NFL betting in Week 3 has the Super Bowl champion New York Giants hosting the Cincinnati Bengals. The Giants are a solid NFL football betting favorite against the Bengals in this game. Here is more information on this Week 3 NFL matchup.
NFL on the Giants continues to be popular in 2008-2009. The Giants closed out the 2007-2008 season on a huge run which culminated with a Super Bowl win. They started the 2008-2009 season with an NFL betting pointspread cover against the Washington Redskins. The Giants look for real in the NFC again this season with quarterback Eli Manning and a balanced offense. The Giants will be getting most of the NFL football betting action in this game against the Bengals.
Cincinnati has also picked up right where they left off last season as a bust. The Bengals laid an egg in their opening week loss at Baltimore, failing to win or cover against the NFL line. The Bengals again look overrated, poorly coaches and poorly prepared according to NFL experts. They could be a go-against for many NFL gamblers this year. On paper the Bengals look to have enough talent, especially offensively, but according to NFL experts the chemistry is lacking. The Bengals have a quarterback in Carson Palmer that has shown flashes of brilliance in his career and they have super receivers in Chad Johnson and T. J. Houshmandzadeh according to NFL football betting experts. Head coach Marvin Lewis is supposed to know defense but the Bengals have continually struggled on that side of the ball and now it seems to have carried over to every phase of the team, including the offense.
NFL stats show that the teams have met five times since 1985. Cincinnati is 3-2 straight up and against the NFL betting number in those five meetings. Their last meeting was in 2004 at Cincinnati when the Bengals pulled out a 23-22 win according to NFL betting stats. At New York, the Giants have won both meetings but are 1-1 against the NFL number. Of the five meetings between the two teams since 1985, four have gone over the NFL football betting number.
