Bengals Top AFC North

The Cincin­nati Ben­gals (7–2) are def­i­nitely the top cats in the AFC North, after 20 sea­sons of fruit­lessly play­ing cat and mouse with the Super Bowl cham­pi­ons Pitts­burg Steel­ers (6–3). The Ben­gals are now giv­ing the Steel­ers a run for their money.

Bet­ting odds for the Ben­gals to win Super Bowl are now at +1000 along with the Steelers.

All eyes were on Bill Belichick’s stunned face last night, his deci­sion to “go for it” on 4th down late in the final quar­ter risked the whole game for the New Eng­land Patri­ots. The result? The Pats were denied and Pey­ton Man­ning went on to throw a one-yard touch­down to take the unbeaten Indi­anapo­lis Colts to vic­tory. Pats quar­ter­back Tom Brady was cer­tainly right when he said: “It’s a bum­mer”. The big­ger ‘bum­mer’ may have been for Patriot bet­tors who pounded the +1 bet­ting line at Lines­Maker and other major sports­books. Most experts have con­cluded...
