Week 3 on the NFL and today's showdown is for the AFC between the Bengals and the Titans.

Warmly started season Bengals with two wins last home against Falcons with their defense to take the lead of the match and relatively easy to stop an up tempo attack. The Titans lost in their second match against Cowboys, showing problems in their aggressive performance.

Bengals is coming in, but I'm going to go all the way to this, as both teams have shown a good defensive performance this season, and a somewhat aggressive offensive. For Titans we also said last week, a team that likes the run game and eats time from the clock with relatively large drives. They showed a problem with the run game but here Bengals would not say they have an appeal to both the run. On the contrary, their passing game will be tested as the Titans have shown good pass-through data so far, as will the absence of the top Green player for the Bengals. Aggressively the Titans have a problem at all, Locker is not comfortable and the team becomes one-dimensional. The Bengals, though well moving the ball, have difficulty converting their red zone opportunities and could have more points in their matches. Defensive is elite both against the run and at all.

Under has brought Tenn. in their first two games, both left behind 40 points, while Cinci did the same in both matches. In the last 7 matches that have been given to Cinci 6 have stayed under. 4-1 under the Cinci under the last 5 in September, and 4-1 the Titans on the bottom in the last 5 within the AFC.

Conservative game plan from the Titans once again in today's game, Pasa does not work so the ball will stay on the ground. How much success it will have against a top defense remains to be seen. That Five. will have the upper hand and will control the match with his defense, his attack has not shown explosiveness and effectiveness so far but gets the matches, while against them they will find a remarkable defense from the Titans, clearly better than their attack. Low score I see here and I'll go to under. At 43 the threshold with the under is to pay 1.90 to B365.

Non conference matchup for Falcons and Bengals here on Sunday, two teams that started with victories in their season.

Great victories for both as they won a divisional match at the premiere, the Bengals except for a long-standing seat for these Ravens with 23-16, and the Falcons within the Saints in a crazy match 37-34.

Only one of the results is easy to understand who has the best defense here. Considering the Bengals defensive line one of the best in the NFL, and I think it will be particularly successful today in the pass rush to the Falcons. The Falcons note that they are now playing without their two main offensive guards. Traditionally the Cinci is possible at home, and in recent years Dalton has often raised its numbers in its home games. The Bengals on the premiere showed that they could easily reach the red zone but did not make touchdowns, and here I expect to change this as the red zone defense of Atlanta is quite inferior as we saw in their own premiere.

Also the spot here for the Falcons I would not say it is the best. Besides the fact that they are in a difficult position, it is an off-home non-conference match which many times the teams do not give the 100%, followed by an important divisional match against Tampa. Falcons might also be a bit flopped after their victory against the Saints rivals, as the match had intense emotional transitions and was judged to be the extension.

I do not hide that I like Cinci. here, while it has some good trends over it. 5-1 at the 3 last year as home-based favorite (3.5-7 points) and 6-1 at the same time in non-conference matches.

In the week 1, several favorites broke and covered the underdog, of course this will not happen every week and I think here is a good chance to get the favorite. That Five. has a lot of points for today's match and I feel like we have a pretty good line to cover as the book has given a little more weight than it had to win the Falcons against the Saints. In -5 the line to be covered by Bengals @ 1.90.

Great showdown at AFC North, between Baltimore and Cinci. starting this season with a classic derby.

This pair has been monopolized by home winners for years, with the Bengals losing 3 last year to Baltimore and taking the home match against 34-17. Surely the Bengals have taken steps in the last few years with three consecutive play-offs but have not managed to go any further. Dalton is waiting for a lot of things and this year he also signed a new contract, with the team having a pretty good trunk in the defensive field (19 points accepted last year). This time I expect the Bengals to make a regular regular season and will want to get into the right here.

Ravens disappointed last year after conquering the Superbowl. Team without explosion and more relied on defense. There were problems for the first match with the team going down with -2 running backs, good Rice and Bernard if they played will be far from 100%. Flacco, who likes great passes, will have to change a little this year as he has a new offensive coach who prefers the nearby passing game.

Quite a split pair with time and Ravens being ahead of 18-17 in a match from 92 'and then an independent seat, with both opponents as we said to exchange wins at home.

The two teams have not changed very much, but this rather works in favor of the Five. here since last year's games showed better image than Ravens and I think it's a group with more thirst for discrimination. Also consider a more dynamic and youthful defensive line which can control the evolution of the match and get the upper hand here in a match that will be quite tough. The Ravens are always strong in the home but little is the absence of the running game today and a little premiere I think makes them more vulnerable than usual. In -1 with -2 the Ravens favorite line shows that it will be a closed match and maybe ambiguous, in today's match I give a small lead to the Bengals and think it is good timing for an away win in a difficult home after years. With Bengals on a money line here, with the best price offered by Paddy Power @ 2.10.

Last choice for today in the prime-time match that closes today's NFL schedule. Five and Pitt. will give their fight today to a showdown for AFC North.

That Five. makes another good season this season and is close to his second North Division record with record 9-4. This year's season ends with two games at home after today's Minesota and Baltimore. In theory, only Baltimore threatened but I think he will still have no problem with a victory. In quite good form the team with three consecutive wins last in front of Colts (42-28). Inside is always a better team, the Bengals with their trips usually have more influence on the aggressive piece with the team scoring 7 less points than an anchor. In today's match Bengals are given as a favorite at Pitt. for the first time after 1989. A basic absence of Cinci. today's RB, while defensively losing three relatively basic players in different positions.

