Lots of inexperience on defense and after the Bodden injury, I have no confidence in their 2nd string quality cornerbacks being able to cover Ochocinco/Owens. And on the flip side, Cincinnati has a good defense, but their biggest weakness plays perfectly into New England's biggest strength on offense. Cincy's defensive backs are slow and vulnerable to quick slant routes over the middle, meaning I can see Welker/Eddelman having great games and killing that defense over the middle of the field all game long.
