NFL Playoff Free Pick: Take Cincinnati. According to latest NFL trends, Cincinnati is 8-0 ATS L8 in series. The Bengals blew their chance to get back in the AFC North race after losing to Dallas last week, 20-19. At 7-6,the are probably looking at an AFC Wild Card shot. Cincinnati’s defense had not allowed more than 13 points in its previous four games before the Dallas game. But fortunately they take on a Philadelphia (4-9) team that is playing for pride. They did come back from an 11-point deficit to show Tampa Bay last week, 23-21, snapping an eight-game losing streak. Here’s the problem. QB Nick Foles won’t have TE Brent Celek (concussion), WR DeSean Jackson (IR) and LeSean McCoy (concussion) also is doubtful.
