So the Jets are three point underdogs, but the payout is only -130, so I guess Vegas is expecting the Jets to lose by less than 3. Interesting.
i've seen +2.5 with +100 and cincy at -2.5 and -120. money seems to be going to cincy. home field's worth about 3 points, so most bookies see this as a toss up in a neutral field.
I don't mind being the underdog, but I gotta say I'm kinda shocked that the bookies didn't favor us in this one considering it was 30-0 when Palmer left the game in the 3rd.
cincy's 6-2 at home and 4-4 on the road. one of the home losses was on opening day to denver on a desperation miracle catch and the other was against an on-fire houston team. there's good reason to favor them at home.
doesn't a team get 3 points just for being home??.. not sure if that is true.. but I have heard it from a few ppl.. so when they are favored by three.. its an even line.. and when they are favored by 2.5.. jets are favored by .5 ..
Good points. But am I the only one who feels like Cincy really just isn't that good? I'm looking at their schedule right now, and their victories are not convincing to me, besides the Green Bay game. The Bengals beat: Green Bay Pittsburgh (x2) Cleveland (x2 - Game 1 in OT) Baltimore (x2) Chicago Detroit Kansas City Only 3 of their 10 victories were against playoff teams, and 2 of those 3 victories were over the same team, Baltimore. The Bengals lost to: Denver Houston Oakland Minnesota San Diego New York Jets They weren't able to get it done in the games against contenders.
Speaking of lines, I was taking a piss in the bathroom at a friends New Years party and a former Big East punter was doing a line on the sink countertop
Another JoeJet? 3 is a key number, so the book you used (Bodog), doesn't want to move off the number.
