Bengals are not good in prime time and Cleveland has lost 17 straight road division games. Something has to give. I say the Bengals win by double digits at home 28-14.

For the record, the experts are in Vegas. Why do we always question their lines? Like Bench said, home field is 3 points. You don't think the Bengals are 3 points better on a neutral field?

 

There are experts beyond Vegas but they are few and far in between.

 

And questioning and discussing are what you do in a forum.

The experts post here. Common knowledge.

Yes too much

No expert, but Sundays performance would indicate 28-24 Browns. Let's see how close I get! Not a gambler, but if I was,taking the Browns is a good bet. Bengals winning prime time is similar to a democrat winning a senate race in KY! :deadhorse:

 

I am curious to why you are only taking in the Bengals sunday performance into account? The Browns were losing most of the game to Tampa Bay, while the Bengals beat the same Jags team that beat the Browns.

The Bengals will probably start Hill again. Bernard has not practiced yet this week.

LRCW will be happy.

I don't bet either, but I'd take the gals and give the points.

 

 

I would as well. Bengals are not very good but should cover this one.

I understand that. About 14 points separate the 32 teams, it's not hard to set a line. The idea is to get a line where half think it's too low and half think it's too high. My point is that you get very few "bad lines" in the NFL. College football is a different story and college basketball even more so because of the volume of games.

Vegas doesn't set the odds to predict a winner, they set the odds to get a 50/50 split on the game. Based on this thread, the line looks close to right.

 

Vegas also is very good when it comes to NFL games and how close they typically get to the final margin. See Sunday's game: Bengals favored by 11, win by 10. With the amount of money laid on NFL games, they have to nail lines. I'd love to know how much they lost on the Bengals/Pats game earlier this year. Never saw a line move like that did. Maybe they got their money back with a rush of Bengals bets late?

 

All that said, betting NFL games is a tough proposition. If I had to bet this one, I'd take the Bengals though. You'd have to give me 8 before I'd take the Browns

Down to 6 in lot of places right now.

Kudos to the one or two posters that see the Bengals for what they are. I was not one of them...

Just about all of you lost the rent money for this month on this game.

Yep, child support down the drain. Actually I've nailed the last two guru has asked with New England games.

Vegas is king!
