BENGALS +3.5(-115) over Falcons(Lose 39-32)
BENGALS +2.5 over Falcons 1ST HALF--------After losing to weak teams on consecutive weeks(Browns, Tampa), I think the Bengals have to really COME with something here, you know? They're off their bye, so they should be strong in the 1st half(as Northwestern and Tennessee were yesterday). Falcons have beaten the Saints by 3 and blown out Arizona........but other than that they look average. They have home-0ff-road-loss here against the Bengals' off-bye. What did the Bowling Green Falcons do yesterday? They got CRUSHED at home, missing the cover by 22 points, by Kent State. The door should be WIDE open for the Bengals to have their best game of the season here. If they blow this............forget them.........forget about Owens-Ochocinco.........forget about it Palmer; they're not a serious team if they dont win this game.(Lose 24-3..............utterly pathetic. Bengals actually won the TO ratio(+1) and.........off a bye they drop the 1st half by 21 points. Dude, move this franchise to Omaha; Bengals are done)

RAMS +9 over Tampa teased with REDSKINS +9 over Bears(-110)---------After Cal Golden Bears rolled and Kent State Flashes crushed yesterday, I wanna play some gold so I'm going with the Rams who, although thought to be a bad team, have outgained their opponents in all of their last 4 games. And the main scorer of the HUGE Syracuse upset victory at West Virginia was Ross Krautman out of RAMapo HS going 4 for 4 on FG's. Redskins have Lorenzno Alexander on defense and, seriously, thats the name you want today after Alexander Robinson had 2 TD's for Iowa State upset victory......after Alex Carder had FIVE TD'S for Western Michigan.........after Alex Green had FOUR TD'S for Hawaii........after Alexander Teich had 210 yds rushing for Navy's demolishment of Notre Dame. (Personally, I cant bring myself to take Alex Smith). Redskins also have an AA at WR mirroring Iowa State's Austen Arnaud. Redskins have been outgained in all their games but they seem to play all teams close in score, as do the Bears. Bears have blown out Carolina but played close games in all their others. Redskins got beat by 14 by the Rams but been close in all their others. I have no reason to think Redskins/Bears would be either team blowing the other out; it should be close.(Win by 12 and 8.........DeAngelo Hall 4 INT's)
