What happened: Analysts are issuing their pre-game projections ahead of Sunday's regular-season contest featuring the Cincinnati Bengals. The club returns to action following a 12-day gap since its Oct. 11 outing.

Why it matters: Riding a one-game winning streak, the Bengals are jostling for conference positioning as the NFL trade deadline approaches. Thin safety depth and potential defensive moves add roster stakes to this week's showing.

By the numbers: Cincinnati Bengals: 3-2 record, W1 streak, No. 8 seed; won previous game 31-24 on Oct. 11.

What to watch: Sunday's result will shape Cincinnati's immediate standing before the front office finalizes its trade-deadline approach.
