Thoughts on TNF?

[crazykind]

Na, it's more to do with the fact thar CLE Offense is regressing big time. And has key injuries.

The emotional angle just gives CIN a little extra motivation. Less chance some players take plays off. And more chance they give it 110%

The injury to the center has affected the ground game, no doubt, we'll see if the few weeks of practice and game experience has created a little more cohesiveness

This game is a rivalry game, an in-state battle for bragging rights, and the division lead is on the line -- if anyone needs more motivation than this then someone should check their pulse

I've found that giving 100% is plenty enough, 110% and things get a little sloppy haha

As mentioned above, this game is easy to overthink, it reminds me of other games this year where contrarians took the underdog and got burnt (i.e rams/niners in st louis, giants/colts this last weekend) - sometimes you have to just say fuck it and take the better team, especially when at home...what im having a problem deciding is how much better, if at all, the Bengals truly are -- i also notice that almost 80% of the public is on Cincy and yet the line has only moved a half a point and is refusing to touch the key number of 7

Im usually guilty of too much thought, we'll find out the truth in a few hours

That's my problem right there...I feel like cincy will win but not sure about winning by a touchdown. A big part of me is feeling like this may be closer than that, but I'm still not sure.

Kind of want to just moneyline the bengals and be done with it ha ha.

That is a problem. About 85% of games, team that wins game covers the spread. As crazykind said, dont over think it.

Misleading percentage as any underdog that wins obviously covers the spread.. Not nearly as high of a percentage when the favorite wins..
