Bengals vs Bears Prediction

This line is a bit strange. Yes, the Bears are playing winning football, but they haven’t beaten anybody worth writing home about. A weak schedule, the Bears still have some showing and proving to do. The Bengals have major defensive issues, but the offense has come along with Flacco in the mix, topping 30 points in back-to-back games. The Bears have failed to cover 6 of their last 9 road games as a favorite. I’m just not bought in on the Bears, despite a few wins over the last month. Give me the home team and the free points.
