White, a Fantasy and gambling editor for CBS Sports, consistently crushes against-the-spread picks and went 535-450-30 on his ATS picks from 2017-22, which returned more than $3,500 to $100 players. He also closed the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 107-80-6 run on his last 193 against-the-spread and total NFL picks, returning more than $1,800 for $100 bettors. 

Moreover, White has a read on the pulse of the Bengals. In fact, he is an INCREDIBLE 51-35-4 on his last 88 picks involving the Bengals for a return of almost $1,200! Anyone who has followed him is WAY UP.

White knows the Bengals are hoping star quarterback Joe Burrow can recover from a calf injury in time to play. But if Jake Browning has to start, Cincinnati can rely on its offensive stars. Ja'Marr Chase, who topped 1,000 yards in his first two seasons, is off to a slow start, but Tee Higgins had 89 yards and two TDs last week. Joe Mixon, a three-time 1,000-yard rusher, could find room to run against a defense yielding 5.3 yards per carry (31st in NFL).

White also knows the Rams' offense has been flying high behind quarterback Matthew Stafford and rookie receiver Puka Nacua. Stafford is averaging 320 passing yards per game, while Nacua leads the NFL in catches (25) and is second in receiving yards (266). Fellow receiver Tutu Atwell has 13 receptions for 196 yards after catching just 18 passes in 2022.
