Bizarro Bowl Preview Part 2 - Gambling

When the Bizarro Bowl line opened at Cincinnati -2.5, the gamblers went nuts and drove the line all the way to -3.5. Wow people must be really excited to put their money down on the likes of Ryan Fitzpatrick and Chad Johnson Ocho Cinco Giant Douchebag. Well, the Lions have yet to win a game all season so it looks like a good bet, right? Let's see how the Lions and Bengals did against the spread (ATS) this year. According to this website, both the Lions and Bengals actually went 7-9 ATS. So this tells us while both teams are bad, they weren't as bad as people expected them to be each week. The Lions actually won their last three of four ATS. The Bengals won their last three both outright and against the spread. So what is my official prediction for this bet? My advice is to not bet on these crap teams and do squares instead. At least with squares, you don't have to root for either one of these eysores.
