Chicago at Cincinnati

The Cincinnati Bengals knew their playoff hopes revolved around Monday Night's game vs. Pittsburgh, and they put it all on the line. They had the a 10-point lead going into the fourth quarter and let it slip away in an ugly, 23-20 loss. It was a rough and physical game, and they came away banged up, bruised, and disappointed. Cincinnati is now 5-7 and the playoffs are pretty much out of reach. I expect a big letdown by their defense that is going to be banged up and on short rest. Chicago is 3-9, and playoff hopes for this team have gone up in smoke entering this one on a five-game losing streak. The Bears have generated fewer than 300 yards of combined offense in their last two games. While that may offer the appearance of a team that can't move the ball, history paints a different picture. A team having generated fewer than 300 total yards in total over their last two games plays OVER the total 65% of the time as oddsmakers over-adjust. Take the OVER.
