I can't hep but think of the Gamestop mob/social media stuff to prop them up to a high level just for the fun of proving that Wall Street can't control everything (and maybe making a little money).
It just has that feel when the majority of Sports commentators and game pickers pick the Rams and the betting line is 4 for the Rams. So why would so many fans go all in on the Bengals? I think it is to have some fun and to try to make the Booking houses a bit nuts. There is no way these folks truly believe that much in the Bengals.
