You look at how positively dominant Cincy has been at home this year--8-0 ATS with a 17+ point average margin of victory--coupled with how piss poor the Chargers' defense really is, and it's either Cincy or no play. While all these figures are nice and good, as a Cincy backer, what gets my blood flowing south of the border is their prior years' playoff futility. They've kept almost their entire core together over the years and have the look of a team primed to get to the other side. Like an NBA franchise trying to get over the hump--doesn't happen the first time around. On the flip side, the Chargers, a team led by a rookie head coach that has surmounted great odds to win their last four while the teams ahead or near them produced a perfect combination of losses, have the look and feel of a team that's just happy to be in the playoffs. Bengals' hunger is off the charts. Bengals roll.
