It's gonna be a good game determined in the trenches and no one will get blown out! 28-27 Bengals.
It's also full of people who think being objective means constantly predicting close games. Heck, half the board was talking up the Raiders defense last week and saying it'd be a "tough game".
I respect the Chargers and I don't think it will be a blow out, but I don't think it's homerism to realize the Bengals are an overall more talented team playing at home. It's not a prime time or playoff game, either. For those reasons, I think the Bengals could win comfortably. Maybe not a blowout, but I think a prediction of 28-17 is reasonable.
Just because you don't always predict scores like 17-14 doesn't mean you're a homer.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
