Best Wild Card bet: Bengals -7

[Snowball]

- Chargers don't belong there, NFL blew the call, admitted.
- Chargers have poor defense
- Bengals at home playoffs
- Bengals pass defense is strong
- Dalton can make mistakes but shakes them off well
- Possible weather advantage for Bengals along with home field
- Bengals believe they can get to AFC Championship

feel free to add reasons. Bengals backers only.

I keep going back & forth on this one. Both teams are deceptively solid, but CIN is a very convincing 8-0 at home.

So you started a thread on a betting forum in which you only want Bengal backers to come in and give only reasons why Bengals will win? That's bright.

Just ignore it. If you like SD, go ahead and state your case.

I think I like Cincy. I read threads to get different angles and maybe see something I hadn't thought about.

Like I said, I've been back and forth on this one. I think a case can be made for both sides. Leaning CIN now.

like you said in another thread the chargers are the team of destiny. i dont know if they'll make it all the way to the SB but ever since that Denver win the football gods have shone upon them with great glory.

if there is any QB who can keep you in it in a shootout type game its phillip rivers.

The only thing that the chargers have going for them is philip rivers, the bengals beat them in san diego both this year and last. No reason for the bengals not to win by 2 tds+ here, if they don't then they have wasted a lot of talent this year.

[slacker00]

Yeah. I just can't get over the 8-0 home record. That should be enough to get Dalton a playoff win.

[Big Bear]

regular season records mean nothing.

its win or go home and Phillip Rivers is on a mission.

Bengals always choke in the playoffs

[iWin]

But it's the chargers. Cin the obvious better team and I don't think Rivers can lead his team to a victory AT CIn.

[totallypsycho]

hows the bengals run d? only way i see SD winning is in one of those chew the clock 13-10 type of game

[SXRD71]

This game is a trap. Very suspect.

[Tommy Blingshyne]

bengals 8-0 SU and ATS at home in '13...putting up big points too...could def. see a chargers choke this weekend after putting their all into barely beating a back up chiefs team...

And that is Exactly why you better not discount the Chargers, it's the NFL, this team has a way of taking the football and hiding it for quarters at a time, granted the Bengals have a very defense but don't be surprised to see a tight mid- scoring game in the neighborhood of 24-20 Cincy...

I show 70% chance of rain with 19mph winds.

I don't think there will be a shootout. I have straight up bets here with local SD homers already, but I might take the 7 points on a parlay.

[navyblue81]

I like San Diego, but the weather gives me hesitation and a reason to probably pass. 100% chance of rain turning to snow, according to weather.com. No thank you. I think there are better plays this weekend.

[Catchn_Picks]

I live near Cincinnati…it is f*kkin cold right now. There is going to be a huge difference from last week's miracle win in sunny San Diego and this week here.

Cincy will go deep this year. They have broken all of the old habits this season even dominating Pitt. I believe they are for real.

Bengals the only game I have bet so far in order to lock in the -6.5.

Here is your fact of the game:

SD is 3-12 ATS @ a SU win over the past few years. Winning at home and then going on the road (essentially two playoff games in a row) is going to be tough for the Bolts…Cincy wins going away.

[maggiethebestdog]

SD's 4 game win streak to end season is a farce. the denver win was good, but a division game that people said would be close. next they beat the giants at home. that is like beating a pee wee team. then they struggle to beat oakland, who make the giants look good. finally, they lose to the chiefs 2nd string at home in a get in playoff game. the refs beat KC. SD getting a lot of love for a team that isn't good.

[Snowball]

good points guys. Still like this as #1 and Green Bay as #2.

[Barnes & Whine]

After that speech Im taking the Bengals!
