Patriots vs Bengals: How to watch, game time, TV schedule, channels, radio, live online streaming, betting odds, FanPulse

Coming off back-to-back losses against the Kansas City Chiefs and the Houston Texans, the New England Patriots will travel to Cincinnati to take on one of the worst teams in the league: the 1-12 Bengals. While the main storylines entering the game was the videotaping incident that took place last week, the Patriots themselves will try to get back on track and stay ahead of the competition in the race for a first-round playoff bye.

With all that in mind, let’s find out how to actually follow the contest:

FanPulse

While New England lost against the Chiefs last week and now finds itself at 10-3 and essentially out of the race for the number one playoff seed in the AFC, some fans actually appear to be encouraged by the performance the team showed against Kansas City last Sunday: according to the results of SB Nation’s latest FanPulse survey, New England’s fan confidence improved by 10 percentage points when compared to last week.

Coming off its 28-22 loss against the Texans, the team’s approval rating dropped from 91% down to 42% — the lowest number since Week 16 last season — but it actually went up to 52% after the 23-16 defeat in Week 14. In order to put themselves in a position to trending upwards not just when it comes to fan confidence, the Patriots will need to finally hit their groove on offense against a Bengals team that has won just a single game so far this season.

While Cincinnati’s 1-12 record is the worst in the league, the team has positioned itself well in the race for the number one draft selection next spring. Despite that, however, fans are not too confident: only 5% of FanPulse participants feel good about the direction in which the team is currently headed in. This number — down from 29% last week after the team won its first game of the season — ranks the Bengals’ fan base as the third least confident in all of football.
