Now would be the time for bettors to capitalize on NFL Week 9 opening lines. Las Vegas is by no means perfect, and the early offerings each week always present some serious holes for savvy bettors to make some notable coin on if they invest quality research into the matchups. Whether it is a line that is entirely too large—take a look at the Seattle Seahawks spread in the table below—or a spread that will surely turn out to be downright wrong, bettors willing to invest the time early in the week can perhaps earn more than someone who waits to recover after a long weekend.Even at their best, the Cincinnati Bengals have rarely just blown away the competition this season.
The worst part about the Bengals, seemingly as always, is that they are unpredictable at best on a week-to-week basis. Case in point, Cincinnati was hot out of the gates with three wins, then suffered a blowout, a tie, another blowout and just won by a field goal over the Baltimore Ravens.Good news continues to seep out of the Queen City, though, as the team sounds as if it will have star wideout A.J. Green back for this showdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
"I think I'll be back. I'll practice this week and see how it goes, but I think I'll be fine," Green said, per Joe Reedy of Fox Sports Ohio. "I was at 40 percent last week and I feel about 80 percent today. I haven't had any soreness after I've worked out."
The thing is, while Jacksonville ranks 30th against the pass, Cincinnati comes in at 27th. Even worse for the home team, its defense ranks 30th against the rush, allowing an average of 146.3 yards per game on the ground. Now pair that with the fact the Jaguars have finally found a serious threat in the backfield in the form of Denard Robinson, as the numbers from his last two games show: Good news continues to seep out of the Queen City, though, as the team sounds as if it will have star wideout A.J.

Jacksonville has a load of problems, but Gus Bradley and his staff will surely look to stay on the ground and keep Andy Dalton and an erratic Bengals offense off the field. Add in the fact that the Bengals have a habit of playing down to the competition and may be ripe for a letdown, and Jacksonville—for once—seems like a sound bet.It is easy to write off the San Diego Chargers. The team enters Sunday losers of two straight, whereas the Miami Dolphins have won two straight. Add in the fact a team from out west traveling east usually spells trouble, and Miami is right to be the favorite.
Well, somewhat. As ESPN's James Walker muses, the Chargers have had plenty of time to make the proper adjustments: It is easy to write off the San Diego Chargers.
