Cincinnati Bengals Form
Cincinnati make the trip to Madrid with momentum on their side, having won three straight games to improve to 5-2.
The Bengals opened with back-to-back wins, beating Tampa Bay 33-27 at home and Houston 20-6 on the road.
They cooled off after that as they fell 30-27 in Pittsburgh and 22-17 at home to Jacksonville, but they have got back on track in recent weeks.
Cincinnati kick-started their campaign on the road as they followed up a 31-24 victory in Miami with a 35-13 at Baltimore.
The Bengals then made it three-in-a-row last weekend, as they battled past a stubborn Tennessee in overtime, winning 43-36.
Atlanta Falcons Form
Atlanta head overseas with a 3-5 record, having failed to build on their upset of San Francisco.
The Falcons kicked off their campaign with back-to-back defeats as they fell 20-13 at Pittsburgh and 34-3 at home to Carolina.
They finally got off the mark in impressive fashion as they won 35-14 in Green Bay, and they backed that up in New Orleans as they downed the Saints, 45-24.
Atlanta failed to keep that run going as they lost back-to-back home games, losing 30-23 to Baltimore in overtime and 31-23 to Chicago in regulation.
The Falcons then snapped that skid with a 29-20 upset of San Francisco, only to then lose 16-0 in Tampa last weekend.
Verdict
Atlanta have had some highs this season, but there have been more lows and they are coming off a nightmare performance in Tampa.
Cincinnati, meanwhile, made hard work of the win over Tennessee, but they got the job done thanks to Burrow and an offense that is firing right now, and we expect them to make it four-in-a-row in Spain.
