BOL Teams that play 3 times in the same season, who are 2-0 going in to the 3rd game, are 14-7 I believe. I could be wrong there because I calculated myself - so please correct me if I am wrong.   I heard the same exact numbers today.  14-7.  The "it's hard to beat a GOOD team three times in a row" is a myth lately.

And the Bengals run more empty sets than any team in the NFL.

If the Bengals get Burrow seriously hurt again(by not providing him a decent o line), they should go on trial.

Best of Luck this weekend peace_5

I have to agree with you on KC, they got the experience, coach, and qb which more times than not prevail in the playoffs. Throw in a bit of revenge factor and you got yourself pretty solid reasons for a KC win and cover. The second the Rams line came out at 3.5- I said Rams LINE DICTATES THE GAME. Man, that's an enticing line for a 9ers bettor, right? Not only did Vegas give ya 3 points after you've beat them 6 times in a row, they gave ya the hook as well AND you'll have more fans than the Rams at SOFI!!!!  Cannot disagree with the points you made, very solid, especially about McVey self destructing in big games. BUT, Rams turn now. Donald, Floyd, Miller on the D line is where they're gonna win.  Stafford, Kupp, ODB, Higbee, Akers will be too much.  Jimmy G will get his interception or 2 because of the high pressure he will experience all game. I'm not getting into the conspiracy chit, but you really gotta think about the NFL and what Kronke did bringing that team to LA??? Just some food for thought and my take on the game. GL to you rest of the way and I enjoy reading your stuff!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks.

Hope you are wrong about the Rams.

I think the chances of a "not close" game are very good.

I will be on alternative spread numbers also (laying more than 7 at +odds)

Ran across this stat today 

 

The #49ers Defense plays Zone on 72% of snaps; 7th highest rate in the NFL. Matthew Stafford has been a different quarterback when facing Man versus Zone.

Good to see you posting.

Burrow has taken the most sacks of any QB ever to reach the Championship game. Every QB with at least 50 sacks didn't fair so well in this game

I dont think KCs defense is anywhere near the Rams, especially on the D Line....

I dont either.

But I certainly dont think the Bucs OLine is anywhere near the Bengals OLine either.  In a bad way.

@vanzack

Reverse line movement??

All the 7.5 are gone with the majority of the bets and money on KC I am having a hard time pulling the trigger on KC.

I think the line is right, 7.5 seemed to be begging for Cin $ while 7 is screaming KC.

Very low % of the time line actually matters so just pick the winner.
KC should win so……an_light

leaning KC and SF thanks for your write ups an_cheers
