Result: Loss
Total: 44.50 | -105.00 Over
Result: Loss
The set-up: Both teams come in off high-scoring affairs last week, but I think points will be at more of a premium in this one. Cincinnati beat Baltimore 34-23, while Carolina fell 31-24 in Atlanta.
The teams: So far the Bengals are averaging 34 PPG and allowing 23. The rush defense has been fantastic, ranked fourth overall, so that definitely negates a major strength/focus of the Panthers today.
Carolina is averaging 20 PPG and allowing 19.5. The Panthers gave up 442 yards last week, so they'll be out to atone today in front of the home town crowd.
The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Cincinnati has seen the total go "under" the number in its last four as a road dog of three point or less, while Carolina has seen the total go "under" in five of its last seven as a favorite. The conditions are definitely right for a lower-scoring "under."
