New England over San Diego

Obviously I am a Bengals fan, but would be wary of Cleveland.

A desperate NFL team playing at home with nothing to lose is nothing to take lightly, even in the lowly Browns.

In part this will be a good test for the Bengals: to come off an emotional win, on a short week, and play a desperate team on the road who got embarrassed at home the previous week.

I would be careful of this game - look at past results at Cleveland and if I am not mistaken the Browns play the Bengals pretty close there.

I love NFL football, but find picking winners much more difficult than college. If I were hungry to win I would look at the plethora of NCAA games instead.

Well, lets take a look last year shall we?

First game:

9-17-2006 @ Cinn
34-17 Cinn
Line = -10.5 Cinn

11-26-2006 @ Cleveland
30-0 Cinn
Line = -3 Cinn

Cinn ATS vs. Cleveland 2-0

No reason to be wary of Cleveland. This game is an easy winner for the Bengals.

IWishIWasRich · 09-12-07, 07:43 PM

I like Dallas best, some one already gave it.
Still I think it is the best bet.

DoctorX79 · 09-12-07, 07:46 PM

Bengals Bengals Bengals!!! I Would Ricsk My House On This Game 1000000000000000000000% Sure

Look back farther... Cincy is a team still learning to win.

There is no need to look back further. If you don't have faith in your team then that's your problem. It's a sharp play and if you fail to realize it I am sorry.

OrionSky · 09-12-07, 08:25 PM

Steelers!!!!

LLXC · 09-13-07, 02:39 AM

Saints?

LLXC · 09-13-07, 02:40 AM

Though Dallas and Cincy look tempting...

Do these all look too good to be true?

I think you have hit this right on the head of course the Browns are bad and the bengals are okay but for the reasons above I will be leaving this one. Wasn't overly impressed by the Bengals the other night

slacker00 · 09-13-07, 04:46 AM

Take the Packers if Eli is out. Packers should roll with Eli out, even in NYC.

Otherwise, I agree with the Bengals play.

I also like NE, NO as strong plays.

If you want dogs, take Ten, Buff or KC.

milwaukee mike · 09-13-07, 10:25 AM

slacker i agree.
except about the part "in nyc".
nobody plays football in nyc, in fact a good trivia question is "what nfl team plays its home games in new york?"

answer: buffalo bills

DJC81 · 09-13-07, 11:46 AM

If your looking at ML take Pittsburgh or Chicago otherwise take Cincinnati -6.5 or Dallas -3.5

Broncogene · 09-13-07, 02:43 PM

Cincy is a lock

SFink · 09-13-07, 02:44 PM

Cincy is certainly NOT a lock.. but a very decent option.

To me the best bet this week would be GreenBay IF Eli is out.

New Orleans and Dallas are also very strong options...

babaoriley · 09-13-07, 04:10 PM

Select a 6 point teaser from the following and then relax on Sunday:
Indy and Cinci
Pitt and Cinci
Chi and Cinci
Chi and Indy
Chi and Pitt
Indy and Pitt

personally, I like all these teams to cover outright, but if looking to go safe, I'd play the teaser. If not, how about a ML parlay with Pitt, Indy, Cinci, and Chi or a RR parlay with each of the combos mentioned above? Just a few options. Remember, there are no "locks" though I must admit that Cinci, Dallas, N.O. all appear to be really, really good plays, as do Indy and Chicago (who may pitch a shutout--just worried that they'll be able to put up 14 points). Good luck.

Good point, Mike. I wasn't thinking. They should call them the Jersey Giants, eh? Jersey Jets too, I guess.

I've actually never been to NYC, so I don't even know what is considered part of NYC and what isn't. I thought maybe Jersey was kinda considered part of NYC, I mean I know it isn't, but it's an academic argument. I imagine a NYC resident can fill us in. Kinda silly, I guess.

Cabo · 09-13-07, 10:31 PM

I'm also on the Cincy bandwagon this week

I agree Green Bay is a strong play. It is definitely not the best bet of the week. Carolina -6.5 is the next best thing to Cincy -6.5.

OrionSky · 09-13-07, 11:19 PM

Yeah Slacker, but Jersey would never claim the Jets, NY can keep them, all they do is come over and trash up the place. The fans I mean...

ritehook · 09-13-07, 11:50 PM

I'm only on two NFL games this week,both sides.

Carolina -6.5

Tennessee +7

And contrary to most of the posts favoring the Bengals, if I can get a 7 I'm also gonna be on Cleveland

Agree on all counts.

College generally has softer lines than NFL, tho inexperieced bettors generally prefer the pros.

Tho this week I'm a bit stumped in NCAA - maybe Under with LSU, and over with Michigan . . . ?
