmakers expect a competitive afternoon in Cincinnati. BetMGM lists the Bengals as 2.5-point favorites and has set the over/under at 51.5 points.
Cincinnati's secondary will have a different look. Cornerback Jalen Davis is on injured reserve, so Dax Hill is set to slide inside, with DJ Ivey or Tacario Davis expected to handle the outside spot across from DJ Turner II. Guard Dalton Risner and safety Brian Cook are both questionable for the game.
Cincinnati's schedule turns toward the road immediately after Sunday. The Bengals visit the Miami Dolphins on Oct. 11 in Week 5, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET on FOX. That contest is the club's final one before its bye week.
Following the open date, the Bengals return to action Oct. 25 on the road against the Baltimore Ravens, kicking off at 1 p.m. ET on CBS. The Tennessee Titans visit Paycor Stadium on Nov. 1 at 1 p.m. ET, also on CBS. In Week 9, Cincinnati plays an international game as the visiting team against the Atlanta Falcons in Madrid, Spain, a 9:30 a.m. ET start on Nov. 8 on NFL Network.
Three primetime appearances fill out the second half of the schedule. The Pittsburgh Steelers visit on Nov. 15 for an 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday night game on NBC, the Bengals travel to the Washington Commanders on Nov. 23 for an 8:15 p.m. Monday night game on ESPN, and the Ravens return to Paycor Stadium on Dec. 31 for an 8:15 p.m. Thursday night game on Amazon Prime.
The rest of the slate includes home games against the New Orleans Saints on Nov. 29 at 1 p.m. ET on CBS and the Kansas City Chiefs on Dec. 13 at 4:25 p.m. ET on FOX. Road trips to the Cleveland Browns on Dec. 6 at 1 p.m. ET on CBS and the Carolina Panthers on Dec. 20 at 1 p.m. ET on FOX fill out December. A Week 16 game at the Indianapolis Colts on Dec. 26 or 27 and a Week 18 home matchup with Cleveland on Jan. 9 or 10 still await kickoff times and network assignments.
