Denver @ CINCINNATI
CINCINNATI +4 -105 over Denver
We know all about Andy Dalton’s brutal record in prime time games because that’s all we’ve been hearing about in regards to this game since the line came out. In case you weren’t aware, we’ll make you so by sharing this vital information: since 2011, the year Andy Dalton became its starting quarterback, Cincinnati is 2-9 in nationally televised playoff games and night games on Monday, Thursday and Sunday nights. By contrast, Peyton Manning is 13-4 in regular-season games as a starter on Monday night. He has 36 TD passes and 16 interceptions in those games. That’s all well and good but we couldn’t give a rat’s ass about any of it. The media blows things way out of proportion. These “trends” or past results mean absolutely nothing. Who the f**k cares how Manning played on Monday night 10 years ago? What he did then on Monday Night or what he’s done since has zero impact on the outcome of this one. With hundreds of games played every year in every sport, one-sided trends will develop over time and some will stick out more than others but to base your selection on them is completely ludicrous. If Andy Dalton stinks it up tonight and Peyton Manning has a great game it’s not because one has been historically good in prime time and one has not. We could point out 20 strong trends from yesterday’s games that all lost and 20 strong one’s that all won. In other words, they mean absolutely jack.
The Bengals are fighting to remain in contention while the Broncos are playing for home-field advantage throughout. However, if New England defeats Buffalo next week in Foxboro, it won’t matter what the Broncos do. That doesn’t mean that Denver doesn’t care about tonight because they still have a chance for home-field throughout (you take nothing for granted in this league) and by the time they kick off next week against Oakland, the Patriots game against the Bills will be over. One must give credit to a team that is winning games because a win is a win but Denver has not been impressive at all over the past five weeks. It started with a 22-7 loss to St. Louis followed by a 39-36 fortunate victory over the Dolphins. The next three weeks saw the Broncos defeat K.C., Buffalo and San Diego but pretty it was not. Denver did not play well out in San Diego, as they scored one with Manning coming in and going out of the game and coming back in. His passes looked brutal (wobbly and not spirals and not just last week either) but they are amazingly accurate – for now. This has to be his last season and if the forecast holds and it is below freezing at game-time it could very well be too much for him. What drives him at this point to endure all that pain is anyone’s guess but whatever it is, it’s not a healthy situation. You can never write off Manning but the toll of a full season on his “old” body has taken effect. The Broncos figure to plan accordingly so you can expect Manning to throw plenty of quick strike, five-yard darts to avoid getting hit.
Nobody is giving the Bengals any credit for their 30-0 win in Cleveland last week against Johnny Manziel. We’re not giving the defense any credit either but the offense is a different story. Andy Dalton and the Bengals offense put together four long scoring drives against a defence that had been playing great football. More importantly, the Bengals have rushed for 1044 yards since Week 9 when Jeremy Hill's increase in production began. That ranks second in the league over that stretch. Across the first eight weeks, they ranked 21st, gaining just 780 yards. Hill has been running well in the past six weeks, topping 140 yards three times in that span. His hard running and guard Kevin Zeitler's constant pulling made for a nightmare day for Cleveland's defense. Of the four times this season when teams have run 25 or more times against Denver, they beat the Broncos three times. That figures to bode well here for a Bengals offense that are one of six teams averaging more than 30 rushing attempts per game this season. Indeed the Bengals have had some stinkers this season but they barely broke a sweat last week and they’ve still won six of their past eight games. Marvin Lewis’s team has shown a propensity to stumble when favored but plays its best with its back against the wall. Cinci will put itself in a great spot to make the playoffs with a win here and so we'll happily take better than a field goal at home against a Denver team that has already made its regular season bones this year and that isn’t playing that great anyway.
