Welcome to the NFL in 2015, where Andy Dalton is favored against the Seattle Seahawks (2-2).
That statement may have seemed insane a little over a month ago, but the polarizing Dalton has the Cincinnati Bengals (4-0) absolutely humming on offense. He is third in the NFL in passing yards (1,187), first in yards per attempt (10.2) and third in touchdowns (nine), as the Bengals are averaging a stout 30.3 points per game.
The normally dominant Seahawks, meanwhile, have looked closer to ordinary. They are still very dangerous on defense, but a shaky offensive line has led to a loss against the St. Louis Rams and a near-defeat at home against the winless Detroit Lions. Throw in the fact Seattle will be traveling to an ET time zone on a short week, and the Bengals are being pegged as favorites.
Still, this Seahawks defense remains capable of taking over any game at any time, and it should give Dalton easily his biggest test of 2015. This is undoubtedly one of the most compelling matchups of Week 5.
