Every NFL game isn’t going to look like the greatest matchup, and so it is on Sunday Night Football when the 1-4 Cincinnati Bengals take on the 2-3 New York Giants.
The Bengals have been competitive, as all four losses are by one touchdown and three of them are to teams expected to make the playoffs. The Giants are coming off a big upset of Seattle abut are in danger of losing contact with Washington if they can’t win this one.
Cincinnati is a solid 3.5-point road favorite as the Bengals look to resurrect their season.
The NFL Week 6 Sunday Night Football game is between the Cincinnati Bengals and New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ.
The Bengals at Giants game will be televised nationally on NBC and streamed on Peacock.

Mike Tirico (play-by-play) and Cris Collinsworth (analyst) will call the game from the booth at MetLife Field while Melissa Stark will be on the sidelines.

Bill Speros writes: “Someone in the NBC Sunday Night Football scheduling department must have hit the wrong button. The Giants beat the Seahawks in Week 5, thanks in part to a blocked field goal. That came after New York allowed a TD on a 102-yard fumble return. The Bengals blew a 10-point lead at home before losing to the Ravens. Nothing but the best on Sunday night.”
