Vegas sets odds more for stimulating betting. Theyre not in it for predictions or guessing the actual point differential.
Vegas sets the odds to get betting on both sides, but they're normally pretty damn close, and it can't be completely off because they'll lose their ass.
And going on the road in a place like Dallas, if you think that they think that 50% of people believe that the Bengals will win by 1 or even keep it that close, then I have a ticket to sell you for you to watch me in the Olympic hurdles
