Transcript

00:00After an 0-3 start, very little margin of error, of course, for the Bengals.

00:08No margin of error yesterday. Cincinnati blows out the Raiders 41-24.

00:14The Bengals cover as a 7.5 point favorite.

00:17Donnie, inexplicably, perhaps, they lose last week as a slight home favorite against Philadelphia.

00:23Got Manhandle losing by 20 points.

00:26They have, after the 0-3 start, 1-4 of 6.

00:30They are trending up right now in Cincy.

00:33No, they are trending up.

00:34And even after that game last week where the Philadelphia Eagles absolutely blasted them,

00:37you knew they'd get a win because the lowly Raiders are coming to town.

00:40But now we see at the Ravens, at the Chargers and the Steelers,

00:42your best bet in that is to go, hopefully, 1-2.

00:45I still don't think that they're going to be able to make the playoffs due to that stretch coming up.

00:49And again, you don't stop getting injured.

00:50But let's just focus on yesterday and what made sense.

00:53Last week before, my best bet on pro football today was over 1.5 touchdown passes

00:57for Patrick Mahomes against the Raiders.

00:58Why?

00:59Because the Raiders have the worst cover defense in football.

01:01So I said, you know what?

01:02Why mess up a good thing here?

01:04Joe Burrow down to basically one wide receiver because everybody's been injured.

01:07I didn't care.

01:08Made it my best bet again yesterday.

01:10And he threw them quickly.

01:11What did he have?

01:12Four or five touchdowns total in that game?

01:13Touchdown passes?

01:14Five.

01:15It went over easily because that is a bad organization for the Vegas Raiders.

01:18It's just a shame the way this season's set up for the Bengals to start the season.

01:22Too much animosity from the wide receivers.

01:23They weren't able to click and camp here.

01:25The defense is abysmal.

01:26But the one thing we do know is Joe Burrow is a damn good quarterback.

01:29And he is fun to bet on.
