Cincinnati - 37                             Tampa Bay - 17

Bengals -7                               over 38

Cincy has lost 5 in a row to Tampa since 1995.

But Bengals are 6-0-1 ATS after road game vs Browns.

I'll take the Bengals to get it done at home vs the Bucs.

     Cincy responds with a desparation win. Atones for its recent lackluster playing!

BENGALS    -  6.5

Cincy -6.5. Favorites of 6.5 or more going into a bye are 25-6-1 at home since the divisional reallignment. The numbers for underdogs coming off a bye are about 50/50. It does seem like a lot of points to lay on a QB that looks downright bad, but the Bucs have D issues. I think Benson has his first quality outing this season against the 31st ranked rund D here and loosens up some space for all the weapons at Palmers disposal against that pass D ranked 28. On the other side the Cadillac is done and even if he wasn't Cincy's run D is stout. That means Freeman will be put in 3rd and long situations behind an O line that stinks in pass protection. I like Freeman, Winslow and Williams, but you can't complete long passes without time.

TB is good off the bye week, Cinci has been mediocre at best IMO.

TB +6.5

Cincy 23 Tampa 3

Cincy and the under.

lmao cincy barely ever beat tampa and now you guys think that they will win by 7 over tampa after a by?? wow

tampa tampa tampa cover if not a streight up win

Tampa Bay +6.5

About 78 percent of the side action is on the Bengals, while sharp action and 80 percent of the overall action on the total is on Over.

I'm all over the OVER here !  No side bet here for me but I'd take the Bengals -6.5 if I had to pick a side ??
