Hot corner, I think you mean the Broncos were 5-1.

They don't THINK it is a six point game. They think that number is what will get an equal amount of bets on both teams.

The Pats have won all three games they have played by 31. Even if they win their first 15 of the season by 31 and play Atlanta at home on the last day of the season, the line won't be 31.

The Pats were 16.5 favorites last week and that too was easy money.

betonusa now has the Pats by 7.5

Semantics. So the bettors think it's a 6 pt game, whatever. My point remains the same.

Nobody thinks it will be a six point game. That is simply the opening line listed by handicappers. They aren't looking for a push, they are looking for equal money on each team. That is why the line, at least on the site I looked at has already jumped a point and a half, the bookies are trying to get some interest going on the Bengals. If bets continue to come in on New England, the line will continue to grow.

We usually play well against good teams, but never seem to win. So we will tease at a win, but all in all, at the end the better team prevails. Probably take off at the end and tack on a good amount of points.

But I'm pretty much expecting a brutal beating.

I think the Bengals will build on the energy of a hometown crowd and a Monday Night and will play them hard for 3 qtrs. Then things will disintegrate, hopefully not to the tune of 20 pts but I admit that's very possible.

I've never bet on sports before, but this might be worth a look. If Vegas is saying 6 points, that's about as easy money as I'll ever make.

There's no way in hell the Bengals don't get blown out.

Thank God this game is at night. If they are losing it gives me a chance to catch up on my rest.

[Matt700wlw]

My head says no.....my heart always says yes.


What the hell....Bengals win.

What's the worst that happens.....I'm wrong and not surprised?

I actually believe they have a chance. The Pats don't have an angry Corey Dillon with a chip on his shoulder to deal with. That was a killer for a couple years. Samuel is overrated as a cover corner. I think the Pats may try to cover Chad 1 on 1. That would be the biggest mistake ever. Go Bengals!!!

I want the Bengals to win, but it's a tough task.

Friendly reminder. That bad team has the same record and has already beaten you.

[BuckeyeRedleg]

Knowing the Bengals, they'll make it close only to have Marvin not understand a challenge situation and waste a few precious TO's (icing the kicker, calling a TO to think about challenging, etc.) only to put his team into a bad spot.

And then, through a reflection of leadership they'll find a way to lose.

Again.

That is, if they don't get blown out.

I'll call 45-24. At least Marvin won't look to foolish if this happens and he can repeat his "our guys need to make tackles and be in the right spots, you all wouldn't understand the complexity of our situations.....anymore stupid questions?...heh, heh, heh (nervous laughter taken all the way to the bank)."

[Yachtzee]

The Bengals will win if the Offense is able to hit a few "home runs" early in the game, spotting the defense a decent lead. The D always seems to do better when the pressure is off and they can play aggressive. If it's close or the Pats take an early lead, it could get ugly.

[BUTLER REDSFAN]

of course i hope i'm dead wrong but i think there's a chance this could be a nfl record type of loss...63-7 ?? 70-10? this is the team that gave cleveland 51 points, couldnt kick a kick off straight or hold the seahawks from scoring with 2 minutes left in the game..and now we are going up against Tom Brady??????????????
