Cincinnati Bengals at New York Jets 2010 NFL Predictions, Odds, and Picks Week 12: Head football coach Marvin Lewis will lead his Cincinnati Bengals on the road to the New Meadowlands Stadium to take on the New York Jets in a Thanksgiving Night Game at 8:20 PM ET on the NFL Channel. The Bengals come in 2-8 4th in the AFC North and on a 7 game losing streak while the Jets are 8-2 2nd in the AFC East and moving in the other direction winning three in a row. Cincinnati has lost 8 of their last 9 games against the Jets and ended last season with 2 disappointing losses to them to send them home. Coach Lewis has a talented team but can’t seem to put together the chemistry to make them win. Jets head football coach Rex Ryan on the other hand seems to squeeze the most out of his team as they keep finding ways to win with 2 of their three current wins coming on the road in overtime an NFL record. “The fact we came back might be better for our team in the long run,” coach Rex Ryan said. The odds makers at JustBET have the New York Jets -9 point favorites at home against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Wide receiver Terrell Owens caught 3 balls for 63 yards and a touchdown and his comments sum up the Bengals situation. “We may go 2-14 at the rate we’re playing,” Owens said. “We’re not good, period. I hope we don’t take the disappointment (from Sunday) into the short week, into the game against the Jets. If not, they may put 49-plus on us. They have a great defense. Their offense is explosive. And if we come with the performance that we played with (against Buffalo), it’s over. It’s lights out.” Vegas odds makers have the over/under for the total score at 43 points combined of the Cincinnati Bengals and New York Jets.
I like the Jets to continue to win! Lights out.
