Monday Night Football this week features a de facto elimination game for playoff contention between two teams that have been disappointing this season, yet there's still a very faint heartbeat in the NFL playoff odds.

Our Bengals vs. Cowboys MNF parlay based on the best Monday Night Football odds envisions Cincinnati taking advantage of Dallas’ disappointing trends at home this campaign.

The Cowboys host the Bengals (-5) at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX today at 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN). Our Mike Spector believes Dallas can capitalize on a historically poor Cincinnati defense in his Bengals vs. Cowboys prediction.

Bengals -5.5 (-105) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Although the spread for this contest initially jumped out to me as a funky line considering the Bengals’ poor defense, the season-long trends for these situations are extremely favorable to Cincinnati.

  • The Bengals are 6-6 against the spread overall, but they've been significantly better on the road while going 5-1 against the spread
  • Cincinnati is 3-0 ATS as a road favorite this season with an average margin of victory of 9.0 points per game
  • The Cowboys are 1-5 ATS at home with a woeful minus-17.1 average margin against the spread

DraftKings, bet365, and Caesars list the line at Bengals -5. But since I'm offering this as a five-star play, I'm confident enough to take the -5.5 line on the Bengals at FanDuel or BetMGM if it benefits the parlay.

Elsewhere, Rod Villagomez believes running back Chase Brown can get the Bengals off to a good start in his first touchdown scorer predictions for Monday Night Football. And Phil Wood thinks Cincy's top receiver will erupt in his Ja'Marr Chase MNF player prop bets.

Burrow Over 270.5 passing yards (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Although the Cowboys' defense has been more susceptible to the run, they’re facing an offense on Monday night that wants to throw.

  • The Bengals rank first in the NFL in passing offense (264.3 yards per game) and 28th in rushing offense (91.7 yards per outing)
  • Burrow has cleared 300 passing yards in each of his last three games and five times this season
  • Dallas ranks slightly lower in pass defense at home (15th) than on the road (eighth)

There's a significant edge on Burrow's passing line at FanDuel (270.5 yards) compared to the rest of our best NFL parlay betting sites that are between 275.5 and 277.5 yards for one of your NFL Week 14 predictions.

Wood also outlines why he thinks the signal-caller will impress in his Joe Burrow MNF player prop bets.

Rush Over 234.5 passing yards (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our support of the Bengals against the spread comes from believing that Burrow will torch Dallas' defense in an unholy fashion. But that doesn’t mean we’re letting Cincinnati’s putrid secondary off the hook.

  • Cooper Rush has cleared this passing line in two of his four starts this year, with the two failures coming against a pair of the NFL’s top six pass defenses (Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants)
  • The Bengals rank 27th in pass defense, allowing 241.0 yards per game
  • Cincinnati has given up an NFL-worst 326.7 passing yards per game over its past three matchups

Since Rush's line is solid at FanDuel and Burrow’s prop was so favorable there, that’s where we’ll play this parlay. The final price is +562, meaning a winning $10 wager would lead to a $56.20 profit.

Wood also outlined why Rush should excel in his Bengals vs. Cowboys MNF prop bets.
