Final Analysis and RideTheHotHand Free Pick
Many people will look at the line and think “what is Vegas thinking”? How can Cincinnatti be favored? Well we’re here to tell you that they should be. Yes Denver is the reigning champs and yes they’ve looked good in their 2-0 start. This game will not be played at comfortable Invesco Field were the other team is winded in the 2nd half. This game is not only in Cincinnati but it’s their long awaited home opener. Quarterback Trevor Siemian isn’t going to have nearly the easy time as he did at home. The kid will have trouble with the crowd and that very good Cincinnati secondary will pick him off a couple times. Andy Dalton will have a fantastic game because again…. he is fantastic at home (18-4-1 last 3 seasons). The Bengals will finally get the running game going enough for Dalton to hit some long strikes. We like the Bengals here to win and cover the 3 point spread and as a bonus we like the OVER 41. THE PICK: Bengals -3 OVER 41

Free Pick By Handicapper Alex Smart
In my humble opinion there is an obvious lack of cohesion in the Washington Redskins locker room and on the sidelines and most noticeably on the field. Losing your first two home games of the season, does not do alot for a teams confidence. Yes, I know QB Cousins has thrown for a big chunk yards through two games (693) but he has only 1 touchdown and three interceptions to show for it in his one man flying circus. Meanwhile the Gmen are performing at the proverbial opposite end of the performance spectrum with a 2-0 record. With QB Manning doing just enough , in between some top tier play from the Giants D, the home side looked poised to start their season 3-0. It must noted that NYG allowed the Saints just 3 /3rd down conversions in 13 tries in their last game a 16-13 win.
Redskins are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 games in Week 3.Giants are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in Week 3.Home team is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.Redskins are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 meetings in New York. Redskins are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 meetings.
