enter this one off a disappointing performance against the Ravens. Still not sure if it'll be Joe Flacko or Jake Browning to appear in this one as Joe is dealing with that shoulder injury, reportedly is a C joint. But the bear secondary is struggling, giving up 7.8 yards per pass, and that is third worst in the NFL.

But they're going up against Jamar, Jason T. Higgins. Kickoff 1 PM head referee, Cleet Blakeman, line Bears minus 2.5, over under 51.5. Which team bounces back in this one, Kev? Well, I mean, you hit it. I mean, it all comes down to Flacco's health and availability, because if it's Jake Browning, it's not the same team. We've obviously seen that. If Flacco plays, I like the Bengals. If Flacco doesn't play, I don't have a feel for it at all, but I probably go bears. You know, the Bengals are going to score basically 30 plus with Flacco at quarterback the rest of the year.

I mean, I truly believe that.

You know, if you look at their schedule, you know, it's the Bears, it's the Steelers.

You know, they've got the, they still have another game with the, they have two games with the Ravens,

and I don't think the Ravens defense is great.

They'll play the Patriots in a few weeks better defensively, but Cardinals, you know, they're

going to be in every game if he can be upright.

That's the key tomorrow, or on Sunday.

They win if Flacco plays, and they win something like 35 to 28.

And if he doesn't, Jake Browning's already proven he can't do the same thing.

Look, the Bears, it's a bit of a disappointing loss for them last week.

They were in it, and Caleb threw a pick late.

They've struggled in the red zone,

but they're playing a terrible defensive team in Cincinnati. What's the total in this game?

It's got to be 50 plus, right?

51 and a half.

51 and a half? Yeah. Hard to know without knowing the health of Flacco, but if flaco goes, they win.

If flaco doesn't go, they lose.

All right, next up.
