When you think about the best running backs in the NFL right now, there are probably several names that come to mind. Is Green Bay Packers running back ...

Let's stay the course and bet on Burrow and the Bengals to continue surging in late December. Or will the Bengals continue to be the most profitable team to bet on against the spread? One more win and a Chiefs loss to Seattle in Week 16 will put the Bengals into the second seed in the AFC, with an upcoming matchup against the Buffalo Bills to potentially lock up the top overall seed in the AFC. They have even hit the over in one more game at 6-8 in comparison to Cincinnati, although the Bengals are averaging five points more per game on offense at 26.4. The Ravens owned the tiebreaker over the Bengals from earlier in the year, but the comeback win over Tampa Bay finally got Cincinnati to a 10-4 record, usurping the Ravens for the AFC North divisional lead. A controversial touchdown call in favor of Las Vegas put the Patriots in the position to run the clock out for overtime, until the laterals ensued, effectively ending the game in a loss. Cincinnati won the AFC in 2021 and is currently in a great position entering Week 16 due to Baltimore's road loss to Cleveland. It's the type of loss that sends fanbases into a blind rage, while players and coaches alike in New England will eagerly look forward to a fresh start in a new game. As bad as the ending of New England's game turned out to be, the offense looked good behind second-year running back Rhamondre Stevenson, who logged 19 carries for 172 yards and a touchdown in a monster performance for the Patriots. That peak was with the Los Angeles Lakers as he led the team to a historic three-peat and along with him at the time was another one of the greats in Kobe Bryant. You have to think about everything in that situation and that’s something that he did and that’s his job and he’s done that for a long time. Considering all that he ended up achieving, O'Neal has supreme self-confidence in his abilities and made the bold claim that a team of himself, Kobe, and LeBron would sweep a team of Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Larry Bird.
