1.) Yes, I posted the entire decade of overs/unders. You must not have taken the time to appreciate the point I was trying to make, even though I did my best in trying explain it.
The overall point was that Vegas is very good at setting lines. Not only in the differential between their actual win total and the predicted win total, but also in the fact they hit the over 5 times and the under 5 times (an equal amount).
2.) The "realist" knows notto bet the Bengals period, at least not in sizeable amounts. Good or bad, you're better off finding a team you're impartial to then letting your letting emotion (positive or negative) cloud your judgement.
Fwiw, I've never placed on a bet for or against the Bengals. It ruins the experience for me. I even tend to avoid their players in fantasy football, unless they've dropped considerably. I think it's a good rule of thumb to keep the fan experience seperate from the betting experience. To each their own though...
