The Bengals are riding a six-game winning streak and have been crazy hot against the spread all season, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the Pats pulling off an upset here.

The Patriots are coming into this weekend on the outside looking in when it comes to the AFC playoff picture, but just one game behind the 6th and 7th seeds.

The Patriots have dropped three of their last four games, but three were on the road. This week, they're back home hosting a Bengals team is in a tough spot playing on the road for a second straight week and on a short week at that.

8* PLAY ON NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS.
