We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant ATS trends and common sense:

As note that the Bengals are 10-8 ATS in their last 18 as an underdog (including 2-0 this year), while Carolina is just 8-11 ATS in its last 19 as a favorite.

The bottom line: Carolina's defense was exposed in last week's loss to Atlanta. The Panthers are one-dimensional, as the Bengals have the fourth ranked rush defense. Cincinnati not getting enough respect considering how well the offense is performing. Grab the points, play on the BENGALS.
