Bengals vs Patriots Odds 2010 NFL Week 1 Predictions: Two great teams with 2010 NFL Playoff hopes will clash this Sunday at 1 PM ET when the New England Patriots take the Cincinnati Bengals at Gillette Stadium in the season opener. The Bengals vs. Patriots NFL Betting Point Spread have the Patriots at -4.5 at BODOG.com
The Patriots and the Bengals won their respective divisions last year but ended up losing their title hopes early in the NFL playoffs, both were eliminated in the Wild Card Games. The Pats begin their journey for their seven division title in eight years against a team with a strong methodic defense as the Bengals.
Last season QB Tom Brady had his second career best year throwing for 4398 yards, 28 TDs and 13 interceptions, keep in mind this will be Brady´s second year after his knee surgery so he should be better than last year. He will have WR Randy Moss in what could be the best shape of his career and a fully recovered WR Wes Welker, but also two amazing rookies as tight end in Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez; the bottom line is the three time Super Bowl champs will have a lot of weapons at Brady's disposal.
The Bengals defense will need to be paying alot of attention to all of those Patriots receivers and will try to have the same chemistry defending as they did last season; Cincinnati´s defense was 6th defending the pass and 7th stopping the run and they were the reason with they swept the AFC North in 2009.
Heading into 2010, coach Marvin Lewis had one big problem; passing the ball. Last season the Bengals were 26th in passing yards and they struggled against great passing defenses but you should know the Patoriots are not this kind of D. QB Carson Palmer will have more weapons because Terrell Owens joined Chad Ochocinco as wide outs and Jordan Shipley and Jermaine Gresham will be a threat when they are in a spread formation.
The Bengals are 7-2 ATS as underdogs since 2009 but 24-44 ATS 1st month of season; the Pats on the other hand are 2-4 ATS in September games. New England is 3-0 straight up against Cincinnati since 1992 but 0-3 against the spread.
