Bengals vs. Chargers

[The lines below are as of 11/13 at 2:45 p.m. PST]

• CIN ML: +108

Holder’s picks: CIN +1.5, Under 47.5, CIN ML

To be honest, I don’t know how you don’t take the hungrier and more desperate dog in a game like this one. Also, despite their record, the Chargers don’t have that strong of a résumé as their most impressive win this season came against the Broncos. So, I’ll take the Bengals who have extra time to prepare after playing on Thursday night last week and have been playing well recently.
