Football Sports Betting

After week one’s ridiculous football betting loss at home to the underdog Broncos it looked like it was going to be another very long and very loss-filled season in Cincy. But a strange thing happened. The Broncos turned out to be a pretty damn good team and the Bengals have since reeled off four straight football betting wins and are in sole passion of the very tough AFC North. Who would have thought it?

What makes the Bengals string of wins all the more impressive is the fact that they’ve won three games in a row on the road and have a perfect 3-0 so far in the division. The team now controls its own destiny in terms of wrapping an AFC North football betting title and is already light years ahead of its division rivals with three division victories.

We all know what Carson Palmer and Chad Ochocinco can do when they’re firing on all cylinders and the passing game has been as good as ever this year. The running game, led by Cedric Benson, has also been on fire and he just scorched the Ravens for 120 yards, becoming the first RB to gain 100+ yards against the team in almost three sports betting seasons.

But the real difference maker this season has been the defense.

Yes, that’s correct. The Bengals have learned to play defense. With a solid corps of hard hitting linebackers this unit looks more like the Steelers or Baltimore than the soft Cincy teams of recent years. The team has also gotten tremendous QB pressure up front from Antwan Odom (league leading 8 sacks) and it can play man deep down field with either of its shutdown CBs without worries. So long as this team continues to thrive on D, it will win the AFC North football sports betting title.
