+9? - Chezaugie - 08-27-2024
Decided to look at the preview of the upcoming game and saw the Bengals are favored by nine points. Really? The first NFL game of the season is always unpredictable for any team. I am not a big betting fan, but, 9 points in the NFL seems like it's too good to pass up.

Its because the Pat's have a new coach, and starting QB. They weren't very good last year either. It is a lot of points, but they look at us as a superbowl contender and the Pat's as a toilet bowl contender

(We'd be -9 then, not plus!)
They make spreads to get action on both sides, but they're always so damn accurate, so I like this!
My heart says we win big, but betting with your heart is how bookies make a living.
With Chase back, if Brown or Mims is healthy that game, I think Burrow has a field day and we win big.

I stand corrected. You are correct. The Bengals are minus 9. You can see why I don't gamble.

lol no harm done. Minor slip-up.
Like I said, I do love this and it gives me some confidence. I haven't looked too much at picks against the spread but it has been about 50-50 from what I have seen so far.
I can't wait!

That's exactly what the betting houses want you to think haha.
