Low Positive

You don’t get 3 being the home team anymore. It’s usually 1.5 or so, but it varies from game to game. I posted an article on this up thread.

Last night was an interesting case for Collinsworth. He played for the Bengals, lives in Cincinnati and is around the team all the time. I think he did a professional job of analyzing the game and not being a homer. But I’m sure Ravens fans don’t agree.

What they were taking you on for is that Vegas odds makers don’t just give the home team an automatic 3 points anymore. You’re right in that was the practice for a long time. Now, they actually try to use analytics to figure out what the home field is worth in any given game. It’s usually closer to 1.5 but it varies. Here is a discussion of this: https://amp.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/nfl-odds-how-much-home-field-advantage-worth-spread

People, me included, say a lot of crazy things that we don’t really mean in the heat of the moment.

I watch every Bengals game living here. This is who they are. Hot and cold.

They just have flaws like all NFL teams in the salary cap er.

No horse collars in the pocket.

The entire right side of the OL is out injured.

The only time the Bengals scored more than 40 all year was against the Panthers.

I feel like you guys have only watched the Bengals through highlights.

Bengals always go cold at some point. They scored 3 points in the second half last week.

Oh no. Go read their game thread. They are livid.

On the second Bills drive of the game, Josh beat a cover 0 blitz with a long pass to Diggs that set the first TD. We love those plays when they work.

Why are we talking about the Bills here. This game is fantastic (no defense) and there is a post game thread to complain about Ken Dorsey. Most teams do.

Me too. No alcohol, just BP.

I know that no one want to hear this right now, but the Bengals had wins by7, 3 and 3 on their way to the SB. The Raiders had the ball inside the 10 down 7 at the end of the game. I thought that this would be a blowout, but playoff games tend to be close.

I drank nothing but water all game. I did have to turn it off for a while.

Doubled

Or if their game is close too. Could happen.

Strange. we’re going to sushi too

I was wrong about this one. But as Mike Krzyzewski said, “survive and advance.”

That’s not Dorsey. That’s Josh seeing 1-1 coverage and throwing it deep.

They’re not handling the blitz.

This would be the worst loss in Buffalo Bills history, given everything. Heads will have to roll.
