We're not counting peanuts, these are teams with 53 players competing in a complex game. After 3 weeks, few statistics have any meaning.
I'll go with this: the Bengals are desperate and they're playing at home in prime time, with one of the league's best QBs and two of the best receivers. The Patriots have a good secondary and a superb front seven. It's a classic battle, and I'm not picking the winner. (winning on D means holding the other team below, say, 20 pts, and giving the O decent field position)
When the Pats have the ball, it's a different matter entirely.
