10* Money-Bomb
(NFL) San Diego vs. Cincinnati,
Point Spread: -6.50 | -115.00 Cincinnati (Home)
Result: Loss
Taking CINCINNATI here. Lots of rematches this weekend. Cincy already took care of the Chargers 17-10 back on December 1st in San Diego. Now we have SD traveling into winter weather for an early start. Great spot for Cincy to win their first playoff game in nearly 25 years. I think SD over achieved all season long. I don't think they match-up well here at all. They probably should have lost last week vs a back-up QB and a team with nothing to prove, yet pulled it out by the skin of their teeth. Not that I put much into that. But I can't overlook the sloppy play, especially the way the Bengals play at home. A perfect 8-0 SU/ATS here this year. The fact is that Marvin Lewis needs a playoff win. He isn't mentioned as a hot-seat guy, but he really has to crap or get off the pot with this team. I thought these guys could challenge Denver for a spot representing the AFC in the Super Bowl. Nothing has changed. Anything short of getting to at least the AFC Championship game should be viewed as a disappointment. I hear we could be seeing a blast of winter weather as I write this. That won't deter me from this play. Andy Dalton has been awesome at home and I can't see the SD defense containing an offense beating teams by 24ppg their last 5 at home. 10* Money-Bomb CINCINNATI BENGALS
