10 *CINCINNATI over Minnesota
Late Score Forecast:
*CINCINNATI 38 - Minnesota 19
Going into Monday night’s Baltimore at Detroit game, Cincinnati had lost control of its own destiny in the AFC South.
But even if the Ravens lose that Monday nighter and give the Bengals a break, don’t mind backing the Cats at home,
where they have been a dominant 6-0 SU and vs. the spread. Cincy suffered a few injuries (check status of CB
Dre’ Kirkpatrick and TE Jermaine Gresham; P Kevin Huber is out) at Pittsburgh. But they might catch a break if Adrian
Peterson (dangerous foot sprain) is held out again by the Vikings. QB Andy Dalton has had excellent rapport with
his receivers at home, with 14 TDs vs. only 5 interceptions. In fact, in Cincy’s last three home games, the Cats have
tallied 49 points vs. the Jets, 41 vs. the Browns, and 42 vs. the Colts. With the Vikings banged up in their secondary
and giving up 30 ppg this season, it’s no surprise if there’s a similar outpouring this week in Cincy
