The Cincinnati Bengals and New York Giants play in Week 2 of the preseason. The game takes place on Sunday, August 21 at 7:00pm ET at Metlife Stadium. The two teams have not played since the 2020 season when the Giants recorded a 19-17 win.
The Giants have a potential quarterback fight between Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor. There’s a very real chance the latter will score some repeats with the first-team offense in preseason. Both boys saw action last week and were able to grapple with the looming battle this week. Does Kenny Golladay also look better than he did last season? The Bengals will not play their starters this preseason. Quarterback Joe Burrow was out earlier in the preseason with appendicitis, but he’s back in training camp now. Even though he’s back, don’t expect to see him at all.
Here we take a look at our picks for the best bets for Bengals vs. Giants in Week 2 of the NFL preseason.

Our tips, the best bets
Vote against the spread: Giants -5.5
The Giants starters will likely see some time this week as both Jones and Taylor need repeats. The starting offense should be able to score against the Bengals’ backups, they have some issues to figure out. The two quarterbacks should be able to get at least a touchdown apiece with some good reps.

The Bengals backups managed to accumulate 23 points last week and if they can replicate that again they will take the lead. The Giants also scored 23 points last week and should be more comfortable in the second game of head coach Brian Daboll’s system.
