They've already experienced the infernal Let Down Game this season, so I have to hope that they will at least be in the right mindset. That doesn't necessarily mean the Bengals will win, because the Chargers are plenty capable. They just have to keep the mojo flowing. Home field might mean something given the travel distance and that it's their second road game in a row. If I just look at the game at the most basic level though, I feel pretty decent about it.
- Good, but inconsistent offense (Bengals) versus terrible defense, particularly against the run (Chargers)
- Good, but inconsistent offense (Chargers) versus good, but inconsistent defense (Bengals)
That should be an edge to the Bengals. Add home field and it's gravy. Of course if predicting NFL games were this easy I would be a much wealthier man.
Bengals 30
Chargers 23
