Jets Bengals Spread For NFL Wild Card Betting - 01-08-10
January 8 - The NFL playoffs begin on Saturday with the match up between the AFC North Champions, the Cincinnati Bengals against the wild-card qualifiers, the New York Jets.
The Jets Bengals spread has been in continual flux this week as a ton of money has come for New York to cover the line. The Bengals opened as solid -3.5 point favorites but offshore bookies are now offering -1 point on Cincinnati, with others still showing -2.5 points as the best you can get on the home team. That still represents a significant shift from the opening call for this market.
The Over/Under for total points is low at 33.5 points but many experts are predicting that points will be hard to come by here as both teams are renowned for stingy defense this season.
The Jets have found good support after beating the Bengals black and blue last week, but of course the Bengals were not trying as they had nothing to play for whereas the game was a playoff in essence for New York. We expect that this time it will be a lot closer, but perhaps the Jets will still win through again in what would now be at best a minor betting upset.
