The travel to London is the great equalizer in this game. Both teams' defenses have allowed 162 points, and both have failed to match that total on offense. So both point differentials are in the minus column, with the Bengals a surprising minus-22 and the Redskins minus-three. But here's the rub: the Redskins are 4-3 and haven't played anyone too special. The Bengals, on the other hand, are 3-4, but have losses to Pittsburgh, Denver, New England and Dallas -- the league's elite, to date. It seems with their 31-17 victory against the winless Browns a week ago, they now embark on several winnable games, this contest being high on the win list for head coach Marvin Lewis' squad. In a close game, turnovers will be key, and through this point of the season, the Bengals are plus-three, while the Redskins are minus-two.
Bengals 27, Redskins 17
