San Diego vs. Cincinnati - January 5, 2014 - 1:05 PM
Pick: Your pick will be graded at bookmaker @ -7 -105 Cincinnati
Expert: Ben Burns
Evaluation: Jan 5 - 1:05 PM
Reason For Pick:
I’m playing on CINCINNATI. Not only do I believe the Bengals are a better team, I believe that the venue and start time will work in their favor.
The Chargers are a warm weather team from the West Coast, playing a cold early game in the Eastern time zone.
While they already won 17-10 at San Diego, the Bengals are even tougher here at home. Indeed, they were were a perfect 8-0 here on the season.
Cincy is particularly stingy defensively at home. The Bengals allow only 16.7 and 289.4 yards per game here.
While the Chargers are happy to be here, the Bengals’ season will be a failure if they lose here. They’re 7-1-1 ATS The last nine times that they were listed as home favorites in the 3.5 to 7 range. I look for them to improve on those stats this afternoon, taking the next step with a big playoff win. 10*
