Default Patriots 4.5 favorite vs Bengals

Yes indeed, in 6 more days the Patriots play their first regular season game against the Bengals. The paper today shows the Patriots 4.5 favorites.

So what does that mean, if anything?

Depth Chart

Here is the Bengals depth chart. How do the Patriots match up against them? Maybe it's time to start to start focusing a little on the game rather than second guessing roster moves, but that's just me.

Not a good matchup for the Pats D IMO.The Bengals should be able to move the ball via the ground and air.

3 points for home field so this game is basically a tossup...

A turnover or ST will decide the outcome.

Defense has to get their act together fast as Jets and Revis are on the horizon.

McGowan made his mark early last year by helping shut down Gonzalez. Pressure's going to be on our new S Page to do the same with Gresham.

Looks to me like our first 35-28 game is just around the corner.

I think the Bengals are on their way back to their familair 6-10 territory after one flash in the pan season.
4.5 is based on those Bengals, same old Bengals would have it around 7.5, IMO.
This one doesnt worry me at all.

On the ground, it is. But through the air, I'm not so sure they're going to be able to torch us like everyone else thinks they will. That offensive line has SUCKED in the preseason and Palmer has been running for his life. For all of our problems on defense right now, I'm sure Bill will be able to scheme something up to get a good amount of pressure on Palmer from all angles. Their O-Line's inability to pass block this season should be the Bengals' undoing.

It means the bookies don't quite know what to make of the Patriots.
And if it's true with the bookies then it's true with the Pats opponents.
I like that!!
The Bengals are a really good team and this will be a terriifc statement game for the Patriots. And when all is said and done the bookies and the rest of the league will see how the Patriots D isn't anywhere near as bad as the mediots would have you believe and the offense is simply unstoppable
How fast will it take the Bengals to call timeout when the Crumpler, Gronk, Hernandez, Moss, Welker formation lines up??

No way......... We're gonna suck this year. I say we get beat by at least 60 on this one.

Everyone knows it, just read ANY other thread in here lately.

The rest of the league doesnt base anything on the mediots.
The bookies base everything on what the general public thinks, so the media has a big impact there, but players don't listen to the media to tell them what their opponenets are, by and large, they respect every opponent and know that at this level if you take anyone lightly you end up on your @ss
