00:00We got New England Patriots taking on Cincinnati Bengals.

00:06Bengals looking to be a sneaker in the mix and a lot of people

00:10are saying they deserve more respect on their name.

00:12Obviously this matchup sitting at a seven and a half spread

00:14currently on the lines, but is it as easy said and done that

00:17the Bengals are going to walk out with this one?

00:21You know, the Bengals start off week one slow and this line

00:24was eight and a half and we get the news that Tee Higgins

00:26is now doubtful and Jamar Chase is questionable. Higgins

00:30is dealing with the hamstring issue. So that makes it more

00:32doubtful. Chase, they think it's questionable due to the

00:35contract holdout, which still could get done. So it was

00:38eight and a half and moved to seven and a half in favor

00:40of the Bengals. I'm not laying the seven and a half points,

00:42but I'm also not betting on the Patriots because the Patriots

00:44are awful. So let's go to Andre Yoshivas, who is normally

00:49the third wide receiver who played some

00:52good slot time in the preseason, had a good showing in

00:54training camp. But again, if we're dealing with the two

00:57top wide receivers out, potentially out for the Bengals,

01:00Yoshivas, aka Yoshi, is the player to step up. He was

01:03sitting at plus 290 earlier today for a touchdown. That's

01:06where I got him. I still think he's at plus 230. I still

01:08think there's plenty of value there. If he drops below plus

01:11200, I wouldn't go to that number.
