Why My Week 3 Vikings Over Bengals Bet Could Blow Up in Unexpected Ways
First of all, Cincy’s 31-27 win as -3.5 favorites over the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday was a bogus cover. Jacksonville could’ve, should’ve kicked a field goal on 4th-and-5 on Cincinnati’s seven-yard line to take a six-point lead with 3:47 remaining. Instead, the Jaguars failed to convert on fourth down, and the Bengals scored a game-winning 93-yard touchdown drive for the win and cover.Â
Also, betting on teams the week after an ugly primetime loss is an old-school NFL handicapping angle because players and coaches usually respond with urgency. That angle is stronger here, given Cincy’s bad defense, inability to run the ball, or protect its passer.Â
