2. The streak will continue

The safest bet going into Week 7 is that Myles Garrett’s sack streak should continue to roll on against a Bengals team that leads the NFL in sacks allowed, with 24.

Joe Burrow is playing as well as he should be, considering his supporting cast, but he’ll probably be hitting the turf on multiple occasions.

While the Bengals offensive line has gotten a boost form rookie Jonah Williams at left tackle, a good chunk of the unit is still a huge liability.

Remember, Garrett had a strip sack of Burrow in Week 2. The lineman who allowed it was Fred Johnson. he’s been replaced by Alex Redmond, who is Cincinnati’s third starting right guard of the season.

Additionally, Garrett isn’t the only threat the Bengals will have to worry about. Olivier Vernon is playing much better, while Sheldon Richardson and Larry Ogunjobi are as stout as they come on the interior.

Bottom line: It should be a long day for Burrow and his blockers.
