Cashed our free one on Arkansas yesterday and swept CFB. Here's my best bet for Sunday. Played it earlier. I'd play the ML now, probably.
262 HOU-1.0 (-120) 5Dimes vs 261 CIN |
|
Analysis: Houston has owned the Bengals, but this was an easy call for me. We know the Saints aren't what they were, so although I have to credit Cincinnati for winning handily in New Orleans, they're still the Bengals. The angle I really like here is Mallet. Obviously the team has responded, and they're getting Clowney more healthy as time goes by. But Mallet is a product of several years in New England, and he didn't learn "nothing", as others like Matt Cassell and Brian Hoyer didn't. Plus, he's familiar with the "system", the same "system" that Bill O'Brien helped run in New England for five years. When in doubt, although there was none in this game, go with the better coach, QB, and defense, and Houston has all three and is at home.
