Atlanta running for 200+ yards and keeping the ball from us really worries me!

According to CincyJungle.com Ja’Marr Chase was limited in practice yesterday (Wednesday) with a hip injury.

CincyJungle is now saying Ja'Marr is good to go. Also, the coaches are apparently optimistic about Logan Wilson returning sooner than expected.

ATL is 6-0 ATS. Hopefully this is the week they lose that trend.

On the BS podcast, Bill Simmons for his "Million Dollar Picks" teased the Bengals down to 1/2 point and Patriots down to 1 1/2. That pays out at (-134). Let's go!

Would you please explain that to me?

A teaser is a parlay bet when you are buying points, effectively.

The Bengals are favored by 6.5. The Pats are favored by 7.5. If we do a "6 point tease," that lowers the odds to the Bengals being favored by .5 and the Pats being favored by 1.5. The payout on that bet would be (-134), meaning you bet $134, you win $100.

If we take a standard parlay bet of Bengals at (-6.5) and Pats (-7.5) and both teams cover, that pays at (+249), or bet $100, you win $249 (which is basically 5/2 odds).

Thanks bug, that stuff makes my brain hurt.

Who Dey!!

Bengals at 6.5 point favorites seems awfully high considering Reader and Wilson are out.

I like Bengals 24-19.

Who Dey!!!

This game even more than usual is about the Bengals getting a lead and playing from ahead. If the Falcons get the lead, this game will start looking like the New Orleans game. The Falcons will grind it out on the ground, use clock and shorten the game. That will be an issue for a Bengals defense that is hurting a little stopping the run. 

If the Bengals can get the lead and make the Falcons pass more than they want, I think the Bengals win by at least 2 TD's. 

WHO DEY!! what a great start for Burrow and the Bengals topped off with a 60 yard touchdown throw to Boyd. Bengals lead 7-0 just two minutes into the game.

Boom! Four plays in and a long TD pass to Boyd. Bengals lead 7-0.

This is what the Bengals need in this game. I said it earlier this week and I am sticking with it - this offense is ready to explode.

Touchdown Mixon! After a false start penalty moved the Bengals back from the 6" line to the 5 yard line. The Bengals now lead 14-0 just overt 10 minutes into the game.

It looks like a great prediction early on @Voice of Reason?

Another nice drive and Bengals lead 14-0. Mixon 2 yard TD run.

Offensive line looking good. Falcons are running blitzes and different pass rush games and the line is picking them up. Burrow looks comfortable in the pocket despite pressure around him.

Great job again by the Bengal D to get a three and out to give the ball back to the hot offense. Now keep the foot on the accelerator!
