THE PLAY: Cincinnati to win the AFC North

Cincinnati to win the AFC North

Strength of schedule is a major contributor to how an NFL team performs on the field. An easy schedule can turn a mediocre team into a division winner, while a tough schedule can turn the most talented team into an also ran. 

Cincinnati has the 6th easiest schedule in the league. Despite being in the same division, the Ravens have the 29th, the Browns the 30th and the Steelers the 32nd easiest schedules. Or to put it a different way, three of the four toughest schedules in the league. 

The Bengals get to play some of the expected worst teams in the league. New England, Washington, Carolina, the NY Giants, Las Vegas, Tennessee and Denver. They also are coming off a season in which Joe Burrow was lost for the year after week 10. The team ranked 26th in quarterback health. He just wasn’t healthy last year, and yet the Bengals won 9 games. 

With a healthy QB and an easy schedule, we see this club having a major step up on the competition.

Consultant Bio

Bryan Leonard has been a Professional Handicapper since 1984 and has built his business on honesty and customer satisfaction, two traits not easily found in today's gambling climate. He has won numerous Number One documented finishes in Basketball, Baseball, and Football Handicapping in his 35+ years in the industry. In the past, Bryan has published The Roundball Report Basketball Newsletter and The Pigskin Report Football Newsletter. Bryan has also been a featured writer for Insider Football Magazine and Grantland on ESPN.com. He has also been featured in various newspapers and websites, including the Las Vegas Review Journal, where he provided weekly football recommendations. 

 

Originally from the sports handicapping hotbed of Cleveland, Ohio, he relocated to Las Vegas in 1997 for better exposure and increased opportunities, including being able to take advantage of line shopping in Sin City. Since coming out West, Bryan has hosted his own daily radio handicapping show and is frequently sought after as an expert on many local and national sports handicapping shows. A key tool in any handicapper's arsenal is a solid group of Power Ratings, and Bryan is much sought after for his expertise. As a consultant to oddsmakers, Bryan has seen the action on both sides of the counter. His numbers are regarded by many to be as strong as any in the country. 

 

Bryan was the 2000 regular season champion of the Sunset Station Invitational Handicapping Contest, as well as the second-place finisher in 2001. In fact, Bryan is the only handicapper to finish in the top five in each of the final three seasons of that contest. He was also a Top 10 Finisher in the 2003 Hilton Superbook Contest, as well as an invited guest in the 2003 and 2004 Stardust Invitationals. Mr. Leonard is also a Two Time Finalist in the Cantor Football Showdown, which is filmed live from the Golden Nugget Sportsbook in downtown Las Vegas. Bryan has now been a finalist 7 times in various Las Vegas handicapping contests. 

 

 Quality over quantity has been Bryan's mantra in sports gambling. If you are looking for a shotgun approach to this business, keep looking. As Bryan releases only the games, he bets himself. If he can't find a wager worth making that day, Bryan will pass, living to fight another day. He started out way back when specializing in the NBA with great success. And has since moved on to cover all four major sports in the United States. Bryan has produced huge profit the past three seasons in MLB action and has yet to have a losing NHL campaign. If you are looking for a long-term, proven winner in pro and college action, look no further.
