Both teams won and covered on Sunday as the Eagles moved to 3-3 against the spread, while Cincinnati sits at 4-3 overall ATS. The Eagles covered the one other time they were underdogs this season, while Cincinnati is yet to cover a home betting spread.

Go Browns.

This to me is the defining game if this team is for real or not this season… going to require all 3 phases to play well to win this one.

Big test for the 2ndary against Brown and Smith

 

Not to mention the front 7 with Barkley

Ian Eagle provides decent play by play .

 

Saw there that the great Kevin Harlan is in Vegas

doing their matchup with Chiefs.

Wish he was scheduled to do more Bengal games .

 

Doesn't really matter ad long as get the win this Sunday

Charles Davis makes me mute the TV. Offers zero insight into how/why something happened on a particular play. Instead, while a replay is shown, he simply describes what everybody can see happening (with one or two superlatives thrown in), and then adds something like, "...but Smith said, 'Not in MY house!' "

 

Ooooh, so insightful.

over the Stains

Don't know what Zach is trying to say bout OBJ.

I hate coachspeak..

 

If he sits out I'd go with Cody Ford over Volson at LT 

Some have said  Volson is athletic enough for the move.

I don't want 11 anywhere close to protecting JBs blindside

That sounds like the type of player you want to sign to a long-term deal, but what do I know

This is the right call. 

 

Leave Mims at RT for the next decade and let him be the All Pro he's capable of being there. 

A win vs Philly to put the team at .500 would be huge considering the way things started.
