Washington vs. Cincinnati

Cincinnati has not had problems in the regular season, but the playoffs have been a disaster. Their 3-4 start suggests that this team may be heading in the wrong direction. The Bengals have made the playoffs for five straight years, and the secret, or change agent was the defense that allowed no more than 21.5 points per game in any season. In fact, over the five-year span, the Bengals defense combined to allow fewer than 20 ppg. This year they are allowing 23.1 ppg. Meanwhile, Washington has not been good on defense, allowing 20 points or more in six of their seven games. The offense has been very good in the air, while Cincinnati has allowed 7.3 yards per attempt in the air. The Washington offense is averaging 278 yards per contest is going to score here. Under Coach Gruden, the Redskins have played to a 19-9 mark to the OVER when playing on regular six days of rest. The average total in the NFL is 45.6 ppg, and this one isset at 47, making it an average NFL game, these teams are poised to score a lot more. Play on the OVER.
