Chad Johnson opening his mouth again. Funny because of that I feel this game will go over the total. Not the best way to cap this one but here is why I feel this way...

The Cowboys will make sure that Ocho Cinco does not score and kiss the star. No matter how much discipline Dallas have into not feeding into it I feel it will. They might be so wrapped up in making sure that CJ doesn't score the others on offense will.

I know it sounds stupid but Chris Henry is back on the team as well if I'm not mistaken.

Leaning on the over at 44 in this one.

TO trouble- see how good a coach Wade is. This is supposed to be his strong suit though- a players coach whose team's thrive when the locker room is on the same page and running smoothly. TO on a losing team where he isn't getting the ball can kill all that and it was only after one loss! So Wade has his work cut out for him. Luckily he is only facing the Bungles.

With that said I don't see Dallas losing but 16.5 is alot of points for any NFL team. Plus if Palmer is back he will definately have something to prove

heard he wanted to start last week but the coaching staff wouldn't let him.

He was pissed. Will be easier for him to find targets with the return of the suspended Henry. That other loudmouthed reciever also had alot to say this week and will have something to prove.

I'll take the points! GLTA

Watch out Dallas- don't start winning the locker room gonna become a soap opera.

Now I am hearing that Palmer probably won't start.

Anyone got any info on Cincy's starting QB?

All I have to say is there's nothing like being 0-4 and being a 17 point underdog to motivate you.

Toss in Dallas' 0-9 ATS mark as a favorite of 7 or more points in games off a SU home favorite loss and we'll gladly grab the generous points in this overlay today. Back the Bengals here today.

Found this quote in Free Picks, just for your information.

All those in this thread that think the Bengals have any chance to get within 28 points of Dallas are living in a fantasy world.

The Bengals are once again the worst team in the NFL. Ocho Cinco...Ocho Cinco?! That smacks of a guy who thinks he is funny, but is actually creepy. We all know someone like that.

This guy had a chance to be a premier player in the NFL. Instead, he has 116 receiving yards this season...this season?! Can you imagine this guy on a premier team. No chance. He would have difficulty cracking the line up on most CFL teams.

If they are losing 48-0, or so, to Dallas, it'll be interesting to see if he score a touchdown, to make it 48-6, or so, and kisses the star.

This will be a seriously lop-sided victory for Dallas.

The NFL does not have guaranteed contracts. Can't they just cut him loose?

Always bet against the Bengals ATS until they can correct their current situation.

My sympathies to the fine people of Cincinnati. Do you Cincy fans actually appreciate Johnson?

Sorry for the rant...I think last week pushed me over the edge with Cincy.

Good luck this weekend.

ask T.O. how that worked out for him when he dissrespected the star....I remember a Dallas player knocking him over and Hall of Famer Emmit Smith having a good time on the star

Bengals team total over 13.5 (4 units to win 3.3) vs. Cowboys - while I fully expect the Boys to take out their frustration on the Bungals I still think Cincy will put up some points. Carson Palmer should play today, and if he doesn't then they have no chance at winning this game. I thought about taking the spread of +16.5 here but then again I could easily see a 42-17 ending. I figure the best chance I have is the team total, how hard is it to not score 2 TDs? Well I know they've only hit that mark once (23 points vs. NYG), but the Dallas defense is like a sieve and is giving up 22 ppg. Something has to give for the Bengals offense, and while they won't win this game they will at least put up some points.

Doesn't sound stupid to me. This game has the makings to be where the Cowboys get off to a big lead and relax and then the Bungles actually get a little something going until the Boys wake up again. So, probably some junk points by Cincy to take it over 44. Cowboys win. Who knows if they'll cover... that's a lot of points in the NFL

Ok, I think the final educated verdict is to take the over in this game. You're taking a risking betting on either team to cover..but that's the beauty of gambling isn't it? taking a risk?

Cowboys secondary will be waiting for the pass all day, so I expect a few picks from whoever starts for Cincy...Just dont see the Bengals in this one at all...Cowboys should cover this one IMO

Why does everybody think the Cowboys are the greatest thing since sliced bread? They get their asses handed to 'em last week AT HOME by the friggin' Redskins, and if it wasn't for a stupid rookie "early touchdown celebration" by the Eagles Jackson (once again, AT HOME!!) - this would be a 2-2 team right now. Where's this great "Dynasty" everybody's talking about? Palmer's in - Henry's back - I see now it's down to 16.5 - hopefully you guys got it when it was 17.5 like I did - Once again - GO OCHO STINKO!!!!!!!!!

You're right - that was a little extreme - I should have said, " The Better Team Won" - HA!!!

If Cincy could score against the Giants defense then I'm pretty confident that they could do the same against Anthony Henry and co. Over 45.5

...Plus I went to church this morning. They talked about harvesting grapes. I couldn't help but to compare grapes with cash...I'm ready for my fall harvest!!!

this is pretty much ez if you look at the spread and last weeks game....so last week Dallas being favored at home lost to a divisional opponent. The spread was only 6.5-7 depends on where you get it from. Now this week they are favored by 16-17? you're thinking wtf? what an ez pick if they cant cover 6-7 points how the hell they are goin to cover 16 points? well they can and will...Big D UP!

Without Palmer, or at least an injured Palmer if he plays? Can you share your reason with us? I think Dallas kills the hapless, dysfunctional Bungles.