Pitt. with the two defeats he made is back to the wall. He has to win three victories in his last games in order to have hope and wait for help from other results. 5-8 this year's record, it is good that after today we will close with two relatively tight matches, Green Bay, Cleveland. Steelers's attack has been a lifetime lately, but unfortunately the usually strongest defense has not fluctuated to the same level, especially in the last match in the 28-34 defeat by the Dolphins. In the last 3 matches Pitt. draws about 25 points while accepting 22. Today he has to solve some problems in the defense with absences and doubt but the specific players are types that tighten the teeth and usually make their appearance on the court. Today's 7 is coming from a regular season that Steelers are given as underdogs in home games. 27-16 ATS Pitt opposite Cinci from 92 'and then an independent seat.

The two teams played earlier in the season with 20-10 victory for the Cinci. as a favorite 7 points.

A classic derby between the two teams from the same division, with the Steelers in a must win situation to stay alive for the play-offs. The Cinci. is a better team this year but the fact that they have made a small cushion in the standings may affect them a little today. Statistically, if I see it, I believe that the Steelers will come out a little higher today, unlike the Cinci. which is a bit always fallen out. At the end of the day I believe that the match will be judged on who wants it the most and needs the victory and the scales are tilted towards the Steelers for me. In money line I will get Pitt. since the advance they give them at +1.5 has no special value. 2.15 the best price on Stoiximan.

Another AFC showdown on the NFL between the Chargers and the Bengals on the west coast. 

The Bengals are leading the AFC North (7-4 record) two games in front of the Ravens with whom they are currently lagging behind in a tie and will see them again last season. The rest of their schedule to the end may hide traps as they have a match with Colts and Steelers along with an easy Vikings. With victory today they make a decisive step to win the top in their division. Last week ended a negative win against Cleveland 41-20. The Bengals play aggressive defense and create enough turnovers and sacks keeping opponents close to 19 points. Aggressively Dalton is not always stable but the attack points out points while he gets points of defense, 25 μ. This year. The 3 Bengals have been 6-1 at least as 3-7 at least as 1-3, while XNUMX-XNUMX has been running XNUMX last years when they play with teams with a negative record in the second half of the season.

Chargers are at 5-6 at AFC and try to keep them alive on the wild card. Their program is quite difficult and I do not think they can do it. After today's match they have Giants, Denver, Oakland and Kansas City. Last week they were lucky in a match they probably had to lose as Kansas lost almost all of its defensive power to the half-time so Rivers could easily get away. Even so the victory took 41-38 in the final phase of the game, with their defense being negative for another match. In the last 3, the team receives close to 30 points, and is aggressively close to 24 this year, with today's test against a good defensive set. Two doubts about the current San Diego match that are basically part of the attack, Gates and Mathews, both have not been trained this week, while they have other 5 doubts on the defensive track today. 2-9 straight up the 3 Chargers last year in a match he has given from Week 10 to Week 13.

For San Diego I have once again said that it did not look like a complete team, and Rivers as qb has overtaken himself this year and owes a bad look. The criticality of the match does not allow for relaxation and so I expect the Bengals to make their best today, passed 20-13 from Diego last year. The most crowded team of the Bengals and with a lot of defensive talent can create a lot of problems in San Diego, while aggressively will also find corridors in the air against vulnerable defense. Underdog lightweight here by the Bengals, which automatically gives value to the double, similar to Miami earlier but with the Bengals being a little better team, and the Chargers in turn are a little better than the Jets. So, as the prices are right now with the money line close to 1.95 for Bengals, I'll get + 1 Paddy power with 1.90. 

The second choice I will make in today's NFL program comes from the Ohio battle between the Five. Bengals and Clev. Browns, two teams from the same state.

Another match from AFC with the Bengals to be at the top of the Division and the Browns to persecute them. The Cinci. he missed the Browns early than 6-17, but has since wins 4 and has taken the lead in the scoring, but it has been unfortunate in the last two games, losing marginally to the extra time. The return to today's headquarters only good things can bring as it is at 4-0 this year, 6-4 as a whole, with upgraded numbers almost always for the whole group within. Today's match is an opportunity for qb Dalton to find himself after the two average off-season appearances as he is another man when playing at Paul Brown Stadium. 5-1 ATS the Five 3 last years when you bet 3.5 to 7, while against the Browns in two 3 victories last year, and 11 wins 18 matches from 92 'and then at XNUMX' Five.

The Browns in a year they were waiting to be tougher managed to stay close to the top. Characteristically, last year's 5 wins have been at 4 / 5 and it's still the season. Of course, I think they still have a lot of slumbering from the team and will have difficulty getting a match like today's, with particular importance to the character of the derby. With the third QB on the wheel, Campbell, who is still stable so far, but I think it's a matter of time to make a bad look and it may happen today in a tricky seat.

Here I give a lot of weight to the headquarters and the transformation that the Bengals have in their home. The fact that they have already lost once to the Browns makes a second defeat prohibitive, especially against a team which, if we put the names double, lags behind in class and quality. The Bengals gave 4 matches against capable opponents inside, they covered the handicap in everything, why not do it today against Cleveland? With two bad results in the back, the Bengals consider that they need victory more today and it will be seen on the field. Several lines close to -6 for the Bengals today, so at -4 and 1.80 the price on Stoiximan is worth it in my opinion.
