Will the Eagles or the Bengals win their third straight? Cowboys or 49ers on Sunday night?

Why Gennaro chose the Bengals: Neither of these teams started the season in impressive fashion, but due to a strange scheduling quirk, both experienced the exact same ointment of success in recent weeks: games against the Browns and Giants. Now that the Eagles and Bengals have each picked up two wins against the bottom two teams, they meet in Cincinnati in a duel that raises a question:

Which potential candidate do you believe in more? Or, as far as glass-half-empty types go, which underachiever do you trust less?

OK, from a pure balance sheet perspective, the 4-2 Eagles are obviously in better shape than the 3-4 Bengals. But with Philadelphia's shocking collapse in 2023 still fresh in the memory, it's only natural to remain on guard for fraud. And this year's team has provided plenty of reason for skepticism: Jalen Hurts is still far from his 2022 MVP runner-up form, Nick Sirianni recently apologized for trolling his own fans, and the Eagles have in the first quarter haven't scored a single point yet. Of course, the Bengals have their own problems, starting with a gross inability to play supplemental football. The offense and defense seemingly refuse to play on the same day, and kicker Evan McPherson just wasn't a “Money Mac.”

So what's going on? I'm going with the better quarterback on the more desperate team playing at home.
