Don't be fooled by the Jets 37-0 season finale last week over this Bengals team, New York will NOT be playing the same Bengals team they just humiliated to punch their playoff ticket.
Believe me, Marvin Lewis and his staff wanted no parts of the Houston Texans in this game, and that would have been the case had Cincy bested New York.
In essence, the Jets last 2 wins came against teams that had nothing to play for. Just keep the Jets dismal 10-7 home loss to Atlanta at the Meadowlands fresh in your minds. That is the real Jets team. Oh sure, New York may own a staunch defense, but at some point Mark Sanchez, that is ROOKIE Mark Sanchez is going to have to make a few plays, and that ain't gonna happen in his 1st playoff game of the road.
Cincy has waited since the end of the 2005 season to be back in the playoffs, and that was the game in which Carson Palmer blew out his knee in the first series. This go'round will be different.
The Bengals did not do a good job this year when favored, I will grant you that, but this line is for all intents and purposes a pick'em game, and there is no way I feel the home team is going to get beat today.
Lay the small impost.
10 DIMER - PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
This one is a "gut"play, as I will grant you the fact that Dallas could be the hottest NFC team right now, but the playoffs are a different beast altogether, and Dallas has not won a postseason game since 1996.
Philadelphia took the # 6 seed in last year's playoffs all the way to the NFC Title Game, and while I don't see them going that deep this postseason, they at least know what it takes to advance, and after 2 season losses to the Cowboys, they will pull out all the stops to avoid the hat trick.
I still think Dallas wins this game, but my bucks are on the Eagles to get the spread win.
Take the Birds plus the points as this one goes down to the bitter end.
10 DIMER - KENTUCKY WILDCATS
Georgia is still savoring their upset win over Georgia Tech, but don't expect the Bulldogs to once again waltz into the Rupp Arena and pull off another upset win, as Kentucky just has too many horses for this still-learning Bulldogs bunch.
Georgia did spring the upset win at Kentucky last season, beating the Wildcats as the 17 1/2-point underdog!
Not going to happen today.
The Wildcats are 11-0 straight up at home, and they have been able to cover their last pair, and 5 of their last 7 on line.
The Bulldogs have not been able to get any traction on the road, going 1-4 against the spread away from home thus far.
This one has whitewash writtien all over it.
Take the 'Cats over the Dawgs.
