Cincinnati Bengals vs San Diego Chargers NFL Predictions, NFL Odds & NFL Picks: Two division top dogs will go at it this afternoon as the AFC North leading Bengals are in San Diego to face the AFC West leading Chargers. Today's game is scheduled to kickoff at 4:05pm ET at Qualcomm Stadium; it will be broadcast live on CBS. NFL Predictions at online bookmaker BetUS.com has San Diego listed as a -6.5 against the spread home favorite.
Bengals Breakdown: Cincinnati lost for just the second time in the last seven weeks on Sunday as the Vikings laid a 30-10 
beatdown on the Bengals at the Metrodome. The loss dropped Cincy's record to 9-4 and reduced their lead over the Ravens to 2.5 games. While the setback to Minnesota may have been discouraging, the Bengals have had to deal with a much bigger issue this week as wide receiver Chris Henry died after falling out of the back of a moving truck. Henry's tragic passing will, no doubt, weigh heavily on the hearts and minds of the entire Cincinnati franchise when the team takes the field against the Chargers today.
The Bengals are 4-2 on the road this year (3-3 ATS), despite averaging just 19.3 points per game as a visiting squad. Cincy has dropped its last two away games, losing to the Raiders 17-20 on November 22nd and the aforementioned Vikings last weekend.
Chargers Breadown: San Diego won its eighth straight game on Sunday, advancing its record to 10-3 and giving them a two game edge on the Broncos in the AFC West. The Chargers went into Dallas and beat the Cowboys 20-17, giving them their third road win in the last four games. A victory against the Bengals today and the Chargers will almost guarantee themselves the number two seed and a first round playoff bye.
San Diego is 4-2 (3-3) at Qualcomm Stadium this year, but they have won three in a row (by an average of 15 points per game) at the facility coming into this afternoon's contest.
NFL Predictions Betting Trend: San Diego is 7-3 against the spread and 7-3 straight up in its last 10 games as a home favorite with a spread between 4 and 7.5. Cincinnati is 3-7 against the spread and 3-7 straight up in its last 10 games as a road dog with a spread between 4 and 7.5.
