CFB Playoff

Picks

The bengals game last thursday night is pretty much old news by a monday, but our last show was that morning, so we havent talked about it here on dialed in…….we will today.

It was an amazing game to watch. The highs and lows….the back and forth.

An offense which for alot of the night was breathtaking and for other parts, quite puzzling.

The defense which was so solid in the first half suffred a collapse of epic proportion in the second half.

Bottom line is baltimore sweeps the season series……lamar goes to 10-2 against the bengals and the record sits at 4-6.

Having sais that, the bengals are in a tie for the final wild card spot with indy…..INDY? PLAYOFFS?
The colts hold a tie break edge, but this season is by no means over…..we will talk about that.

Then there’s college football…….

Unbeaten Miami goes down.

Georgia looked awful in a loss to surging ole miss.

Ohio State rolled.

Indiana got it’s first major scare and was led by great defense in a win over michigan.

The first CFB playoff ramkings were released last week.

We will tell you who we believe should be in TODAY!

The Bengals are back at it this sunday as they welcome the las vegas raiders to town for a one pm kickoff at paycor stadium.

Cincinnati is more than a touchdown favorite in the game.

The raiders might be the most injured team in the nfl this season.

They’ve lost a quarterback, five starers on defense and multiple injuried along the offensive line.

The Bengals have their own issues on offense….we still don’t know about orlando brown or tee higgins availability for Sunday.

Brown played in spurts last week while higgins was not on the field at all.

Say this for the raiders…they do have the 11th-ranked defense in the league so far in yards allowed, yet rank near the bottom in scoring defense.

Alot of that has to do with the offense turning it over .

Gardner minshew is the vegas quarterback after initially losing his job to aiden o”connell to injury.

Boys, the bottom line is….this is the season.

We’ve said that alot already but you lose this game and it’s over.

Win, and your back to one game under with the ravens up next.

Bengals talk

PICKS- Last week and this week.

Talk UC- Ohio State world series with Casey Short show today

I don’t know about you, but this one FELT different.

Yes, the bengals have lost games where they should’ve won. Lost to teams they should’ve beaten, but in each of those I felt like a rebound would occur.

I’m not so sure anymore…this one felt different.

They play 60 minutes in a football game and for the first 40, it was a tie game…. A win to get to .500 right there for the taking .

But over the last 20 minutes the eagles scored 20 points….and did it in overwhelming fashion.

They bullied the cincinnati Bengals.

In the air…on the ground…in toughness.

And i don’t know about you but now there are legitimate questions about this team and this franchise moving forward.

Joe Burrow said its possible to win 7 of the last 9 games….

Do you honestly believe that?

Does HE honestly believe that?

It’s true in every sport….you cant even think about the playoffs if you’re not .500.

They’ve won 3 of their last 4 and a win gets you back to .500.

How good are the eagles? Eagle fans are asking the same thing.

Many say the eagles are the bengals of the nfc….

Big expectations….gross inconsistency.

Lets get right to it fellas…

Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 7 game Jon Hoefling USA TODAY At 2-4, the Cincinnati Bengals have been one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL, but they haven't been nearly as disappointing as Deshaun Watson has been for the Cleveland Browns. Despite boasting a remarkable defense and a group of solid players on offense (even after sending Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills), the Browns have a 1-5 record and virtually no hope of crawling out of the AFC North's basement. While a win over Cincinnati this weekend would move Cleveland to third in the division, that's a very hollow victory for a team that reached the playoffs with Joe Flacco at quarterback a season ago. For Cleveland, this is a battle for pride, something to help keep their heads held high. Sadly, the best-case scenario might be a humiliating defeat that forces Kevin Stefanski to replace Watson with Jameis Winston at quarterback. Here are our experts' predictions for this Week 7 showdown. Browns vs. Bengals odds, moneyline, over/under The Bengals are favorites to defeat the Browns, according to the BetMGM NFL odds.

Look, it wasn’t pretty…in any form or fashion.

The offense could never get it going against a very good giants defense.

The offensive line looked like it turned back the clock to 2022, allowing joe burrow to be sacked five times.

In fact, on one hot, Burrow had to go to the medival tent to be evaluated for a concussion….thankfully he was okay and returned to finish the game.

But at the end of the day, the bengals get a season-saving 17-7 win.

The defense, much maligned allseason, finally had it’s full cimpliment of healthy players along the dsefensive front, and they played like it…..

The defense, like during the run of afc championship games, won this game for the bengals.

Yes, you can say big deal, the giants offense stinks and they had two of their best players out….and you’d be right about that.

BUT , the defense got it done when the big moments called for it to show up.

The Bengals are now 2-4 with a trip to cleveland coming up next.

Do you feel any better about the team?

Around the nfc north,

The Browns are simply awful…i mean awful.

Cleveland gets 240 yards of offense in a 20-16 loss at philly.

The ravens knock off the commanders…that team is going to runaway and hide in this division.

I know, i know, the steelers are 4-2 and Justin Fields just keeps on rollin.

He only threw for 150 yards but he ran it for 60 and two touchdowns…didn’t turn it over as the men of aluminum beat the raiders 32-13.

How do you think Jerry Jones is feeling this morning?

His cowboys get annihilated by detroit 47-9.

Bad news for the lions though, as they lose star defensive end aiden hutchinson for the season with a broken leg.

College football…..UC gets another win, 19-13 at ucf…… they are 4-2 and get arizona state this week at nippert for homecoming.

ASU beat number 16 Utah friday night som that’s no layup.

Ohio State lost at oregon and shouldve won by ten or more.

They turn it over twice, leading to ten oregon points off those turnovers.

The defense was brutal.

The Buckeyes onlly drop to number 5 in the polls but their margin of error gets slimmer with the loss.

They still have to play at unbeaten penn state, against unbeaten indiana, and close the year against michigan.

In baseball, the dodgers clobber the mets i game one of the nlcs 9-0.

Game two this afternoon at 4.

The american league championship series begins tonight in the bronx as the yankees host the guardians.

That one starts at 7:38!
